Russian agents made an attempt to assassinate a former Russian agent turned CIA informant on American soil in 2020, according to multiple sources.
Ah yes, let’s believe the very reliable CIA and their informants about threats against the CIA. They’ve proven themselves so trustworthy in the past.
Russia literally attempted to assassinate a man and his daughter in Salisbury, UK.
This is their MO, just like the song “It’s raining men!” Isn’t a celebration in Moscow, it’s a warning to take cover.
You believe that story too?
Yeah actually, I do.
I also work with Russians, they know the score.
You believe the bs they pump out on state media?

While the ultimate source is probably the CIA, this is the Jerusalem Post reporting about an upcoming book by an academic historian—so it’s presumably been vetted by a few other parties.
The term “vetted” is doing a lot of heavy work there. “Laundered” would be far more accurate in this context of imperialist invention of reality or consent manufacturing.

Vetted it probably has been, as for it being vetted for truthfulness…
Based. I hope the FSB and CIA kill eachother until there are no more glowies.
Yeah OK. So they’ve known about this for 3 years now, and decided to release the information now? Smells like another Havana Syndrome case.
It is actually because he was under a version of witness protection but then used his real name for a fishing license iirc
If proven wouldn’t this be an act of war?
The CIA is responsible for numerous coups, torture, and murder of innocent people. So I say good for them
Are you ok? “Its OK that someone kills someone else because some time in the past bad things happened” We are aware that the CIA is not an angel but at the same time is not right to sponsor death penalties because someone else did it in the past.
The CIA is still doing shit, I just don’t understand you usonians, you think that simply because the CIA doesn’t declassify intel 50 years after they do shit they don’t do it, and then that allows you the moral background to say “yeah well it’s the past, forget it”. Yeah, in the '50s you’d say they’re not doing in anything while in fact they were installing fascists regimes all over latinoamerica, imagine what they’re doing now, but I guess blind faith.
If a Russian happens to come to my house I’m not justify to kill him because Putin invaded Ukraine.
That’s my point. I’m far from thinking CIA is good, I simply do not justify any random killing, one side or the other. It’s stupid to think
It’s not “random” at all. This didn’t happen in a vacuum and shouldn’t be perceived that way.
I would like to know how you define “the past”. Because the CIA is still active, and I am hard presses to think that they are not involved in the same activities that they have been since their inception. My response was flippant, as any loss of a life is horrible, but the CIA has plenty of blood on its hands, and nefarious intent.
Declassified documnents reveal CIA has been sweeping up information on Americans
Not sure what this has to do particular example of the kind of dirty, hush-hush shit that goes down in international espionage… This is hardly the first time Russia tried shut someone up, and of course it’s not like the CIA doesn’t do the same; we’re not ignorant. It’s business as usual.
I was responding to the person who said the days of CIA coups and murder are “a thing of the past”. I provided information proving that it isn’t.

A CIA informant is probably a Russian citizen that’s passing secrets to the US.
Also, since you seem to enjoy a bit of whataboutism, you could replace “CIA” with “KBG” or “FSB”, and you’d still be right.

Nobody disagrees with this, although CIA would win in a “who has done the most bad” competition (which it isn’t)
Cheering on Russia is a pretty ugly look.
