Also I think we have plenty of evidence that these hare-brained Dr. Evil schemes are not the way major nation-states do their dirty work anymore (if they ever did.) If they want someone dead they send some guys to straight-up gun the target down one day as they walk out of their front door, like Russia has been doing in Spain recently, and like Israel has been doing everywhere for decades. If they want a bridge blown up they drop some of those same guys off with some C4 and blow it up. It all has a much greater chance of achieving the same effect reliably and is still entirely plausibly deniable. "We didn't blow up your bridge, don't know anything about that. And even if we did what are you gonna do about it. Bitch"
