I don’t think that’s true at all. Most of us know sketchy shit happens with intelligence agencies, the rest would say we don’t do it, but if we did it would be for a good reason, and if it wasn’t for a good reason it’s being blown out of proportion
Pretty sure most americans absolutely are aware of US intelligence agencies and the kind of work they do - they’re pretty infamous. At worst, most americans think that its justified for the intelligence agencies to be doing shit like this, which is a fair debate point. But nah, come on, “most americans aren’t aware spies are doing spy shit” hell there’s so many terrible movies glorifying this exact behavior.
Superpowers play bullshit games with their intelligence agencies - this doesn’t seem like particularly novel behavior for either side…
most americans don’t believe that the united states engages in this sort of behavior, so this is news.
