The Offense of Gathering Intelligence

Norway says it's gathering intelligence in an offensive way. The official way to ask for secret information is like pardon me, sir, but may I borrow some of your secret information that I might use if in my government? You're like, jolly good. It's happening in fishing boats. They're looking through their binoculars, but they're also the one eye through a binocular, but the other eye is looking over here. Or like reading a newspaper upside down. Getting information. Like, congratulations Norway. You figured out what espionage is.
