Another example of power resides where men believe it resides.

Americans are just very scared of Mossad. Tons of money goes into Holywood to make them appear invincible to the world. Fun fact, they aren't.

Intelligence agencies have great capabilities no doubt they get billions of $$$ and have utter immunity to do whatever they want in the name of national security. Why is only Mossad scary? I'd be more scared of the CIA and KGB than of Mossad.

US has never been in existential threat like Israel has been, if it were I wouldn't want to stand in their way.



> Americans are just very scared of Mossad. Tons of money goes into Holywood to make them appear invincible to the world.

I don't believe I've ever seen Mossad depicted in a Hollywood movie? I guess there was Munich. Are there specific movies/TV shows that you're thinking of?

Americans, by and large, don't even think about Mossad. Certainly not the way they're aware of the CIA and KGB - which no one should be scared of at the moment since it hasn't existed since 1991, though obviously there are modern successors.


> Are there specific movies/TV shows that you're thinking of?

Not GP, but NCIS is the big one offhand. Of course that show has simply gotten more and more ridiculous on general over the years
