What happens behind the scenes when allied nations share intelligence… but don’t fully trust each other?
In this episode of Threat & Theory, Howard and Evan break down the hidden mechanics of intelligence-sharing between allies, from the Five Eyes alliance and NATO partnerships to the uncomfortable reality that even friendly nations protect secrets from each other.
Howard explains how trust, values, and shared interests shape global intelligence relationships — and why those relationships can fracture under political pressure. The conversation dives into the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal, Mossad’s penetration of Iran, NATO mistrust between Greece and Turkey, and the delicate balance between protecting sources and saving lives.
The episode also explores how intelligence can be used not only to inform… but to influence.
If you’ve ever wondered how intelligence partnerships really work behind closed doors, this episode pulls back the curtain.
