Ah yes, let's believe the very reliable CIA and their informants about threats against the CIA. They've proven themselves so trustworthy in the past.

While the ultimate source is probably the CIA, this is the Jerusalem Post reporting about an upcoming book by an academic historian—so it’s presumably been vetted by a few other parties.

The term "vetted" is doing a lot of heavy work there. "Laundered" would be far more accurate in this context of imperialist invention of reality or consent manufacturing.

Vetted it probably has been, as for it being vetted for truthfulness...

Russia literally attempted to assassinate a man and his daughter in Salisbury, UK.

This is their MO, just like the song "It's raining men!" Isn't a celebration in Moscow, it's a warning to take cover.

You believe that story too?

[-] InverseParallax@voyager.lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah actually, I do.

I also work with Russians, they know the score.

You believe the bs they pump out on state media?

Based. I hope the FSB and CIA kill eachother until there are no more glowies.

The CIA is responsible for numerous coups, torture, and murder of innocent people. So I say good for them

Are you ok? "Its OK that someone kills someone else because some time in the past bad things happened" We are aware that the CIA is not an angel but at the same time is not right to sponsor death penalties because someone else did it in the past.

The CIA is still doing shit, I just don't understand you usonians, you think that simply because the CIA doesn't declassify intel 50 years after they do shit they don't do it, and then that allows you the moral background to say "yeah well it's the past, forget it". Yeah, in the '50s you'd say they're not doing in anything while in fact they were installing fascists regimes all over latinoamerica, imagine what they're doing now, but I guess blind faith.
