The latest Pentagon leak, part of a string of high-profile leaks in recent years, highlights the vulnerabilities of American spy gathering operations and could expedite a global shift away from the U.S., political analyst Eric Ham writes in his latest column for CTVNews.ca.
Three individuals tasked with safeguarding the most sensitive and highest classification of U.S. military secrets. Each, a part of the military industrial complex projecting U.S. strength and power around the world. Yet, each one of them disregarded their sacred oath and duty to protect their nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they themselves became the enemy.
Moreover, since the Snowden and Manning sagas, this latest leak makes clear, little if any protections have been established to eliminate the unauthorized release of such highly classified information. No doubt, rattling the confidence of friends and allies that the U.S. can keep and maintain sensitive information.
Macron’s comments only fuel the speculation of potential change in a rapidly altering environment that continues to cause unease and consternation. Carvin states: "That means we are potentially less safe. [Canada is] heavily dependent on the U.S. for our intelligence collection, it would mean that we could no longer have access to that reporting if the U.S. is effectively cut off."
