I think it's deluded to expect any country to come even close to what the US is doing except maybe China. The budgets of all are not anywhere high enough to pull such a thing off. The US has moved on a dark and lonely path after 9/11.. Not only in espionage, but also in remote killings, illegal imprisonment and torture. To say others do just the same seems deluded.

- clavalle 13y agoI can agree with your point that nobody quite reaches the scale of the US. I mean, I am not suggesting Uganda has huge data warehousing and analysis compounds or anything absurd like that. But I do suggest that every country is doing what they are capable. And countries like Japan, China, UK, Israel, Germany, Russia etc. are capable of quite a lot.
