Five Eyes includes US, CA, UK, NZ and AU. Does it mean that German or French social networks are not allowed in the US? Conversely, should Italy or Russia ban US social networks?

There are no absolute friends and absolute enemies. China was a good commercial partner of the US until a few years ago. Italy has been spied for decades by the CIA. The US wiretapped Germany's PM. Israel was caught installing spy mobile phone cells around the White House.

Or is threatening the economic and technological supremacy of the US by competing on the global markets already a way of not siding with the US?




China - Not Five Eyes

Italy - Not Five Eyes

Germany - Not Five Eyes

Israel - Not Five Eyes

Notice a pattern?

Anyone new US foreign policy should also lookup the Munro Doctrine. Would have saved Maduro and the Venezuelans a great deal of suffering.
