honestly why has the west been so autistic with CIA
it's obvious their targets aren't competent enough to actually deal with them. sure, stuff like the filipino city siege is surely gonna fail, but i think CIA knows. they're either gonna exterminate the city's infidels or it's actually some sort of puppet op by duterte, like erdogan w/ the coup attempt in turkey.
all this stuff started because US civilians went all nam-hippie and forced the military to withdraw before the region was stable enough. if we'd spent enough time in iraq- like we did in japan- i'm willing to bet it wouldn't be such a stuffshow
