But usually, things like this are kept low-key, and handled through back-channels, without making a big public fuss.
Why, all of the sudden, are the Germans not only rooting out U.S. Spies, but making a very public case about it, as well?? More importantly, where is the info Germany is getting about US spies coming from?
I hate the Germans
Oh STFU. Bunch-O-Hypocrites.
How many of your spies operate in the US and around the world.
You Nazis ain’t friggin angels....
Our foreign behavior and policies continue to alienate America from her allies. The destruction is unabated by the Congress....and in other news...
What is there to spy on in Germany?
“Ve don’t like your cowboy President Bush. Ve vant Obama.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Obama crapped in their kuchen and told them it was chocolate. Wait ‘til he gives them his bratwurst.
Ask yourself, who is the most famous American residing in Moscow? Angela's pissed about her cell phone.
Sunshine is a good thing.
Probably because the information U.S. spies get is aiding the muslim terrorists!
Embrace the suck.
The American problem might be that the common German people see Putin much more as a friend than his US-colleagues in the meantime. You guys are not the good ones anymore on our side of the big pond. There is a basic turnaround in the public opinion.
The problem goes deeper. We are not only speaking about Germany. In almost all European countries this mood is the same. Even the Poles, the once staunchest American advocates seem to have understood that the Americans are not necessarily our friends.

Obama is only the tip of the iceberg. This started a long time ago. The transatlantic friendship with all its economic and political benefits is a exclusive project of elites in the meantime. That was quite different in the past (WWII, Marshallplan, Kennedy as a “Berliner”, Berin airlift, Reagan at the Berlin Gate, NATO Double-Track Decision etc.). During the last decade America lost its aura of being a good hegemon in the European society completely. Therefore many important things could be in danger soon. Something very dangerous happened.
There are difficult times to come. Therefore even such strong nations like the US need its friends. Think about it. Silly insulting trough spying is for sure contraproductive.
