What Toby Esterhase lamented about The Circus (MI-6) applies as well to the CIA: "... and the Circus has joined the Boy Scouts" he told George Smiley.
The Circus was gelded by the "Wise Men" who compiled a list of "proscribed activities" The Circus could no longer utilize in the course of its work. On this side of the pond, the CIA was emasculated similarly, first by the Church Commission, which effectively required the CIA to recruit squeaky-clean people -- effectively Boy Scouts -- in foreign lands while trying to penetrate sinister, evil organizations, and then later by the parade of narrow-but-like-minded morons from the Ivy League schools -- who all share the same geo-political view of the world -- and who, in turn, brought in the woke social justice warrior types by the boat load, with their preoccupations with gender balance, "diversity" for diversity's sake, and the usage of personal pronouns, elevating such nonsense over the quality of the intelligence they produce, fast-tracking under-qualified and inexperience people into positions they are not adequately prepared for or capable of handling, simply because they checked off the box for promotion of Left-handed Lesbian/Minorities into management positions. Whatever effectiveness that was extant after the Church Commission fettered the CIA was finished off by the emasculating tendencies of the hyper-political woke management teams that have taken over, at Langley, as well as other parts of the federal government executive branch.
it's so cool that CIA agents can play board games at work to sharpen their skills !
there can be no doubt that they are well-grounded in the harsh realities of our fallen world in order to advance our nations' interests and protect the homeland.
I'd watch "Inhumans of the CIA". Should be an easy video to make.
"manning (!)" LOL
Shouldn't Alexander Ma be put to death for treason?

Or so it seems to me ...
We may never recover from Obama and his minions infesting our agencies
