Maybe the CIA should try this. I heard their informants are having issues abroad.

Edit: why the downvotes? They admitted they are losing too many informants internationally.

You’re downvoted because anything construed as appearing negative towards the US is seen as defending China. Absurd, I know.

Every major power spies on everybody else, even their allies. People just feel extra gung-ho since all the Ukraine stuff started recently.

BTW: The CCP are extremely fucking bad. They are the biggest threat to global security we face by a very large margin, and are a bigger threat to our national security than anything we faced during the Cold War.

You may have missed my previous (entire history of) posts.

I have zero tolerance for any adversary of the United States.

Xi, Putin, Kim and any other authoritarian regimes are the enemies of democracy and global security. Fuck every single one of them and all of their friends. I do not see a path to friendship with China, Russia, or DPRK at least until their current regimes are gone.

What I said was that the CIA has probably done some crazy shit with balloons. An example might be extracting operators using weather balloons and big hooks on planes.

I would not put them past doing some less productive shit with balloons as well. Omelettes often require a number of eggs to end up broken.

Cheers!
