All countries threaten, cajole, attempt to assert their own self-interest. No country publishes every cable/communication/message or effort that it makes in terms of asserting its own self-interest, especially if controversial.
It is not reasonable to expect a country to refrain from spying, colluding, threatening or keeping secrets.
The only things that are truly objectionable are illegal acts that are covered up or not punished, and I do not see many, if any, of those.
Manning deserves what he got, imo.
Couldn't agree more.
