Venezuela lives rent free in the heads of neocons. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I swear the only successful thing the CIA has done is convince people they know what they are doing. Like, do they simply operate in volume, because it seems like they are constantly taking 'L's

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 64 points 2 months ago

honestly I think the world was just a very different place back when they had their most successful operations. The US had a massive technological advantage over the often very unstable former colonies and war-torn countries rebuilding after the war, borders were looser, electronic surveillance not really an option for many third-world countries. Like, back then, a CIA hit squad could just bring a bunch of guns on a commercial flight, sexually harass the stewardesses, get drunk and pop a few quaaludes, assassinate an African head of state and be back on base by lunch. Can't do that anymore, because of woke. trump-kaneki

anyway

The grim thing is that they are such a powerful organization that they can afford to do the strategic equivalent of human wave tactics and just keep throwing schemes at the wall until one sticks.

[-] Sabbo@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

True, but from the last few decades it looks like they are running out of fodder

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Those burgerbrains only know human wave tactics and eating corn syrup.

Fidel Castro dying of old age demonstrated just how poor the CIA is at their job.

soon they will attempt a coup on Georgia. They've been ultra busy these past few years.

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

They just half-assing Venezuela or what?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it's kind of a "they have to be lucky every time, we only have to be lucky once" situation

It's easy to get caught failing when you have ops in every country on the planet. Ik ik paper tigers or whatever, but don't sleep on them

the US really can't get over Venezuela I guess

[-] someone@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

Some of, if not the, largest oil reserves on the planet, and it's not being put towards making American oil company owners wealthier. Of course the US will never get over Venezuela.
