Many of them felt ignored, gaslighted and unprotected by the Trump administration’s handling of the phenomenon, known colloquially as Havana syndrome. Burns, victims felt, was going to treat it like a real disease and, they hoped, get to the bottom of what some strongly believe is the result of a new weapon being wielded by Russian agents around the world.
But three years later, some of those same victims and their advocates say they are once again deeply frustrated by the CIA, which continues to assess that the strange illnesses are unlikely to be the work of a foreign actor. For some victims — some of whom are gravely injured — that is tantamount to a betrayal.
God damn I wish Russia did attack them and killed them instead of making me suffer by living with these crybabies. Back in my day spies would be shot and a star would be placed on the wall and we call it a day. None of this “boohoo my wittle head hurts!!”
I had Havana syndrome when I was in Santiago de Cuba, those mojitos must have been russian agents.
Archer has to infiltrate a top secret russian lab to find the technology they’re using. Barry finds out and destroys half the lab trying to stop Archer. When he eventually finds the right lab, it’s a kreiger clone working on the device, but he can’t get it to work because they got the idea from the reports of havana syndrome. Back in the US the agency finds out the CIA already know it’s just migraines but are playing up the threat for political reasons, and recall Archer.
Stinger shows the Kreiger clone is just temporarily standing in for actual Kreiger, who says something about it just being a hobby project when asked if trying to make the device counts as treason.
