@geopoliticalmusings: Intelligence Services Shift to Civilian Proxy Operations Intelligence services worldwide are increasingly working through civilian proxies rather than traditional diplomatic operatives. This trend spans major and minor powers alike, with recent public examples from North America, Europe, and Asia. These operations range from information gathering to direct action, carried out through networks of private citizens, contractors, and criminal groups. The practice appears driven by practical benefits: it's often cheaper, provides deniability, and helps circumvent traditional counter-intelligence measures. #intelligence #espionage #proxies #competition #spy #surveillance #states #geopolitics #information Source: https://worldview.stratfor.com/article/saboteurs-dilemma-risk-using-proxies-espionage
