American intelligence is a joke, Zhihu.

As the largest and most comprehensive intelligence agency in the United States, the CIA's own intelligence network has developed very rapidly and is also very huge. Generally speaking, it takes a lot of money to develop intelligence networks and collect information, and the CIA never seems to lack funds. However, we didn't see the CIA-related funding in various financial information leaked by the US government. The reason is actually very simple. The first is the secret appropriation, which is the secret expenditure of the US government, but it is only a small part. Secondly, the source is the drug trafficking network of the CIA. As the largest intelligence agency in the world, the CIA actually controls a very large drug trafficking network and obtains huge funds from drug trafficking. Finally, there are all kinds of money laundering crimes. In fact, we can see from many movies that the CIA is not completely controlled by the US government, at least secretly controlled.

The first is the secret appropriation, which is the secret expenditure of the US government, but it is only a small part. In fact, the various expenses of the CIA are very large, so the secret funding of the government is basically a drop in the bucket and cannot be sufficient. So in fact, there are other very illegal channels for the CIA's financial resources. Although no one on the surface admits it, it must be so.

Secondly, the source is the drug trafficking network of the CIA. As the largest intelligence agency in the world, the CIA actually controls a very large drug trafficking network and obtains huge funds from drug trafficking. The reason why I infer this is that I only look at Afghanistan. After the US military entered Afghanistan, Afghanistan has become the largest producer of * * *. Are so many * * * created by the Taliban? Obviously impossible, Afghan civilians can make guns, but they can't play with this chemical. So the biggest possibility is the United States. It is absolutely impossible for American soldiers to do such a thing, so only the CIA is really suspected.

Finally, there are all kinds of money laundering crimes. In fact, we can see from many movies that the CIA is not completely controlled by the US government, at least secretly controlled. Moreover, the CIA is not only the largest drug trafficking network in the world, but also the largest money laundering network in the world, so for the CIA, the source of funds is very sufficient. With these funds, the CIA continued to build its own intelligence network, thus obtaining more funds.
