Nope. Not going to do it.

Everyone spies. First rule of international relations.

Second rule? Everyone spies, but we don’t advertise who we’re spying on, because it’s everyone. And on or for nearly everything you can think of.

Some countries are better about narrowing the scope. Others scoop up massive amounts of information about foreigners. Still others turn that spying inwards to go after domestic threats as well as foreign ones (or claiming that the domestic threat is really a foreign one).
