As we watch security clearance failures here, I wonder who is minding the security stores anywhere.
"Western" security is amazingly (and historically) incompetent. "Western" IT personnel are amazingly incompetent.
(I'm not saying that non-western Sec/IT systems are any more competent. But we [western] play defense, while they play offense.)
..a major "next step" on our way to war will be when "Western" security actually starts to (urgently) improve their competence.
I know this is Captain Obvious material, but it needs to be acknowledged.
What I am, personally, looking for these days, in relation to the oncoming war(s), are those "changes in direction" of the mood and operation of the masses (and systems) of people within their respective countries.
Security oriented "professionals" are notorious for being "butt coverers", and when that "mood" changes, it means a significant change in "a society".
