That's pretty much like the norm for Anti-Tankies and Left Anti-Communists, they will almost always side with US-NATO and condemn the BRICS+ almost all the time when it comes about world politics and geopolitical issues...

wasn't that really the main point of the OSS and CIA anyway?

Yep. The founding fathers of the CIA were Wall Street fascists and Nazi friendos. Got a bunch of horrific Nazis out of any punishment whatsoever. There were even rumors that FDR wanted to charge Allen Dulles with treason for befriending a bunch of Nazi brass during the war. Good thing for Dulles, the CIA, and Wall Street that FDR kicked the can before then, and even better that they had organized for their man (Truman) to be VP that term.

Tldr: the CIA was started by Nazi-sympathetic US capitalists as an anti-communist organization.
