Germany Accuses America of Spying

Allegations by the German Government show that United States Intelligence may have targeted Chancellor Angela Merkel's of Germany’s cellphone. This is just after there were allegations that the National Security Agency was spying on American citizens through their phone and emails. This is just another thing where we could lose trust of another ally and that could just lead to more and more problems over time.

 

            Here we go again. Another scandal that will be denied and denied by the American government. Who knows maybe we were spying on her phone but there are many more questions than if they really did bug her cellphone. Why would they do such a thing? Is there suspicion of something vital going on in the country of Germany? These are some things that need to be asked during this investigation. Through all of the troubles that the United States has gone through over these last couple of weeks, it doesn’t seem possible that we could or would do something like this. But who knows. It never surprises me when these types of stories come up in the news. What people do not realize is that this probably happens all of the time. We just don’t hear about it every day like with this story. And America is definitely not the only one doing this to other nations.

 

            The reason we are hearing about this in the news is because Germany and the United States are allies. With this it just creates tension with a country that we don’t need. If this did happen what was the reason? There had to be one. According to Fox News, one official from Germany said, “One official said this kind of treatment usually is reserved for Syria and Iran.” This is very true. You would expect this type of behavior in more corrupt nations like Iran and Syria but like I said earlier it happens everywhere all around the world. This is nothing new!

 

            With the United States being under so much pressure not only from other countries but from their own people, the United States doesn’t need a new conflict with another country. Especially with an ally like Germany. We don’t need another fight and more conflict that could hurt the credibility of the United States any more than it already is. It doesn’t make any sense why the CIA or FBI would do something like this but if they did they better have one hell of a good answer and reason for doing such a thing.
