As is demonstrated so often, being an "ally" of the United States requires total obedience.

Exactly, which is why all of our allies do exactly what we want 100% of the time

Yeah it's hyperbole, but is this the way to treat an "ally"? Is it worth letting potentially many die over a political disagreement?

Exactly!  How serious was Germany about letting the traitor in?

Just for the record, you support the American way of going about this? That's fine if you do, but don't give me any bullsh**t about friendship and partnership if you do.

A matter of political asylum for someone who acted in the immediate German national interest while doing no harm except as to expose American violations of German law (which I understand you don't give a sh**t about) is not something anybody interested in friendship would use to withhold information on terrorist attacks.
