The great "wisdom" of the CIA and State Department

While watching a documentary on the Vietnam War, it seems like many of the coups and interference by the U.S. helped lead to the conflict. Has there ever been a time when the State Department or CIA carried out a coup or interfered in another country's government and it actually led to a positive outcome?

Ho Cho Minh was a CIA product like just about every boogeyman we ever had. Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and on and on.
We screwed the Shah as well.

Correct me if I am wrong, but did the US coup in Ukraine lead to the war currently happening?

uh oh Rooster done, done it now. 
We didnt start a coup, and if we had any balls we would be giving Ukraine nukes and another trillion or so. Even without it they are literally days from strolling into Moscow.
Havent you been keeping up with the thread at the bottom of the page.

Positive outcome FOR WHOM? For the American people, no. For the MIC and Deep State, yes.

But never for the good of human lives or the budget of the USA.
