Europe is like Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (where he's bent over). The US is the thug behind him.

And both seem to be enjoying it.

According to released information most of the espionage occurring against Europe is economic. From the UK wanting to know what German interest rate policies were back in the 1980s to Airbus to current the current state of EU finances and what they are planning to do.

Germany is in a fantastic economic situation and has unparalleled soft power across Europe at the moment. So yes, certain European nations are enjoying it, and are not in the slightest bent over.
