I assure you, based on the responses to my initial comment (and the copious down arrows) that NO we can not talk about the KGB. It’s the CIA alone in the world f’ing up nations. That is the narrative. Do not look at a bigger picture.

Nope. The down arrows to your comment are due the sheer insanity of it. You're saying that every criticism of the CIA has to include a disclaimer saying the KGB is also bad or you're supporting it. You're completely and utterly out of your mind.

Nope. Didn’t say that at all. What I said was the CIA criticism -and it’s justified criticism- never carries with it any criticism of the Soviets, who were doing very similar shit. And for some reason that just pisses people off.

No, you did pretty explicitly say that.
