- duxup 8y agoTo me that makes it sound even less like a CIA operation.
- Someone1234 8y agoWhat is it you imagine CIA operations are like? The CIA has a long history of incompetence e.g.: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/15/botched-cia-communications-system-helped-blow-cover-chinese-agents-intelligence/ https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/15/botched-cia-communicati... Some have claimed that their secrecy is less about national security, and more about job security. If the public knew their mistakes, they would have been disbanded a long time ago (although similar claims have been made about the UK's SIS).
- duxup 8y agoI feel like you're talking about your impression of the CIA and that somehow makes you think that this fairly unprecedented and odd event .... somehow must be them. I can't convince you otherwise, or even explain my own POV, if you have some strong belief that this must be them, even without much of any evidence. I also don't think people care like you think they care.
- Someone1234 8y ago> somehow must be them. That wasn't something I said. > if you have some strong belief that this must be them Literally never said nor implied that. > I also don't think people care like you think they care. I don't know what this is in response to. Did you reply to the wrong post?

Are you serious? That example is a far cry from acting like a bunch of incompetent bank robbers, like whoever conducted this present attack on the NK embassy.
