There’s a difference between private diplomacy and systemic government corruption hidden by unjustified confidentiality.
There are real examples here of government corruption. Instead of trying to deflect the conversation with vague hand-waving, why not talk about the corruption?
I don’t really think of most of those things you posted as corruption. Lies and tricks, but not a case of stolen monies. If you look through any war, you’ll find nasty tricks kept out of sight. We’re fighting a war, some that fighting takes place in the shadows.
