    You don’t have to defend the brutal dictators to shit on the fuckwits in the CIA.

    You can, in fact, hate both.

      “Disband the CIA but popular discontent in dictatorships is generally not a CIA plot” is where I’m coming from.

        We know what happens when the CIA tries to home grow a movement against a dictator from scratch

        It was called the bay of pigs, and it was such a disaster it’s why the CIA started exclusively using the tactic of attaching themselves to already existent movements.
