OOOOohhhh that’s their difference. I never really bothered to check. Did know the difference for CIA and FBI though, but this I somehow thought of less idk

If you want more info about some other Anglosphere countries and their comparable organizations, along with a healthy dose of “Wait what the hell are these governments doing”, the Five Eyes article on Wikipedia has a helpful table of its member states and their respective intelligence apparati.

Thanks. Yeah I got most of them down, but that just sort of slipped through some of the filters and I’ve just never given concious thought to the difference even though I’ve watched like idk a dozen shows in the previous year about MI5 and MI6 and whatnot. I’ve literally just ignored it. But then when I hear things like “the KSK” I have to look them up (Kommando Spezialkräfte) once in a while.
Now I’ve been watching Jack Ryan, then earlier this year was “The Agency” and then theres the very british “Slow Dogs” with Gary Oldman 9/10. I don’t only watch shows like that but sometimes when I get into a mood I watch all them at once . Currently I’m more into WWII British war stories but I’ve like seen all them from Colditz to Dunkirk
