- Zigurd 2y agoThe CIA was never one thing, working toward a single coherent goal. The liberation of Eastern Europe in the 1990s and the defense of Ukraine were partly the work of the CIA and allied intelligence services. Except for the Cold War aspects of regime change in South America, and we know a lot of it had very little to do with geostrategic concerns and a lot to do with US private sector economic interests, the South American dictators they installed have done a lot that harms US interests in addition to the obvious harm to the people living there. The CIA is capable of both and a lot more.

- cpursley 2y agoYep, at least they don't do this sort of thing any more: https://archive.ph/TnumH https://archive.ph/TnumH
- hindsightbias 2y agoThey don't have to. You can't travel anywhere in LA, SA or the ME without encountering the view that people have no agency. Their leaders even cultivate that view as a means to stay in power. And there is an endless queue of commenters to percolate it forever. Greatest psyop ever. The CIA could have gone out of business decades back and it wouldn't change anything.
