Russian Spies

From Wikipedia:
"Illegals Program"

I have heard everyone say that it is just like the Cold War. One thing that really gets me is that everyone keeps saying that nothing will happen between US/Russian relations. I know that most governments around the world employ spies to work in other countries (the US included), but it is one of those "no one cares until you are caught" kind of things. The Russians were caught and instead of making an official statement against the Russian Government, the United States does nothing - except swap our spies for theirs. There is obviously much more going on than just the spies and I think the US doesn't want "upset" Russia so they will support us in other areas (ie Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, etc.)I know many Russians and have to say that when I first heard of the spy ring in the US one person came to mind - of course this person wasn't involved.
