Speaking to POLITICO,  Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)  criticized our lack of preparedness on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“We have to better deploy our resources… because we have large resources and it should not be possible for Russia to walk in and take over the Crimea and it’s a done deal by the time we know about it,”told POLITICO as she left a closed-door briefing for committee members on Ukraine and other issues. Feinstein indicated that the intelligence community has already moved to re-focus on the region.”
