A) Labour is much cheaper in Russia than the US.

B) What foreign languages do you speak relatively fluently?

C) Do those foreign languages match to countries where elections have consequences AND the US has a vested interest in destabilizing them?

D) If the answer to C was yes, really? Where?

OP thinks you should be scrolling on Indeed and see

Do you enjoy shitposting on the internet all day? Join the CIA and you can get paid to shitpost in our many psychological warfare operations. From attacking leftist causes and amplifying corporate shills in political races, to discrediting climate science and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the Middle East, there is no limit to what you could accomplish with the CIA.

Ahaha, that's great! Only thing missing is a specific list of countries they CIA intends to destabilize.

You can find that list here:

Haha, you'd think so, but this is why my link doesn't paint the full picture: The majority of our reserves up here are in the oil sands which are lot a lot more expensive to extract which makes them considerably less desirable.
