And remember - the CIA is famous for all its failed operations. The leaders we failed to kill, the countries we failed to overthrow.

The ones who did get overthrown and killed? Mmmmm. Never happened, of course.

Plenty would be worse off without the US. If China or Russia could wield the same power we'd likely be much worse off.

Vietnam or Afghanistan, which was worse! Find out in "random acts of imperialism battle." Some day Ukraine might have 1/10th the deaths of either of those.

The KGB did wield similar power, and together the CIA and KGB overthrew many democracies and killed a whole lot of people, directly and indirectly.
