Wow, how shocking; Russia and the US spy on each other!!!
Who would have guessed?

The interesting thing about it is the timing of the "revelation" about the eleven spies, just after the successful meeting of the heads of state.

The Evening Standard (main London evening paper) suggests that some people in the US Foreign department wanted to sabotage the recently improved relationship.

Another interesting thing about it were the ALLEGED mission of the spies: To intercept "policy-making" circles in the USA.
Talk about non-specific objectives!

The rest of the information about the spies read like a bad spy novel from ca 1975. And 110% there is just as much spying going the other direction! Everyone's spying on everyone else nowadays!
