"[..] Surely real CIA agents understand that."

I don't follow the argument that this makes the CIA implication less probable.

Surely all the spook agencies of any country understand that and yet it happened.

If something, we could ask ourselves "who's is arrogant enough to do something like that in a foreign country?"

I agree that it is an arrogant action, but the cost-benefit analysis doesnt add up.

North Korea just isn't that important. Seems to be connected to a top DPRK diplomat who is involved in the Trump meetings, but roughing up an embassy doesnt have any obvious benefit.

Which doesnt mean the CIA wasnt involved, but the comment you are replying to seems to be largely reacting to how curious this event seems.
