    Because I’m not paranoid about the country that’s been providing me with support and targeting data flying a plane off the border that can look into Crimea?

    So, again, from your perspective, why should Ukraine be scared?

        You still haven’t actually made a point. Why would Ukraine be worried about US surveillance of its own soil?

          US collaborates with dictatorship around the world like saudi arabia, egypt, turkey and many others. Some of that are in direct partnership with russia. China who is also a commercial partner of usa sells weapons to russia.

        @cloud @flying_monkies yes, we do, but looking back through centuries of history, you will find that EVERY country with any kind of power has always done so. Turkey (Ottoman), Rome (RC church and Roman Empire), Eqypt, Athens, Spain, France, Germany, Russia, England, Nordic, USA, Aztecs, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. This is NOT NEW. Back up and get perspective. It will help with the sand in your shorts.

          So if the Ottoman, the Roman empire or the Aztects were to send spies near your borders every second you wouldn’t be concerned about it?
