38 countries are pretending to be pissed because their voters expect them to react as such. This information was brought to the public attention by a 3rd party, and as such, politicians have to respond with shock and indignation and feign outrage as it is now hard to spin into something it isn't. It's silly theater for the ignorant masses as all matters relating to state security and espionage made public tend to be.
All countries spy. All countries gather intelligence legally and illegally to the best of their ability. All enemies spy on each other. All allies spy on each other. Germany spies on the US just as all other EU countries do.
The only crime in espionage is getting caught. Getting caught demonstrates that one party bested the other and the "offended" party must feign shock for the public as it provides absolute proof of their own ineptitude with which they manage their own security. After all, what does it say to the public about their leaders which can't provide their own head of state with a secure phone line.
The true crime is the degree to which the stupid and naive masses feel their misguided and ill informed opinions be heard and the unbridled ignorance and naivete with which they express them. Only a fist full of people know ALL the facts and that is the people who executing the operations and analyzing data. Those who allege themselves to be victims, often know very little and have very few facts. And further, the public only knows in these matters what both parties want them to know.
