The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce Tuesday, citing an aim to bring the agency in line with U.S. President Donald Trump’s priorities, the Wall Street Journal reported.
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.
This is one of those where you can’t tell if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. 🤔

I’m thinking Mongolian rule would be an improvement
Trump shouldn’t be worried about Mexicans crossing his wall, he should be worried about the Mongolians! They’ve got horse archers 🐎 🏹
A fascist moving to take control over every branch of the US government is not a good thing.
Especially not something as powerful and far-reaching like the CIA.
The only silver lining I can see here is that Trump would fill the CIA with incompetence and it would kneecap their effectiveness.
