Oct. 7th, like 9/11, was allowed to happen through a series of deliberate failures despite clear actionable intelligence that an attack was imminent. Both were used to justify what would otherwise be unpopular wars to their respective populations.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that not a single person in any agency deemed it necessary to share information on an imminent attack with other agencies in the federal government, the CIA extensively monitored the planners and executors of the 9/11 attacks yet neglected to ask the state department to place a single person on a watchlist and when an FBI liaison asked to share information with the FBI they were told no

Hence the phrase “deliberate failures,” because in my eyes that’s exactly what they were

Correct ; definitely could’ve shared information if they wanted to
