  1. The fact that he mentioned the DGSE proved me that he know what he's talking about, at first glance i thought he was a bit of a scammer because it's very rare to see former intelligence talking about their craft.

  2.  @Stevonater  i agree but this is still rare that they'd go in so much details, and it's really great to learn more about that worlds

  3.  @surgeon9039  No they are not, In fact they are some of the most well connected in certain parts of the world, sure they can't rival with the Americans, but in the middle east, even the CIA relied on the DGSE for a lot of operations, same thing for Africa. You never hear about them, which is a sign they are doing their jobs well. They also have very singular capabilities, for example unlike many who relies on SF for cover operations. The DGSE has it's own in house Special Forces, that only belong to them and them only, the training is very rigorous, more than 3 year, and they only recruit from the most elite special forces group in France. They are also very strong in the economic intelligence business. Obviously any agency out there French included is less capable than the US/Russian/Chinese, but they are far from soggy.
