OOOOohhhh that’s their difference. I never really bothered to check. Did know the difference for CIA and FBI though, but this I somehow thought of less idk
If you want more info about some other Anglosphere countries and their comparable organizations, along with a healthy dose of “Wait what the hell are these governments doing”, the Five Eyes article on Wikipedia has a helpful table of its member states and their respective intelligence apparati.
Thanks. Yeah I got most of them down, but that just sort of slipped through some of the filters and I’ve just never given concious thought to the difference even though I’ve watched like idk a dozen shows in the previous year about MI5 and MI6 and whatnot. I’ve literally just ignored it. But then when I hear things like “the KSK” I have to look them up (Kommando Spezialkräfte) once in a while.
Now I’ve been watching Jack Ryan, then earlier this year was “The Agency” and then theres the very british “Slow Horses” with Gary Oldman 9/10. I don’t only watch shows like that but sometimes when I get into a mood I watch all them at once . Currently I’m more into WWII British war stories but I’ve like seen all them from Colditz to Dunkirk
When I heard about the targeted moves against the FBI by DOGE, I got to thinking that the FBI is not the sort of organization you want to anger if you have skeletons in your closet. And even if you don’t, they’ll put one there to find.
But I’m worried we’re already at the point where the entire agency can be discredited (not entirely undeservedly) just because President Cheeto and Supreme President Musk could label any findings as “fake news” and the majority of Americans would take it as fact.
They could be the SA to whatever SS the Trump admin wants to replace them with (the Proud Boys?)
Yeah, this meme is just a glimpse at my external view of the events. To me the CIA, the FBI and those kind of agencies are just lumped together. Appreciated the info tho
I mean, that nice and all but it’s just flat out nonsense. That’s not how the two alphabet agencies operate. It’s not a “vibes” based matter of opinion… Understanding how things actually work matters.
oh, I’m sorry I don’t know the intricacies of a country I don’t reside in. I hope I haven’t triggered you with my ignorance. Don’t want ya popping a blood vessel

Lmao I love it when someone gets mad on the internet and immediately starts accusing everyone else of being mad. You’re projecting on more screens than a Marvel movie right now.
Do I sound mad? I think you’re the one projecting. I’m just worrying about you. Maybe you’d take a small break and drink some water. Can I suppose you’re American? If so, I’m sorry your school system hasn’t been able to teach you about perspective.
Just to nitpick, the CIA is more the “topple governments” organization.
I am sure the FBI is involved, but their operations are primarily internal affairs. It’s like MI5 and MI6 in the UK.

edit dogs -> horses
The CIA topples foreign governments.
The FBI topples progressive movements within the US.
Tbf they also target white supremacist organisations within the US.
Targeted.
They did not seem to be very effective when it came to white supremicists…
By targeted, they meant “targeted for recruitment”
Do you mean to be fair?
Yeah…and they’re being threatened too.
I wonder if they’d ever consider the White House to be a foreign government to topple.

Didn’t a black church get the rights to that name? 🤣

FBI = domestic
CIA = foreign
MIB = Intergalactic
Pretty sure it’s just interstellar. Or did they ever mention other galaxies?
We’re in a galaxy marble, mate, how could there be any others?

That’s about as clever a response as I’d expect from someone that doesn’t understand what the FBI does.
