1. How is this different than when the Soviets built the US Embassy in Moscow that was never occupied because it was riddled with secret spy devices? This has been going on since Sun Tzu's day.
2. Why was Obama not better at taking what he learned from the spying and using it to the USA's advantage?
-PJ
Who said he wanted to use it to our advantage?
The governments of Russia and the US do not need to spy on each other any more.
No real military competition.
US is WIDE OPEN in terms of business or defense contractor spying. People can easily come to America, then can get a job and spy away. If 1st generation can’t get the job, the second can.
You certainly don’t need to sneak around taking photos any more - there’s google maps.
The militaries of the world have all been studying each other for years and pretty much know each other’s capabilities and tactics as much as they’re smart enough to admit what is in front of their face.
I think middle eastern militaries are very “familiar” with the US military right now and vice versa. The major powers all know each other’s capabilities rather well, been studying them for years.
The real spying that foreigners do in America is actually influencing elections and politicians. The real spying America does in foreign countries is not really spying; it’s the financial oligarchy, and all of its “tools”, like US intelligence, that are toppling governments to advance one world government. The people leading the US government itself - BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES - have no agenda other than that of the people they really work for, new world order, one world government.
And in toppling all these governments, they use NGOs to get control of the leaders of the target nation’s society. The NGOs don’t need to monitor the target people’s phones, please. They make friends with them, promise them they’ll have a wonderful life as a nwo minion, and the targets just start carrying out NWO’s agenda.
All this snooping machinery is to a) listen in on foreign calls to provide some fun and excitement to put into NIEs for whoever occupies the WH (so the machinery appears to have some vital purpose) and b) do real spy work on American citizens who would resist new world order so they can be marginalized or eliminated when the time comes and c) strike fear into the rest once the time comes so they continue to submit.
