Foreign Policy magazine, Thursday, published an article that considered dealing with the Corona epidemic as the worst failure in the history of the CIA, due to mistakes by the administration of President Donald Trump.
The magazine noted in an article by author Mika Zinko that the CIA´s blatant failure over the emerging Corona virus was worse than that in the Pearl Harbor attacks and the 11 September 2001 attacks.
Zinco explained that the Trump administration failed double failure when it failed to take specific and repeated intelligence warnings about the possibility of the virus seriously, and also failed to launch initiatives to respond to the epidemic across America in proportion to the size of the expected threat.
The writer said that Trump administration officials issued a series of provisions that reduce the risk of the virus, and made decisions, including refusing to move quickly to reduce the epidemic, which negatively affected the security of American citizens.
The article pointed out that the Trump administration imposed on the American people a catastrophic emergency strategy to deal with the imminent danger posed by Corona, but that strategy differs from its predecessors in the history of the United States. 1941 and the September 11, 2001 attacks, Trump´s surprise plan is the result of unprecedented indifference and willful neglect.
He said that the Washington Post published a report last week that highlights repeated warnings of alarms about the Corona virus that US intelligence services provided to the White House in January and February.
