Venezuela announces dismantling of CIA-backed coup plot, arrest of active-duty Navy Seal
(peoplesdispatch.org)
again?
Venezuela lives rent free in the heads of neocons. ๐
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
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. 
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.
True, but from the last few decades it looks like they are running out of fodder
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.
they just did bangladesh last month
soon they will attempt a coup on Georgia. They've been ultra busy these past few years.
They just half-assing Venezuela or what?
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
Fair, I just want the fed reading these comments to feel hurt ๐
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
my link to venezuelan fishermen singing a song about how they defeated the US coup under trump is dead
Wait, again?
the US really can't get over Venezuela I guess
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.
Can we get another picture of piss trickling towards the merc's own face again
CIA BTFO
no more half measures walter
I hope he's treated exactly as he deserves
