      Except that while dangerous and destructive, the CIA is constantly fucking up.

      They can topple a government, but generally have little to no control what happens next. Hollywood has given people a twisted view of what those assholes are capable of, including the assholes in question themselves.

      It’s blown up in their faces a few times, which I’d cheer for if it didn’t mean a decades long civil war somewhere, or new terrorist organization, or literal Nazi death squads. Sadly I think they counted that last one as a success.
