sure, what else? who else?

it's very rich coming from a country who facilitates (cough!! NSA) warrantless surveillance on it's own citizens.

That's not as important as the fact that it spies on foreigners and hacks their computers. Americans somehow decided spying and hacking is OK as long as it's being done to others, not themselves. They shouldn't be surprised that other countries hold the reciprocal views.

Other countries will hold reciprocal views regardless of American sentiments on the issue. Nations are not people and hypocrisy doesn't matter on an international scale. Any student of history would see this.

> Americans somehow decided spying and hacking is OK

I'm still trying to remember when I was asked of this would be OK.
