I hope they stick around. But they need to be aware that people here will say what they really think even if it hurts their feelings, and they need to be able to argue back in turn, and live with dissent. I think they can and I think they will.

The CIA uses organisations like this to topple governments, and not to spread democracy or human rights as is claimed, but to preserve US hegemony. Did toppling Ukraine in 2014 lead to more human rights? Just the opposite.

If these organisations can avoid being the tools (witting or unwitting) of the CIA, I welcome their activity. Human rights are very important, and people stuck in oppressive regimes are human beings that deserve just as much rights as you and I do.
