In my cynical worldview, EVERY nation runs psy-ops, intel ops, and tries to bribe and/or assassinate politicians in nearly every other government on earth. The American CIA does is, as does MOSSAD, as does all European and Russian governments. Tell me something I don't know. Spying, secret codes, false flags, turning agents, double agents... even our revered George Washington had his intelligence and spy network, if you know anything about the Culper spy ring in the Revolutionary War.
What is surprising is that you seem to think this is unusual, or somehow "ungentlemanly" and unheard of, when in fact it is one of the oldest forms of warfare and diplomacy, and that grey middle ground in between.

Yet, you support an "ally" that basically runs/ruins your country? Are you MIGA or MAGA?
This "conversation" is over. I don't suffer fools gladly.
MIGA it is.
Like I said, I'm not going to engage fools.
