It's definitely not 'extra-legal'.
Espionage against a country that has 1000 nuclear warheads pointed at you, and practices using them, is a very responsible thing to do, and very much sanctioned by government.
- Nanocurrency 7y agoWow, you're dumb as a rock. We need less people like you.
- RomanBob 7y agoWell then by your logic, spying on US citizens by the US government is perfectly fine, since it would count at 'espionage against a country that has 10,000 nukes, used it a couple of times to incinerate a few 100ks people, and is very much sanctioned by government".
- sonnyblarney 7y agoNo, that's not even remotely an extension of the 'logic' of my comment.
- izacus 7y agoSeems the exact same reasoning to me. Especially since we're talking about US, which just revoked visas to international court prosecutor, which dared to suggest an investigation, which would look into any possible war crimes that US soldiers may have commited in Afghanistan ( https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47822839 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47822839 ). A country which so aggresively attacks a person that merely suggests to look into possible breakage of a law cannot have clean hands or be trustworthy.
- billfruit 7y agoSanctioned by the government does not imply it is not extra-legal; to my eye these type of actions are morally and ethically problematic in peacetime.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoNo its explicitly legal now a days.
