In the months ahead, amid lingering questions about whether U.S. intelligence on Russia and Ukraine was accurate enough, it will likely fall to CIA Director William Burns to offer many of the answers
As part of his desire to ensure the CIA’s long-term focus remains on China, Burns has established a China Mission Center, the agency’s only such center focused on a single country. The agency also is increasing its budget for China-related work, and it hopes to double its number of Mandarin-speaking officers.
“We named an auditorium after the guy, and he’s not even dead,” a State Department official quipped. Critics have questioned whether the U.S. intelligence community was too slow to realize how quickly Kabul would fall. The Biden administration, and the CIA in particular, has been lauded for its accurate predictions about Putin’s moves against Ukraine as well as its decision to publicize some of what the United States knew. It remains unclear, however, why the United States did not — at least publicly — predict how poorly the Russian military would do and how long the Ukrainian military could hold out.
