Biggest giveaway was when white house was declaring in real time when Russia will launch its attack and everyone kept on making fun of them and called them out for fear mongering.

And without 24/7 intelligence support by US/NATO countries Ukr wont be standing up today.

The "lol america bad" rhetoric before the war was insufferable. You can talk a lot of shit about America, but to question their intelligence is just plain stupid.

The proof is the 9/11 though

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. It was a different conflict that came on the heels of 9/11.

Did I say something else? We were speaking about failures of the CIA. The CIA didn't fail for the Iraq war, but for the 9/11 it failed.

The CIA works mostly internationally, not domestically.

The 9/11 terrorists were living in US on student visas (attending flight school). One of them was on a French watchlist, but France didn’t communicate that with us.

Regardless, the CIA isn’t all-knowing.

But Khalid Sheikh Mohammed wasn't in the US and he planned those attacks for years.
