I would argue that ours is not working very well and it is--at the moment.

We expect our adversaries and our strategic competitors to refine their capabilities and add new tactics as they learn from each other's experiences, suggesting the threat landscape could look very different in 2020 and future elections.

adversaries and strategic competitors will increasingly use cyber capabilities--including cyber espionage, attack, and influence--to seek political, economic, and military advantage over the United States and its allies and partners.

I believe the top of the list will be to reinforce the prime imperative for our Nation's Intelligence Community: to find the truth and to speak truth to power, without fear of political retribution.
