Re: @skelband
thing is, no other government spends even a tenth as much money on spies as the US does
also, very few governments are as jingoistic as the US one (it's a single developed country like that) and as such are more interested in spying on their own citizens and foreign diplomats, not the whole world and the dog
I can at least pretend that I can do something about it in my own country, I can do jack shit about what the US does
finally, a defence in form "but he's also been hitting me" is applicable in a sandbox, when you're a 6 years old, not a nation aspiring to the label of "superpower"
