Diplomats won't be surprised at "the level of spying". Not at all. It's not spying. It's called fucking diplomacy. It's what diplomats fucking do. For every country on the globe. They engage with other diplomats then report back to their government their unvarnished views on their interactions so their governments can make judgments on how to engage with those other countries.Dilbert_X wrote:
Quite probably, especially at the UN and between countries other than the US if the level of spying is to be believed.
And you don't think that is standard practice worldwide? Lol.Dilbert_X wrote:
I'm talking about Hilary Clinton's instructions to spy on allies and enemies alike, bug calls, gather passwords, biometric data and so on.
Understand now?
Its not normal diplomacy, if it were the US wouldn't expect their diplomatic cables would remain secret.JohnG@lt wrote:

Yes. It is. For fuck sake, Dilbert. It fucking is. That is the whole fucking point here.Dilbert_X wrote:

Please provide an example of Britain or Australia spying on the US then.
Why don't you request that your government unclassify it's diplomatic cables then? I'm sure everything is on the up and up.Dilbert_X wrote:
So in the last hundred years or so, you can't find a single example, while the US is spying on anyone and everyone (and Israel is merrily spying on its only ally - the US).
What is it you think diplomacy is? Making nice and chatting over tea? That's maybe 1/10th of it.Dilbert_X wrote:
Again, I'm talking about spying, not normal diplomatic activity.
Sounds like intelligence gathering to me.Dilbert_X wrote:
Normal diplomatic activity includes intelligence gathering.
It does not include bugging phones, stealing encryption keys etc, that is spying.
