I want to see if you actually know what you're talking about

    What the fuck are you talking about, Libya literally had the highest standard of living in Africa until they got color revolution'd during the Obama administration. Syria is in ruins with millions displaced due to a CIA color revolution. What do you mean by the CIA not being what it used to be?

      They didn't just get color revolution. We led military strikes into Libya. Not some lame hk protest scenario.

        You can’t be this dense to think the military and cia don’t work in concert with each other. What do you mean by the cia ain’t what it used to be? Like the old grey horse?

          The Cia isn't able to just Jakarta method people like they used to.

          Look at Bolivia. Look at Venezuela. Look at Libya. They had to bring actual military campaigns to flip Libya. Look at hk etc etc.

          What I'm saying is that the Cia just like the rest of America is not what it used to be, it's in decay. Either we are a dying empire with institutions filled with fat old dummies. Or we are still a power house that can destory a nation through soft power moves

          That's what I'm getting at.

            And why can’t both be true as you just demonstrated in you argument? It’s full of dip shits with a powerful public and private army.

            They have all the world’s resources at their peril and still are highly ineffective, but with enough force they can eventually fuck some shit up and if they can’t figure out a way with the cia they’ll just start bombing you and it will always be justified to the people in this country. So yes it’s a failing empire that can destroy a nation through soft power moves. Don’t know when those two became mutually exclusive.
