I’ve been hearing about CIA atrocities for decades. They’re real, they’re ongoing, they’re something people should know about. But most folks who dwell on the CIA never ever look into the other side of the Cold War, the KGB, the Soviet Union, and all the equally heinous shit they did. It’s like they didn’t exist and the CIA did its deeds out of perverse fun & psychosis. It was decades of covert “war” between two competing superpowers. Acknowledge that there were two sides and they both engaged in covert war activities.
