I'm not doing any such thing, hence the phrasing of my comment.
Your comment seems to imply you think the most/all of the remit of the CIA is or should be invalid. That position doesn't contradict my comment in any way.
That is a rather different claim than saying that premptively pursuing ransomware gangs in other countries is outside what the relevant decision makers view as the remit of the CIA. To me it seems to clearly fall in-line with their historic actions (as long as the cyber ransomers are outside of the country.)
