    There are lots of good reasons to get rid of the CIA. They aren’t outweighed by the fact that Russia, China and other world powers have their own foreign intelligence services and without a CIA to do anything about them, Americans are well and truly fucked. Fucking Mongolia could infiltrate the U.S. without a foreign intelligence service.

    You will not find me praising the CIA any more than you will find me praising the FSB. But the FSB will still be there if the CIA is gone and they will see that as a big opportunity.

    As with most things, it’s not a black-and-white issue.

      Trump shouldn’t be worried about Mexicans crossing his wall, he should be worried about the Mongolians! They’ve got horse archers 🐎 🏹
