Unpopular opinion: The CIA and state dept’s policies CAN and DO change between administrations.

While this doesn’t mean that they change drastically, some areas have changes.

From the Cuban thaw under Obama and reversal of it under Trump, to the Iran Deal, to Biden being pretty friendly to center left Latin American leaders compared to 70 years ago, things do change between administrations.

Like I literally saw people making up conspiracy theories that Biden installed Milei despite the fact that Biden has been friendly to Lula and Petro.

Like, good god, this ain’t the Cold War anymore and US foreign policy is not being run by the Dulles brothers. Not saying it is perfect but to think Biden/Blinken are like the Dulles bros is so dumb when there’s no evidence to suggest that Biden was trying to rig elections against center left leaders in Latin America.
