I don't think anyone's shocked that we spied on Mexican officials, or that Russians spied on ours. That's been going on forever.

If Mexico had proof of US blackmail, or a disinformation campaign meant to swing the election, then, yes, they should protest.

What if EPN was blackmailed? How is he going to protest being blackmailed w/o revealing how we blackmailed him?

No, I get it. Blackmail sucks. Election-rigging sucks. But as a hypothetical: if Mexican intel learned of this & had proof...

The MX intel that has close ties and nifty goodies, courtesy of US spooks, which EPN ended up reversing campaign pledges about?

Every case is different, but I'm saying yes, we should be held to account diplomatically for our meddling when others can do so.

Truth is, if others start doing to us what the CIA has done globally...that's pretty much disaster, for us, the world, everyone.

Not spam. Thanks for engaging. How we deal with actions we do ourselves is very interesting.
