    Russia’s economy is better than before the SMO started. All media in the US and those of US-controled/couped countries are controlled by the CIA.

        At a minimum we can say that Russia has transitioned pretty well into a war economy. It is an economic transition that is going very nice for the working class. For a long time OSINT has shown nearly depleted reserves of equipment, but they have gone very light infantry. I think it is concerning they might eek out a pyrrhic victory. It is hard to say how much longer they can stretch what is left.

      The CIA wishes they were even a tenth as competent as you think they are.

      Go read any of the declassified reports of CIA activity, starting with the Church commission.

      Or the actual events of Benghazi.

      The truth is, the CIA is full of bumbling chucklefucks who have no clue if the actions they take will have the effect they want.

      They can do a lot of damage, but like you, they also tend to believe the Hollywood myth making.

      This belief doesn’t make them any more competent, but it does make them more reckless and dangerous.
