@[email protected] I don’t have better sources on the repercussions of the aldritch ames incident on me, but while the youtube video talks about the CIA comms failure it does touch on the aldritch ames indicent at the start.
It’s obvious they don’t trust any of the Chinese Americans
That’s why they can’t spy on China anymore.
The golden rule of espionage is that your enemy is gonna spy on you as well. So it’s incumbent on you to go on the offensive and spy even harder.
The kind of person who can spy on China or, say, the Soviet Union speaks the local language, and has economic and political ties with local assets. Both the spy and the assets are gonna play a double game if for no other reason than the fact that they can make more money that way.
The US played that game well all throught the Cold War. And it chose to lose the capability to do so after the Aldritch Ames Incident. The americans have gone on the defensive, and are more focused on ensuring the enemy can’t spy on them at all. As a result the espionage officers can’t be perfect for the job - hiring a well connected person is too much of a risk - and the espionage assets aren’t hired in the first place. What CIA agents the US had abroad were legacy agents from a more daring time. And all those guys were purged when the Iranians found a security breach in the american intelligence networks, got the informants’ names and sent the list to Russia and China.
good news, and also probably if my immediate circles is any indication people are paranoid enough to take their own pills
so the original balloon meme wasn’t humiliating enough, they are doing it once again
wait, australia also has ‘lord mayors’?
how did that happen
Not just the housing problem, social mobility as well.
By ‘defending it’ abroad, of course. Don’t know about Australia, but I always hear about US army recruitment favoring impoverished households and school districts.
How are peasants supposed to compete with aristocrats?
Become a mercenary and knighted somehow.
yes but have you considered that if you don’t vote for biden trump might do the exact same things? checkmate tankies
when did brazil take a bite out of west africa
oh no not the fans
nothing irrational about this happiness
that’s a healthy way to distrust the US and chinese governments i guess
people could leverage PTRs to towards early firsts, this is such nonsense lmao
don’t tell them this but they could have looked for sparse vegetation and dug in the sand nearby and waited for water to trickle in but the bullshit they pulled off was very cool
this is like when france says they still have influence in africa, and then point to the former british colony of nigeria as evidence
