US behaving like a global mafia, says former CIA official Sipher
During a podcast appearance, ex-CIA agent John Sipher expressed that he feels "embarrassed and ashamed" regarding the United States' treatment of its partners. He noted that the current administration seems to think that "bullying and pushing people around and extorting them is the best way to get things." Sipher further remarked, "It’s almost like a mafia view of the world, the same approach Putin uses."
