The sentiment in Washington before the Moscow attack was that Russians needed to experience firsthand the impact of the war in Ukraine. This attitude intensified as US sanctions proved ineffective, Russian advancements in Ukraine quickened, and President Putin received a high level of support from the Russian population during recent elections.

Previous attempts to make Russians understand the war's effects included drone strikes on major city centers, attacks on infrastructure, and efforts to destabilize Russia's economy.

Like even in a practical point of view this is some truly fucking dumb shit from this CIA freak, I can tell why shes a former operative if this is the quality of her work.

I've never believed that there's any such thing as "former" CIA.

Yeah there is, there's a wall with a bunch of stars on it dedicated to 'former' CIA

[-] someone@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Ah, right! I forgot about the people in the CIA who are good.
