As you recently said, I "vigorously disagree".
Dude is literally a CIA/McKinsey operative. Do you also think that corrupt corporatists Neera Tanden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are also excellent?
Can you fill me in on the info about Pete being a CIA operative?
He was a McKinsey operative that was sent to Afghanistan for reasons that just so happens to also be a high ranking member of the Air Force. It’s basically impossible that he WASN’T working with the CIA when he was sent to Afghanistan as a military-affiliated McKinsey representative.
If you’re still confused or doubtful about this connection, you should know that CIA agents aren’t always getting into gun fights and car chases like in movies. They are also part of setting up puppet governments like Afghanistan and assassinating rulers who won’t play ball.
Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman to find out what CIA does around the world in partnership with the world bank and a cadre of US corporations.
I’m failing to see a problem with any of that.
If you fail to see a problem with the US meddling with political violence, setting up puppet governments around the world, quashing populist movements, you have absolutely no moral compass much like CIA agent Pete Buttigieg.
I think you either have unrealistic expectations, a lack of understanding of history, a lack of understanding of how the US economy has worked for 80 years, or possibly all of the above.
I think you are utterly programmed, insipid, and morally bankrupt.
The only way you wouldn’t have a problem with any of this is if you literally work as a government contractor, making weapons that liquify innocent children.
Have a great day tech bro. Karma is a real thing.
