You really do border on the verge of silliness sometimes Sanguinemoon. We know every country does spying but to say that our lot are worse than yours is so utterly laughable. No-one has as many spy organisations as you nor spends so much public proportionally as you. Goodness, manage you going away from your country being No 1 in everything! You have more internal spying lots than Nazi Germany had or the old USSR (oh, and the USSR is gone just in case you didn't know). Indeed it was completely laughable that a year or so ago the poor old USA was complaining to China that it was spying via the Internet on them from a military high rise. How imbecilic that one is as you are doing th exact same thing. I doubt if any country can beat you on this one so happy to concede that No 1. All in the nature of "defence, or "security" or "American interests."
It took your country an awful long time to get where it presently is but Russia is doing it quicker in all spheres. For all the guff you lot dish out at Russia you only avoid any close looks at your own failings on democracy the rights of people and the way they are treated. A so-called democracy that runs a million strong military it cannot afford to control the world in it's image, ruled by Wall Street, tens of millions of poor locally and rights being misused you lot have a nerve to talk about Putin. The popularity of Putin compared to your own president is something else for a republic that always bums about itself. I can give you one assurance and that is sanctions and stupidity will not take Russia out of the global situation indeed far from it.
