- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

most of these security agencies effectiveness is just in the myth's they've built around themselves of actually being effective.
mossad in particular, just has a complete disregard for killing innocents and a really good propaganda wing to suppress all their fuckups.
most killers are not right in the head, they act on pure emotion, they post "i am going kill X" online to their social media of choice the night before going to kill X...it's dumb as shit. that's how low the bar is on utilizing violence
fact is lone wolf threats are practically unstoppable, especially if they have a modicum of competency
this is also why it's said killing gets easier/"first ones the hardest" etc. even if your not some sociopath (which, most people as a whole arent)...once you know and understand just how easy it is to kill people and get away with it...lot of the worlds problems start to look like they have very easy solutions...
I mean, tell it to Jeffery Epstein. The man was pulling strings halfway around the world with his endless supply of blackmail and bribery.
Also lots of killers seek psychiatric help voluntarily (and are often sadly ignored). For a sane, moderately competent person it's easy to plan the perfect murder or terror attack -- it's a different thing to carry it through because a sane person also has mental guardrails.
Mossad is effective because Israelis are ruthlessly trained to dehumanize anyone who's an obstacle to their goals.
