Nope. Didn’t say that at all. What I said was the CIA criticism -and it’s justified criticism- never carries with it any criticism of the Soviets, who were doing very similar shit. And for some reason that just pisses people off.

I assure you, based on the responses to my initial comment (and the copious down arrows) that NO we can not talk about the KGB. It’s the CIA alone in the world f’ing up nations. That is the narrative. Do not look at a bigger picture.

How’d you guess? You so smart!

Thanks for the name calling. I am educated now.

I’ve been hearing about CIA atrocities for decades. They’re real, they’re ongoing, they’re something people should know about. But most folks who dwell on the CIA never ever look into the other side of the Cold War, the KGB, the Soviet Union, and all the equally heinous shit they did. It’s like they didn’t exist and the CIA did its deeds out of perverse fun & psychosis. It was decades of covert “war” between two competing superpowers. Acknowledge that there were two sides and they both engaged in covert war activities.

Yes, literally. Except that cake and pop tarts are made of the same ingredients.

Yes indeed, everything that strays from the dogma at hand is whataboutism. Historical perspective, nuanced details, everything. To say the CIA is bad implicitly implies everyone else was good.

Yes. But don’t understate the shit the Soviets were doing.

He is f’ing crazy and has the ear of the highest levels of government
