What does the fact that we are allies change? This is espionnage in any case and the US has shown that they do not miss a beat when it comes to stealing information from us.
We would be doing the same of course if we were not much weaker and if our products were actually used over there.

What does a war has to do with the fact that countries spy on each other without rest? Merkel's phone was bugged by the US - not something nice you do to an ally, right?

I am not and this is exactly why I wrote the second sentence. Our capacities, unfortunately, are way lower.
