## Resource

Dutch intelligence thought Russia was bluffing—no invasion coming—until tanks rolled in just two days after their final briefing. While U.S. intel warned of war, Dutch agencies, relying on a deep insider source, were convinced the buildup was political theater. Even the ambassador was preparing for conflict months earlier, evacuating his family and urging Dutch citizens to leave. A sobering reminder: even the best intel can miss the human twist that changes everything. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
