The Oak Ridge National Lab has a secret intelligence division that, along with the United Nations and the US government, monitors nuclear programs.

Sharing counterintelligence information between countries requires a greater degree of trust, which can put US intelligence assets at risk, as seen in the case of a large group of sources in China being killed after Iran shared information with its Chinese counterparts.
American fundamentalists have traveled to foreign countries such as Uganda to advocate for fundamentalist laws, which has led to the persecution and criminalization of activities such as homosexuality in those countries.

John Bolton confirmed that two people under his command were hit by Havana Syndrome and US military members have also been affected. The Russians are also known to have this technology.
The development of infrastructure projects today takes significantly longer than in the past, with examples such as Australia's nuclear submarine taking 20 years to build in comparison to the first nuclear submarine which was built in just a few years. It is demonstrated that this slow pace of development contrasts with China's ability to build infrastructure at a much faster pace such as a hospital in 10 days during the pandemic.
In 1983, the Soviet Union misread the intentions of an operation conducted by the United States, known as "Operation Able Archer", and believed that the U.S. was preparing for a first nuclear strike, leading to a tense situation and a potential nuclear conflict.
