How CIA Takes Down a Dictator (The Maduro Operation Explained)
"I don't believe that they're sharing all their information with each other. Right? They share a little bit when they're asked, maybe. But it's not like they're sharing everything. It's not like they're sharing an abundance of information. The lack of commitment just wastes everyone's time and makes everyone less secure. It gives Russia everything it wants. It gives America everything it wants because you guys can't make a decision, which only hurts you."
A former CIA operative criticized European Union intelligence cooperation, stating that while France's DGSE, Germany's BND, and Polish intelligence are individually strong, they fail to share critical information with each other. He argued that Europe's inability to decide between sovereignty and collective security wastes resources and benefits adversaries like Russia and the United States at Europe's expense.
