Absolutely not. Spying, even on America’s friends, is important for our foreign policy and for staying on top.
I think you are confusing the world of geopolitics with concepts like “fair” and “good” and forgetting Lord Palmerston’s quote: “
Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.”
