http://news.yahoo.com/top-us-diplomat-europe-caught-swearing-eu-180240316.html;_ylt=AwrTWVWYBvRSBgMAuf3QtDMD/So basically someone (the original video had russian subtitles so maybe that is a clue. Or misdirection.) leaked a secretly taped conversation between two diplomats from USA where one of them, Victoria Nuland, expresses her opinion on EU. The conversation was about the Ukranian situation (the other person being the US ambassador to Ukraine) and the desire of USA to stop EU from participating or gaining from the negotiations.
Assistant Secretary Nuland has been in contact with her EU counterparts and relations with the EU are stronger than ever,
Well those relations must have been pretty weak earlier if this kind of thing is an improvement.
I am mostly just amused by this scandal, but two things stand out:
a) this is a fun way to use espionage.
b) I haven't heard of any apologies to Russia even though she also accused Russia of trying to sabotage the situation. (Or maybe even the Russians can't really deny that anymore.)
