    Can you not have more than one thought in your head at any given time? Why would stating that CIA is bad imply that everyone else was good?

        Nobody is forbidding talk about the atrocities of the KGB, though. Have you considered you’re just perhaps a little jaded by .ml and just need to chill?

          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.

            Nope. The down arrows to your comment are due the sheer insanity of it. You’re saying that every criticism of the CIA has to include a disclaimer saying the KGB is also bad or you’re supporting it. You’re completely and utterly out of your mind.

      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.
