Matter of fact, socialist economies are slumping in Europe with France, Germany, and even the model of socialistic economies, Sweden switching to austere measures, which is why Angela Merkel is said to be not a risk taker.

No, it's more about her personality than about her role as being the German chancellor.

And since when was the 'espionage' network new? The CIA does that on big leaders of the world.

The point was that officials who aren't in the CIA but who are diplomats do the same thing.

Personally I think it is quite selfish of Julian Assange and his team at wikileaks to release classified documents like this. He is just doing it to be a "revolutionary" while not considering the actual damage he is doing to innocent Americans or people of other countries that were not involved with any politicians' "evil doings".

When you buy a product at walmart then one can say that you ignore the actual damage you are doing to people who work in factories as slaves.

When Obama order the CIA to throw bombs that kill civilians on Yemen he's aware of the fact that innocent people die.
When Julian Assange releases document he's also aware that a few innocent people might get harmed.
Saying that either one acts because they want to be perceived as 'revolutionary' is a bit silly, the just make a calculated judgement and are okay with the collateral damage of their actions.

This release isn't only about blaming the US either.

If knowledge but the secrets of German politicians was gathered by the CIA that knowledge helps Germans to evaluate their politicians better.

The cables contain thousands small issues.

There just seem to be a lot more people in the world who hate America than other countries, so everybody targets the US with their emotional attacks.

The American government kills more citizens of other countries than any other country on the world. Maybe even as much as all other combined if you only count governments and don't count non states. I think it's quite natural that some people think that America should be opposed.

I don't see any of this news as surprising. I knew before this was even leaked that Saudi Arabia saw Iran as a potential threat and even purchased $90 billion in military supplies and equipment from the US.

For me it was interesting to know that Saudi leadership not only wants a war but also thinks that a war with Iran is inevitable.
