US ambassador to Germany hauled over the coals over Merkel spying allegations

I'm surprised that she's surprised that the spying was going on. Still. Maybe it's all a ruse to get people talking about something other than the economy. /sarcasm

She does not want the German people to know just how much time she spends playing Fruit Ninja.

I find it pathetic when the weak who is weak by his own guilt, demands the strong who is strong by his own responsibility, not to act strongly but weakly instead.

It may be seen as a wake-up call for always appeasing and always outsitting-things Merkel. I just doubt that she means her gesture serious, and that any substantial consequences will come from this - either from the American or the German or EUSSR side. Obama has not much more than just a minor interest for EUSSR anyway, if any at all. And the US must not see any reason to change its doings. Just to hide them better. EUSSR on the other hand has no tools and means in available to chnage the global infrastructure and lock out the Americans within the forseeable timeframe. Nor does it have the spine and the determination. Nor the money.

The sin of the EUSSR in this all has been done 20 and 30 years earlier - when European nations allowed the Americans to get strategic supremacy in these fields of building the internet and communication networks without forming up any relevant infrastructure by its own that aimed at trying to compete and to equalize this strategic advantage.

Especially the Germans are very good in giving up industrial and economic key infrastructure and competence for nothing. Well. We therefore get what we deserve: nothing. That is true for so many different themes and issues. Damn German romanticism. I'm sick and tired of this mental desease. I prefer anglosaxon rationality and sense for reality any time. The Brits formed up conceptions of liberalism, self-responsible humanism and freedom. Our response: protestant brainwashing to submit to and obey the state's superior authority, and socialist utopism. Great. :dead:

We call it the North American Free Trade Agreement here.
It pretty much shut factories down in the blink of an eye and moved them south of the Rio Grande.

So Germany doesn't hold the market share of 'WTH were you thinking' types.
:nope:

I do wish you would make your mind up, I thought you said it was a secret Islamic theocracy and a club of the commercial and political elites, not a workers socialist council.
If you are going to throw in these crazy theories at least pick one and stick to it instead of using multiple contradictory ones:doh:

The Secret Islamic Theocracy and Commercial and Political Elites are busy this weekend.
Press 1 for English and we will be sure to connect you to someone that does not speak English very well.
:D

Sad thing is I have spoken to people on the phone who are clearly from India and they speak better English than most of the Americans at American call centers do.Of course in India a call center is a middle class job in the US such a job is bottom market 90% of the time.

"You no spy on me U.S.? I KELL YOU!"

Why do you think we consider Germany our ally? Because we monitor them! :yep:

Trust but verify. :up:

This is what nations do. It would be irresponsible to do otherwise.

Not sure if monitoring her private mobile phone is necessary for this. It is simply illegal, that's what it is.
I wonder why anyone is interested in that hags privacy anyways. Terrible chancellor :nope:
