So thread relevant note I came across while reading “Kill Chain” - allegedly during the Ukraine/Crimea conflict a few years back, the Russians were apparently good at triangulating unit emissions to hit Ukrainian formations.
To take out a Ukrainian commander who had proven particularly annoying by practicing good EMCON, the Russians had someone call his mother posing as Ukrainian MoD to inform her her son had been a casualty.
When she called him to leave a message, when he called her back to inform her he was still unhurt, they were finally able to zero in on him and kill him.
More tactical level than the big picture stuff discussed here, but interesting.

I am left a little bit wary from the bare details in the article, at the very least some (external) oversight should be exercised to ensure it is all kosher and legal. Even then it is still better to keep folks, to include Congress, in the loop than to just assume all is good. Many of the activities Snowden revealed were perfectly legal but still caused an uproar, much of it unjustified, and it resulted in new laws, regulations and polices.
I'll admit I'm a bit more ornery than usual at the end of a short week but did you ever think it might not just be the mods?

CHYCAPS, having only ever known their own conformist, strict society, want to study if there is a genetic reason why so many Americans do things like drive slowly in the left lane or don't put the shopping cart back in the little corral in the parking lot... if our counterintel folks want to really mess with their heads, they ought to plant the DNA of poepleofwalmart dot com in those labs, sorta like the old days when the Russians supposedly got ahold of the bad version of the Concorde blueprints.TL;DR: China using COVID as a cover to collect DNA, says top US counterintelligence official.China's push to control Americans' health care future
