The White House will halt surveillance of U.S. allies, according to the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reflecting a major shift in policy.

The move comes in the wake of revelations that the U.S. has been spying on world leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and appears to include any surveillance of allied foreign leaders.

Stop spying on allies. Does that include us?

Only DUmmies and Huff-n-puffers are allies. You are a radical anarchist, fascist, tea-party enemy of civilization and blasphemer against the One. You get an implant which will transmit your thoughts directly to the NSA.

I wondering what Putin is going to pull out of his magical hat since he’s most likely on that 35 world leader list of eavesdropping. Some of these world leaders actually went to school and have identities.

everyone realizes that this royally effs up our standing in a lot of countries. We (the US) will not get the same access and where we were inside looking out at the Thailands and Uruguays of the world, we will now be along side them as non-serious players at least for as long Obama and the democrats are in charge.
I’m not talking parties but possible diplomatic, economic and military actions in the near future.
The only thing keeping up on a level higher than that nutbar toiletpaper hording marxist in Venezuela is the US military, but Obama is working on it. The American electorate has proven to be too unreliable for any foreign leader to depend on us again.
