    It’s just that the CIA did sooo many fucking atrocities, that quite a few of them (most notably experiments and their silly stuff like trying to murder Castro) turned out to be failures.

    And during the Cold War the CIA was some axis of evil shit. Any time some leftists came to power in the US’s “backyard” (read the Americas and Caribbean. but tbh most of the world), you would either see a fascist coup or some either attempt to delegitimise them…

    Guess who trained the mujahedeen in Afghanistan and the contras in Nicaragua, and gave money, resources and guidance to the fascist military in Chile? (just some historic examples)

    Nowadays you still have the same shit but less. Especially in the US’s “backyard”. Like Bolivia a few yes ago bc they wanted to nationalise their resources (most notably lithium mines)

    But a lot of the time the CIA just makes the preparatory work for US Invasion (Grenada, Iraq and Afghanistan to give some examples)
