    Funny you think the CIA operates the same as the KGB

      Yeah, I mean one of these organizations has staged “vampire” attacks in Latin America, and dosed its own citizens with LSD for funsies, and the other one is the KGB

        Exactly, neither of those things involves exploding people!

        And don’t forget psychic goats.

      Imagine who much further along the world would be if we stooped to their levels. Dictators would be extinct. Cartels wouldn’t exist. I would be erect 24/7.

        Have you forgotten what the Funny Alphabet Agency does?

          Why would we need to build cartels and install dictators if we could just simply drone strike the opposition?

            If the CIA operated like the KGB, we’d have an autocrat in the White House, and the CIA would still be selling drugs on US streets to destabilize internal demographics.

            This is the organization that had data that torture wasn’t effective, and then was told by the fucking president to stop torturing people, and it came out several years later in front of Congress that they just kept on torturing people regardless.

              And they still do, don’t worry. We just can’t call it torture now, or do it within the US. There’s a long institutional memory that remembers when the CIA could literally launch an invasion of a foreign country and drag the executive branch into the conflict with it.

                The “Enhanced interrogation” was what they were told to stop. They kept “enhanced interrogating” people.

        Bro I’m very much a pro America guy, but what? We built half those dictators, seemingly as a joke. We literally trolled in a decades long, international level.

        I must upvote this because to believe that someone on this site unironically thinks the CIA doesn’t support dictators and cartels would probably give me an aneurysm

        I unironically think the CIA are the good guys, even if they have to do unsavory things to do good.

          I unironically believe this too. In 2016 I was like “yeah! The deep state is bad! Fuck em! Washington doesn’t represent me!” and then, well, the last 8 years happened

                  If you work hard enough to destabilize the world for the New World Order and Biden dies from old age then you’ll get to be the sniffer.

                  It’s a sniff or be sniffed world.
