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.
