By the the fold I meant a country that generally plays by internationally accepted customs and cordiality, not a "US client state". If a country invites you to their joint military exercise, you don't spy on them during the exercise. This is basic common sense.

I'm sorry, are you saying that the US doesn't spy on military exercises of our allies?

>internationally accepted customs

Which are more often than not US dictated.

>If a country invites you to their joint military exercise, you don't spy on them during the exercise

This is nonsense. No-one does this more than the US.

Add up the populations of the countries that were party to the formation of your "internationally accepted customs".

Then add up the population who weren't consulted.
