How do dice rolls work?

Something very frustrating happening in my latest game. I went to war against a country controlled by Protectorate. Next thing I know somehow they managed to secure two control points in Russia (which I had way over 50% public opinion and surrounded by other countries where I had high opinion)
When I tried to recapture the control point (without defense) my councilors with 12 Espionage had 3% chance (which I increased using Ops). So how on earth did AI capture 2 points with what should have been lower odds.
To make matters much worse, I come to finally discover it was an Alien councilor. But this really irks me, I have had at least 8 rolls to identify him and 7 of them rolled a 95 or higher. WTF!!! Does the game cheat and roll insanely high numbers for Aliens. There is no way a random dice roll would do that - and also give him extremely favorable rolls in taking over my control points.
And forget about trying to capture or kill the alien - can't do that until I can spy him 3 times
