“Germany was “going to jeopardize” collaborative intelligence efforts ‘over this alleged incident.’”
No this is in response to Obama’s unfettered penchant to diss all of the US friends - the Germans detest our POTUS and we will find other countries following suit. Obama has fundamentally changed the US - to a third world mentality. We voluntarily gave away the world leader role - now watch everyone pile on!!!
Germany, France, NATO are all on the outside of true intelligence sharing with the US. The real insiders intelligence club was forged in two world wars and membership is limited by a common culture, language, and a common approach to freedom. The has not been a war among members of this club for 200 years. It is a closed club that is not accepting new members. The Germans, the French and the rest are somewhat jealous.
