Historically, whenever civil war suddenly breaks out in any country (not just in the middle east), it's the CIA 9 times out of 10

That may not be wrong historically.

But the CIA had what interest exactly in toppling the US-supported authoritarian regimes in the Middle East with the "Arab Spring" in 2011?

it’s wrong historically. the CIA was never good at that stuff

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

No, it isn’t. The CIA are not good at statecraft. The FSB/GRU and formerly the KGB were great at that stuff. The CIA “won” the cold war because the CCCP was incompetent not because America was good at anything.
