The effective intelligence is possible in that case if there are groups of the compatriots abroad. For this reason very good intelligence have China and Israel. Compare from this point of view of an opportunity of USA, Great Britain and Russia.
Joke:
For many years the Americans have been training an agent to work in Russia. His
legend was superbly elaborated. Finally he was dropped off from a plane into
the Russian territory dressed in a quilted jacket, felt high boots and a cap
with ear-flaps. He stepped out of the woods came to the nearest log cabin and
asked the old woman who lived there for a drink.
-Are you a spy dearly, the lady asked.
-Where did you get that from, old lady.
-Well, we never saw black men in these parts before.
