Washington Post published an article on Wednesday titled “CIA veterans who monitored crackdowns abroad see troubling parallels in Trump’s handling of protests”, in which current and former US intelligence officials pointed out the similarity between the events in the US and the signs of decline or democratic regression they were trained to detect in other nations. Likewise, former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos tweeted on Tuesday that “It reminded me of what I reported on for years in the third world.”
