Whats more, they spied on other EU governments and even on their own government for the US.

I mean this is Warsaw/USSR level of over reach.

Remember not long ago we were appalled that we found out that Stasi kept records on people in Germany/Berlin? It seemed so appalling and impossible to understand for our liberal western mind.

Yet then NSA leaks came out doing just that - we cared very little. Now we have a case where the US pretty much runs intelligence of certain EU members. If they do that, what else do they run?

Everyone spies on everyone both foreign and domestic. To think otherwise is incredibly naive.

oh and put that 3rd biscuit down, you've had 2 already....

I just find it funny how we went from 'Look at USSR/East Germany, how did they live being watched daily by the KGB - OH THE HORROR' to now just saying 'and? Yeah I know, its fine, everyone watches us'. I still see old documentaries about cold war period where people talk about KGB watching your every move and how awful it felt for people. How happy they are that this is no longer the case.

At this rate one day we will be OK with a Gulag and sending out ethnic minorities out of their land.
