What is the difference between bad intelligence vs the average conspiracy theorist? It is all just bad intelligence someone telling someone else "data" that they then "trust" reflects reality when in reality it doesn't.


Well, quite. It's surprising - or perhaps not - how often foreign policy tends to be conspiracy theory with state approval.
