📝 Summary
In the United States, large-scale layoffs in intelligence have begun, and this raises serious concerns in the intelligence community, according to The Washington Post (WP), citing former and current American officials.
Massive cuts to U.S. intelligence agencies, especially the layoffs of young employees, will make it harder to gather intelligence on China, Russia, Iran, and the threats that terrorist groups may pose in the future. A former senior intelligence official who trains recruits likened the situation to being shot in the head rather than in the leg. He called the work of the security services "an investment in the future." “We shoot ourselves in the head, not in the foot,” he said. After Donald Trump returned to the White House, hundreds of employees were fired, including CIA agents and cipher crackers at the National Security Agency. The Pentagon is expected to begin laying off 5,400 civil servants on probation this week. These and other measures, as well as conflicting information from the authorities, worry the intelligence community. Senior officials say they have never seen such confusion in decades of their work. An analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency told The Washington Post that “work is almost impossible right now and morale is below the ground.” The cancellation of diversity, equity and inclusion programmes (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, DEI) was particularly painful for employees. For years, government officials have spoken of a shortage of language proficient and undercover professionals in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The State Department's plans to close some diplomatic missions overseas also raise concerns in the intelligence community. The head of the Department of efficiency of the U.S. government (DOGE) Elon Musk previously said that the United States reduces civil servants for their transfer to the private sector.
