CIA and military intelligence are in there and feeding the Ukrainians information.

…and their will be “advisors” for the new equipment.

The other day, upon the stair,
I saw the man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today;
I guess he's from the CIA


and Mad probably stole it from somewhere, but ever since then I figure the man - or woman - who wasn't there, is there somewhere. If they do their job well, you can't tell they did anything at all

I think that one may live in the crawlspace under my house....I could be wrong, it may be the FBI.

CIA typically, does not or at least should not be doing any work inside our borders. Who knows though...

Which agency favors Whoppers and leaves the wrappers in my garbage can? Can you answer me that? I wouldn't mind them living under my house so much, but I think that they have given my dog fleas....

which made me wonder if we pulled out a bunch of agents too. But I'm sure we're back in there big time now. Hopefully they are getting the jets and other stuff in there now. It was a shame it went public about the jets, cause it was probably in the works.

The CIA is typically everywhere that there is some kind of American interest abroad. I would imagine that all of that good intelligence that Ukraine has been getting on Russian forces came from them and the intelligence gathering agencies of other countries.

An article I read said the Russian spies were all over Ukraine before the war , so I imagine the West had plenty of them too.

I'd imagine there's a cell or two located in most of the secondary world powers that have even a tertiary connection to US interests.

I would not be surprised if there were, both under cover and not. Probably some of the people that have gone over there to fight are actually CIA or other intel agencies.
