Been reading about the latest leaked documents and it seems substantial (more than snowden) but some apparently were edited to appear even more disturbing than they really were. Some US Allie’s are pissed off obviously. But how much damage will this leak accomplish? Will the US lose Allies over it? Will this cause a war if the US finds the perpetrator was part of an espionage scheme?
How will this play out do you think?
not detrimental at all. its just embarrassing, no biggee.

not a huge deal imo. israel, china, russia, iran, india, and many other countries have nation-state groups that are actively spying on/gathering information on the US. I think its almost accepted that everyone is trying to collect information from everyone all the time (allies and enemies). I dont think we lose any allies over it but they might trust us a little less. this shit has been going on for decades
its more precise to state that everyone already knows for years now that the US spies on its allies, rigs elections in its allies countries etc. France, Italy, Ukraine, you name it. so really there is nothing to see here.
