Ah, nice. CIA doing what they do best: adding fuel to the fire and spreading mistrust

When it comes to rogue nuclear states, having spies is a generally a good thing. Helps us plan for contingencies.
Announcing the intention to spy is probably not a good idea though.

I'd guess they're either advertising to possible dissenters, or sowing distrust.

Or maybe they're saying it out loud to mess with Putin - because how can he trust anyone now?
