>[1] Just check the comment sections in the major German newspapers.

Considering the comments I see on websites like the Guardian, I don't know why I'd trust the comments section on any German newspaper.

Maybe the Germans like that the US is footing the bill for most of the intelligence gathering in the world.

Germany is a smaller country than the US, has a pacifistic streak a mile wide and hasn't been hit hard by islamic terror yet.

You bet we aren't outspending the US.

I don't read the Guardian comment section. What is the difference between the Guardian and a comparable major German newspaper w.r.t. comments?

I'm saying in general comments sections on newspaper's websites do not represent the actual majority opinion of a population.
