Spy- Raus!

Germany is expelling the CIA's station chief. The Germans are saying it's not an "expulsion", just a polite request to get the fuck out.

Usually, when a "friendly" nation expels a diplomat, it's for deeply personal fuckery, such as getting drunk and killing a hooker. Tiffs such as this are normally worked out in quiet. That the Germans went public says a lot about the state of relations between Germany and the U.S.

  1. I think the point here is to make much ado about nothing to pacify the German public. The German Government likes to play it both ways; public condemnation and 'Very Serious Talks' when this stuff hits, and quiet cooperation after it blows over. In the past, they'd publicly shut down info-sharing with the USG for a couple months and then very quietly resume it. I wonder if this guy was ready to leave or was going to be replaced.
