#bulletproof #zpravodajskesluzby #rusko #cina Today, the entire Western world wants to exchange intelligence information with the Czech Republic, which happened in recent years rather in spite of the country's political leadership. According to him, private companies today often have greater intelligence capacities than states and can also be more efficient in the use of information. On his desk at work is an analysis of what parts for Russian weapons are produced abroad and how to stop their supply and thus help Ukraine, which is bombed daily. It deals not only with supply chains to Russia, but also to China or Iran. Daniel Bagge worked for two years as a technology strategist in the Czech Military Intelligence, where, according to him, he met some of the most intelligent and talented people in his career. This can also be seen in the fact that the top intelligence agencies of the entire Western world want to talk and exchange information with the Czech Republic today. "When I was dealing with the partners at Five Eyes (an international intelligence alliance), it was shocking to me to see how excited they were to be able to share data and algorithms with us," Bagge says, noting that at that moment it was clear that when the Czechs want to, they can be at the very top. But it mostly fails because of the poor ability of superiors to lead their people. "I would rate the Czech intelligence services 8 out of 10 in times of crisis, but only 4 out of 10 in times of peace," he says, adding that when trouble approaches, the Czechs are very good at improvising. On the other hand, when there is calm, we cannot transform improvisation into functional system solutions. Although today the footage of cities destroyed by artillery seems to be from the Second World War, in reality we are witnessing a new generation of warfare. This is manifested primarily in the speed and system of information transmission. At the same time, private actors such as Microsoft, Starlink, Palantir and other companies, whose capacities today are often much higher than the capabilities of states, are beginning to play a key role in wars. Daniel Bagge himself joined this trend, who less than a year ago left the civil service after almost two decades and today works in the private international company Strider Technologies, where he deals with security intelligence as a senior analyst. We also talked about the future of intelligence services, a declining China or the United States under Donald Trump.
