    Why stop fascists when you can enable them worldwide and locally that helps secure funding and work for you?

    Why would you not want to have more threats to encourage congress to fund your habits and slowly erode the rights of the Americans you claim to defend?

    The CIA started hating fascists due to the war effort but learned they had the same idea just different strategies.

      The CIA wasn’t around for WW2, that was the OSS and that agency was dissolved after the war.

      This is honestly the first time I’m wondering why, exactly, they got rid of it.

        While it wasn’t the CIA, the OSS was basically the WW2’s CIA, and then the OSS set up what became the CIA. The OSS also helped Operation Paperclip go into effect, escorting Nazis into the US Government and its allies.
