Germany asks top U.S. Spy to leave

[Spidey Man]

Germany took the dramatic step Thursday of asking the top U.S. intelligence official in Berlin to leave the country, following two reported cases of suspected U.S. spying and the yearlong spat over eavesdropping by theNational Security Agency.

The move reflects growing impatience in Germany at what is perceived as U.S. nonchalance about being caught spying on a close ally.

“The representative of the U.S. intelligence services at the United States embassy has been asked to leave Germany,” government spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement.

“The request occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing investigation byfederal prosecutors as well as the questions that were posed months ago about the activities of U.S. intelligence agencies in Germany,” he said. “The government takes the matter very seriously.”

They talk tough now, but if Putin sneezes in Germany's direction, watch them take the bass out their voice.

Germany complains a lot and contributes very little

They do a lot, but for China. Most of the Chinese navy is powered by German engines. The French are almost as bad as Germany in that regard

Precisely.

This is just a PR move.

They knew we were spying.

France is probably worse.

They play both sides like a motherfukker.

Selling nuclear tech to Iraq.

Selling yellowcake around the world via Niger

Making russian ships

Let's be honest for a second : it's the US' fault (or the NSA at least).

If Americans weren't scheming that much, spying, bugging telephones, watching internet like they do, this would never happen. We need to remember that Merkel's own phone was tapped by the NSA. Imagine if Obama's was, what would be the US' reaction ? So the move is obvious and it's both a PR move and a way to tell the US to GTFO because they are doing too much. We all spy on each other obviously but the US been ODing on it for too long and they need some reality checks from time to time (even if they are petty).

And lol at Europeans being scared of Putin. Putin need us as much as we need him.

Too bad. Only nations who don't run shyt don't spy

I have no problem with the USA's foreign intel efforts

We need to remember that Merkel's own phone was tapped by the NSA.

So why did Germany make it so easy to do?

Imagine if Obama's was, what would be the US' reaction ?

Hypocritical indignation...and rightfully so.

Why should the same rules apply to everyone who isn't us?

So the move is obvious and it's both a PR move and a way to tell the US to GTFO because they are doing too much. We all spy on each other obviously but the US been ODing on it for too long and they need some reality checks from time to time (even if they are petty).

Meh

And lol at Europeans being scared of Putin. Putin need us as much as we need him

Putin could yank up gas prices tomorrow and break entire nations. Don't play.
