The Venezuelan government said Monday night that they had foiled a Trump administration-backed plot to stage a “false flag” attack on a U.S. warship currently stationed just off its shore, The Independent reported Tuesday.Yvan Gil Pinto, the Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs, said in a statemen...
Don’t know if it’s true, but if it is, kinda funny that Trump’s CIA has been outsmarted by Venezuela.
South Americans broadly have been dealing with the CIA for a long time. Even the Romans knew not to fight the same people too many times because they’ll get hip to your fighting style and they’ll eventually beat you at your own game.
Yeah it’s a big claim, would be cool to eventually see evidence it was true but I’m not sure how they’d ever be able to prove it. I doubt anyone gets a wire transfer that just says it’s from the CIA
Hey man, DOGE cut us to the bone, there’s only 3 interns and a middle manager left
What exactly is funny? Do you have reasons to believe that the Venezuelan counter-spy bureau is ineffective? Or you’re just a USA chauvinist who thinks that everything Venezuelan is shittier than US-ian just because?
Venuzuelan budget: $22bn
CIA budget: $15bn
When a single intelligence agency’s budget is comparable to an entire country’s, it’s reasonable to assume that agency will be able to persevere in almost any contest.
One trashcan for cia - 10000$ One trashcan for venezuela - idk maybe 10$?
They’ve also had decades of experience to back them up. They’re not just a newly spun-up agency who’s been given a multi-billion dollar budget.
That being said, South America in general has contended with CIA interference for decades. It’s not unreasonable to think they’ve grown wise to their playbook.
The situation, no, and no. Calm down.
Venezuelan agency budget, ~$200 million. CIA - 78 billion. When your budget is 365 times as much, I could understand why you’d think they would be more sophisticated.
Size, budget, experience and economic stability favors the Americans. Fuck the CIA anyway.
