the cia has a long history of being involved in conspiracies against states they consider enemies
the fact that it has caused a lot of misery for questionable benefit is already proof their competence is in question
but short term competence is a diff thing than long term competence

Well if you believe in Russian influence in US politics and culture I don’t think it’s that far fetched to believe the US is doing the same thing in other countries

Politicians do tend to spin that as a bad thing but they were just given the invitation to build up their economy and global influence and ran with it, China is just doing what is best for China and it’s understandable

I think it peaked in the earlier episodes and the last 3 episodes kinda just had too many twists without much explanation behind them
