Interesting commentary on the video: https://x.com/sumlenny/status/1749870142547255525

What if they revise and re-issue the video based on the comments?

The alternate titles suggested are also interesting:

“ A good wording could be: Почему я обратился в ЦРУ Почему я вышел на ЦРУ Почему я начал работать с ЦРУ Почему я написал ЦРУ Почему я пошел к ЦРУ (not "в ЦРУ", as the latter is for cadets who start their work for the agency) or even Почему я выбрал ЦРУ”

From Google translate:

“ A good wording could be: Why I turned to the CIA Why did I contact the CIA? Why I started working with the CIA Why did I write to the CIA Why did I go to the CIA (not ‘to the CIA’, as the latter is for cadets who start their work for the agency) or even Why I chose the CIA”



Reaction: The last set of Russians recruited by the CIA all stopped reporting via their @spies.ru.cia.gov Office 365 accounts - oddly at almost the same time - so it looks like we need to recruit another batch...


CIA contact software is famous for exposing whole clades of agents worldwide.

True...though my impression is that the CIA's "foreign spies are expendable" attitude and sh*tshow-grade OpSec date back to the 1940's.


Lol. Can you imagine the ridicule a “join the KGB” video would get in the US if Russia produced one?



Wow thats out of this world.
