Well they goofed on “Tomorrow Never Dies” then.

You watch that movie and just try to tell me it’s not a completely believeable portrait of our own corrupt media!

“Carver Media Group-Tomorrow’s News Today”

They created tomorrow’s news by sending a remote controlled drill to penetrate the hull of a Russian submarine. They did this in the South China Sea in order to trigger a war that they would then cover.

Our media does things like this by egging on rioters, shaping public opinion to build hysteria.

Carver Media Group=CNN or any other alphabet noozgroup

“The Living Daylights, the Muslim Mujahedeen appear, but as heroes and allies in the fight against the Soviets.) “

This is not disconnected from reality, unfortunately.

For the that movie I consider Koskov to be the “main” villain (over Whitaker), the only one to survive the end of a Bond film.

“In The World is Not Enough, it is Renard Zokas and Electra King (a businesswomen), who are the villains.”

Electra was the villain, the poorly realized character of Renard was nothing more than glorified mook.

It always bothered me how LTK (”Isthmus” instead of Panama) and LALD (”San Monique” instead of Jamaica) used fake countries.

The US trained and funded the Mujahedeen, yes. That’s 100% truth. I remember reading about them back then in “Soldier Of Fortune” magazine and thinking they were the b@lls.

They were the enemy of our enemy and they were beating them - revenge for Vietnam.

Many of the villains could have made a bigger profit at less risk by going straight. In You Only Live Twice,Blofeld has a reusable spacecraft that can easily retrieve a Gemini spacecraft from orbit, while in Moonraker, Drax has used a fleet of Space Shuttles to build a Space station that is not only several times bigger than the one we currently have, but rotates for artificial gravity. The people who write the scripts have no idea how a free market works
