Q: How do I get rid of a circular dependency error while creating a database in sqlalchemy? I'm new at using sqlalchemy. How do I get rid of a circular dependency error for the tables shown below. Basically my goal is to create A question table with a one to one relationship "best answer" to answer and a one to many relationship "possible_answers" as well.
class Answer(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'answers'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text = Column(String)

    question_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('questions.id'))

    def __init__(self, text, question_id):
        self.text = text

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Answer '%s'>" % self.text

class Question(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'questions'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text = Column(String)
    picture = Column(String)
    depth = Column(Integer)
    amount_of_tasks = Column(Integer)
    voting_threshold = Column(Integer)
    best_answer_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('answers.id'), nullable=True)

    possible_answers = relationship("Answer", post_update=True, primaryjoin = id==Answer.question_id)

    def __init__(self, text, picture, depth, amount_of_tasks):
        self.text = text
        self.picture = picture
        self.depth = depth
        self.amount_of_tasks = amount_of_tasks

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Question, '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s'>" % (self.text, self.picture, self.depth, self.amount_of_tasks)

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Answer '%s'>" % self.text

This is the error message:
CircularDependencyError: Circular dependency detected. Cycles:

A: Apparently SQLAlchemy does not play well with circular dependencies. You might consider using an association table instead to represent the best answer...
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, ForeignKey, create_engine
from sqlalchemy import Table
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship, sessionmaker

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
Base = declarative_base()

class Answer(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'answer'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    question_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('question.id'))
    text = Column(String)

    question = relationship('Question', backref='answers')

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Answer '%s'>" % self.text

class Question(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'question'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text = Column(String)

    best_answer = relationship('Answer',
                               secondary=lambda: best_answer,
                               uselist=False)

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Question, '%s'>" % (self.text)

best_answer = Table('best_answer', Base.metadata,
                    Column('question_id',
                           Integer,
                           ForeignKey('question.id'),
                           primary_key=True),
                    Column('answer_id',
                           Integer,
                           ForeignKey('answer.id'))
                    )

if __name__ == '__main__':

    session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)()
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

    question = Question(text='How good is SQLAlchemy?')

    somewhat = Answer(text='Somewhat good')
    very = Answer(text='Very good')
    excellent = Answer(text='Excellent!')

    question.answers.extend([somewhat, very, excellent])
    question.best_answer = excellent

    session.add(question)
    session.commit()

    question = session.query(Question).first()

    print(question.answers)
    print(question.best_answer)

A: Mark's solution works, but I wanted to find a way to do it without creating an additional table. After extensive searching, I finally found this example in the docs:
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/relationship_persistence.html (the 2nd example)
The approach is to use primaryjoin [1] on both relationships in the Question model, and to add post_update=True on one of them. The post_update tells sqlalchemy to set best_answer_id as an additional UPDATE statement, getting around the circular dependency.
You also need foreign_keys specified on the question relationship in the Answer model.
Below is Mark's code modified to follow the linked example above. I tested it with sqlalchemy v1.1.9.
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, ForeignKey, create_engine
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship, sessionmaker

engine = create_engine('sqlite:///:memory:')
Base = declarative_base()

class Answer(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'answer'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text = Column(String)
    question_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('question.id'))
    question = relationship('Question', back_populates='answers', foreign_keys=[question_id])

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Answer '%s'>" % self.text

class Question(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'question'
    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
    text = Column(String)
    best_answer_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('answer.id'))
    answers     = relationship('Answer', primaryjoin= id==Answer.question_id)
    best_answer = relationship('Answer', primaryjoin= best_answer_id==Answer.id, post_update=True)

    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Question, '%s'>" % (self.text)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)()
    Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

    question = Question(text='How good is SQLAlchemy?')

    somewhat = Answer(text='Somewhat good')
    very = Answer(text='Very good')
    excellent = Answer(text='Excellent!')

    question.answers.extend([somewhat, very, excellent])
    question.best_answer = excellent

    session.add(question)
    session.commit()

    question = session.query(Question).first()

    print(question.answers)
    print(question.best_answer)

[1] Interestingly, the "string format" for primaryjoin seems to cause an error -- but constructing the SQL expression with the overloaded operators on the column objects works.

A: The proper way seems to be ForeignKeyConstraint(..., use_alter=True).
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/constraints.html#sqlalchemy.schema.ForeignKeyConstraint.params.use_alter

A: You could also sort of 'decorate' your models once they're initially defined.
    class Answer(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'answers'
        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        text = Column(String)

    class Question(Base):
        __tablename__ = 'questions'

        id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
        text = Column(String)
        picture = Column(String)
        depth = Column(Integer)
        amount_of_tasks = Column(Integer)
        voting_threshold = Column(Integer)
        best_answer_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('answers.id'), nullable=True)

    Answer.question_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey(Question.id))
    Question.possible_answers = relationship(Answer, post_update=True, primaryjoin=Question.id==Answer.question_id)

It's not too nice as the class definition starts to float around a little but it does the trick.

China Deals with Increase in IVF Demand after One-Family One-Child Policy Removal
Centers Packages Pricing Doctors Articles Treatments Videos Testimonials News FAQ Events
China Deals with Increase in IVF Demand after One-Family One-Child Policy Was Removed
Back in 1949, shortly after the People's Republic of China was established, the government encouraged Chinese families to have children and create manpower. Therefore, China's population doubled in the following years, but a problem arose: the country's food supply was strained. Between 1959 and 1961, the Great Chinese Famine killed an estimated 15 to 30 million people.
That is why the government decided to introduce in 1979 the one-child policy and a series of fines, sterilizations, and abortions for those who did not comply. It is estimated that this law prevented 400 million births.
After more than three decades of strict regulations, China has decided to remove this policy. Now families are allowed to have two children, but the law does not apply for single women who want to become mothers or to unmarried couples.
The decision to end this policy and allow families to have two children was taken for two reasons. One of them was to improve the balanced development of the population and the second was to deal with the aging population issue.
The role played by medical tourism
For some couples who have decided to have a second child, conceiving naturally is not possible. More and more Chinese people are infertile, with more than 40 million people in 2013, which makes up 12.5% of the total population of childbearing age.
This has lead to overcrowding the IVF clinics in the country, with one clinic serving 3.8 million people. More than 200,000 couples receive IVF Treatment in China annually, but the number is growing rapidly since the relaxation of the one child policy. Besides this, the procedure is not covered by insurance, so this counts as an extra reason for couples to look for fertility treatments abroad.
Medical tourism has become a widely chosen option for couples looking for highly-successful fertility procedures, as well as treatments that are not offered in their home country such as gender selection. Many couples consider gender selection to ensure proper family balancing.
Some of the most chosen countries for fertility treatments are Thailand, Ukraine, Korea and Georgia for their wide fertility treatment options, high success rates and highly specialized fertility specialists.
Fertility procedures
Some of the countries chosen by Chinese couples for gender selection we can mention Cyprus, Russia, Ukraine and Greece. There are two proven techniques that can affect the gender of the future child: the sperm-sorting method and the IVF procedure with the use of PGD. Both come with great success rates and have already been used for many years.
Sperm Sorting
The sperm sorting technique has been used for more than 30 years. The sperm sample is placed in a centrifuge where the denser X-sperm (producing a female child) is separated from the lighter Y-sperm (producing a male child). By separating the layers, one is increasing the chances of producing a child of a specific gender. The rates of success for this procedure are up to 85% for the couples who want a boy and 75% for those who want a girl. The price for this procedure varies between $1,300 and $2,500 per cycle.
IVF with PGD (In Vitro Fertilization with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)
With a success rate of97-99.9%, PGD is the only method that can guarantee the gender of the child. Embryos are tested for gender before they are implanted in the womb through IVF. The eggs are taken from the mother or from a donor and the sperm sample is taken from the father or a donor. The embryos are created in the lab and in the third day of growth they are subject to a biopsy.PGD is usually used by couples with a family history of a genetic disorder or by older women who are prone to having a baby with genetic birth defects. Prices vary from $2,235 in the Czech Republic to $6,400 in Cyprus and $7,925 in Thailand.
IVF using donor eggs
The success rates for IVF procedure drops significantly once the woman reaches 40, therefore some couples turn to donor eggs to conceive. The donor will have to undergo ovarian stimulation and egg collection, the eggs being fertilized with the male partner's sperm. Because the donor is young, the success of IVF with egg donation is more than 60%. The price for the procedure varies from $5,500 in India to $5,700 in Georgia and Cyprus and $6,730 in Russia.
For some couples, the only solution to have a baby is surrogacy. With gestational surrogacy, the surrogate mother has no genetic link with the child. The embryo will be created using the biological father's sperm and the biological mother's egg or donor sperm and egg. Using IVF the embryo will be transferred to the uterus of the surrogate mother. Chinese couples can enjoy the benefits of surrogacy in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus and the US. Prices range from $27,800 in Ukraine to $29,000 in Georgia and $49,830 in Russia.
PlacidWay is a leading medical tourism company offering solutions to each couple interested in becoming parents through fertilization options or surrogacy. With the growth in medical tourism, Chinese couples have many options readily available for them to fulfill their dream of having a child.

New Hero launch campaign to get booked for Ultra South Africa and they have our attention
Written by TATC Staff on 17 January 2023
We're all about supporting the little guy, but make no mistake, New Hero (Scottie Moore and Keaton Anthony) is so far from being a small fry. And yet playing Ultra SA, a stage they were born to dominate, has eluded them.
"Every year we work extremely hard on our live show and music, with only the large festivals in mind. Mainly Ultra. And despite creating some of the biggest local dance anthems on radio, we always get overlooked. We understand there are so many artists trying to get on one line-up, so it can't be easy for whoever does the bookings," Keaton told us when we hit him up for a comment.
Over the years, New Hero have created some of the biggest dance tracks to chart on SA radio, they've been #1 on Beatport and they've crafted a highly unique live set where it's always a jol no matter the size of the crowd.
With Ultra SA being one of the biggest, if not the biggest, electronic festival in the country, you'd expect them to at least have played there once, right? Wrong! But hey, it's not Ultra SA's fault, these things happen when there's an insurmountable pile of admin to get through, which is where we come in.
Ultra SA, TATC hearts you and we think it would be pretty rad of you to include New Hero on your line-up this year. We even had a sneaky listen to one of their new tracks and we just know it'll sound epic through those world class speakers of yours. Help make New Hero's whole year, we know you're cool like that. Kisses. X

If you run the code, you will see that the tile doesn't fit quite nicely into one line, and there is a lot of white space at the end. I'm pretty sure that it's something stupid that I am not seeing. Thank you!

A: The simple answer is to include \usepackage{caption} in the preamble.
My original guess was that without it, it used \textwidth, rather than \linewidth for the caption width since, during rotated text, the former is not changed, but the latter is.  But as John K. points out in the comments, the actual width of the default caption is significantly narrower than the value of \textwidth.
The comment by Arash E. Correctly diagnoses the length associated with the caption when the caption package is not used.  It is \LTcapwidth (i.e., longtable caption width).  I give an MWE at the end to demonstrate this.
In any event, the remedy is achieved through the use of the caption package, which properly sets the caption width to the available \linewidth.

USMC SGT. ANDREW TAHMOORESSI HELD IN SHITHOLE MEXICAN PRISON NOW FOR 103 DAYS : BOYCOTT MEXICO
Coward, drug-running Mexican pigs / military scum will now be targeted by Marines, Veterans whenever and wherever encountered, interrogated, snuffed; there will be no quarter, no mercy and they will find out exactly what it means to fuck with the United States Marine Corps: Marine Corps chain of command has failed completely and must be purged, entire officer corps, Commandant shitcanned and replaced with real leaders
LATIN POST
By Shawn Raymundo
Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi attended a nine-hour hearing Wednesday at a courthouse in Tijuana where he pleaded not guilty to weapons charges that were brought against him in April.
Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi USMC
Despite some of his supporters' hopes that the judge would release the Marine reservist following the hearing, Tahmooressi was sent back to El Hongo Prison near Tecate to await a second hearing set for Aug. 4, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Tahmooressi's mother, Jill Tahmooressi, got to speak to her son Wednesday and thanked Judge Victor Octavio Luna Escobedo for allowing her to do so. Jill also said she was confident that her son would eventually be released.
"He's strong, he's confident," Jill told reporters.
For the first time since his arrest on April 1, Tahmooressi on Wednesday was able to give the judge his account of the events that night. Judge Escobedo also heard testimony from Mexican customs officials regarding Tahmooressi's arrest.
According to The Times, Tahmooressi was arrested in San Ysidro for crossing the Mexico-U.S. border with a pistol, rifle, shotgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his pickup truck.
BOYCOTT ALL MEXICAN VACATIONS, PRODUCTS
Tahmooressi told reporters following his arrest that he had recently moved to San Diego where he would receive post-traumatic stress disorder treatment at the Veterans Affairs hospital in La Jolla. He said he had gotten lost while driving near the border and missed the turnoff to stay stateside. Tahmooressi also said he had never been to Mexico before but Mexican officials insisted that Tahmooressi wasn't telling the truth.
A hearing for last month was cancelled because Tahmooressi fired his previous attorney that was provided for him.
Future fate of all coward Mexican pigs / military shitbags when encountered by Marines, Veterans: "Gee, no habla Espanol, asswipe."
His current attorney, Fernando Benitez, said the case is focused on the Mexican officials' procedural violations during Tahmooressi's arrest. He added that official paperwork seems to be missing.
Benitez said if Tahmooressi is convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison. He also warned Tahmooressi and his mother, Jill, that the case go on for a few months over the course of several hearings, The Times reported.
DEATH to Mexico, coward, drug-running, human trafficking Mexican pigs, Mexican military scum
More than 70 U.S. Congressional members have insisted that President Barack Obama's administration get involved in the Tahmooressi case. Earlier this week, two members wrote a letter to Judge Escobedo urging him not to punish Tahmooressi for making a "simple mistake at the border."
However, Mexican officials have argued that a "simple mistake" is not an excuse to break the law and also noted that there are several signs posted at the border warning visitors that it is a crime to bring firearms into the country.
America's Nazis In Kiev : "Russians Are Subhuman"
"Mainstream media" continues to ignore fact that entire Ukrainian debacle the result of Obama's CIA engineered and financed coup in Kiev; Russia would do well to simply annex entire Ukraine, NATO lapdog Turkey in final solution to the fascist question
By Tony Cartalucci
Self-appointed prime minister of Ukraine, Arseny Yatsenyuk of the "Fatherland Party," referred to Russians as "subhuman," echoing the racist vitriol of Nazism Yatsenyuk and others in his regime subscribe to. It was a violent, armed coup spearheaded by Neo-Nazi militants that placed Yatsenyuk into power in the first place, along with the Neo-Nazi political front Svoboda, and paved way for fraudulent elections that predictably yielded a pro-US-EU client regime.
Yatsenyuk made his comments amid ongoing fighting in the east of Ukraine, where Kiev is waging war upon fellow Ukrainians, shelling and bombing cities in provinces that refuse to recognize the regime's seizure of power during late 2013 – early 2014. After a significant loss of life during one of Kiev's many ill-conceived military operations, Yatsenyuk stated:
They lost their lives because they defended men and women, children and the elderly who found themselves in a situation facing a threat to be killed by invaders and sponsored by them subhumans.
First, we will commemorate the heroes by wiping out those who killed them and then by cleaning our land from the evil.
Obama's CIA fascist Brownshirts
From fabricating an "invasion," to claims of "threatened" lives, to the labeling of Russians as "subhuman," Yatsenyuk has recited fully the script of Nazism used to justify its various historical crimes against humanity.
Kiev's forces in eastern Ukraine are not fighting an "invasion," but constitute an invading force themselves, making incursions into eastern Ukraine and holding territory only through unmitigated brutality against local populations clearly collaborating with armed self-defense forces intent on resisting Kiev's authority.
To glimpse into the mentality that wrought Yatsenyuk's racist comments, one must refamiliarize themselves with the infamous Nazi pamphlet, "Der Untermensch," (literally "the underman"). In it, it characterizes the Slavic people as barbarians, comparing them to "Attila and Gengis Khan." Under the subtitle, "The subhuman has challenged humanity, thus began the terrible invasion of Attila and Gengis Khan!" the pamphlet states:
On their small ugly steppe horses, the subhuman hordes appearing as if they were part of the animal, growing out of its fur, descended onto Europe with their inhuman cry!
Their narrow eyes shone with excitement and the greedy bloodthirsty desire to reign down fire and destruction on all in their path.
The cry "the Huns come" was heard for centuries and became synonymous with fear and loathing. Russia became the stepping stone for where the subhuman ideology and doctrine burst forth against the world of light.
Repeatedly these wild barbarians with sharpened spears, cursing and foaming at the mouth came to bring destruction to the cultured west.
This "horde" is directly compared to the Slavic people of Russia and of course "Jews" throughout the pamphlet, with the "Aryan race" seen as the "protectors" of Europe:
The German Aryan Knight stands as the bulwark against the subhuman horde, noble fighters for all that is good, keeping Europe from descending into the pit of savagery and stupidity.
Nutless, gutless, useless CIA dupe Ban Ki Moon complicit
The rants of Adolf Hitler's Nazi propagandists echo clearly in the statements emanating from Kiev and even Washington and Brussels today – characterizing resistance to overt Nazis seizing power violently in Kiev as an "invasion" of "subhumans."
Weighing both the Nazi linage of Yatsenyuk's political party and its allies in the Neo-Nazi Svoboda Party and their Right Sector militant front, side-by-side with "Der Untermensch," it is difficult to conclude the rhetoric in Kiev originated from anywhere else but Nazism.
The Only Thing Worse Than Nazi Vitriol is Defending Those Who Spread It
US State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki, was asked directly if she supported comments made by Kiev regarding both Russian President Vladimir Putin and racist comments made about the Russian people being "subhumans" themselves. Psaki would utterly fail to condemn the comments and instead excused them as efforts "in support of a peaceful resolution" – this even as Kiev strafes its own population with warplanes and pounds populated cities with artillery.
Geriatric TRAITOR Biden licking the ass of fascist fruitcake
One must wonder what the West's reaction would have been if an Iranian diplomat referred to Israelis as "subhumans."
Unlike the current regime in Kiev which are literal Nazis tracing their poisonous ideology back to Nazi-collaborators like Stepan Bandera, Iran has no sociopolitical link to Nazism.
Its comments regarding Israel have generally been geopolitical, not racial or religious in nature – considering Iran is host to the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside of Israel.
Still, comments made by the Iranian government over the years have been twisted, manipulated, portrayed as "Nazism," and most certainly condemned by the West in every possible manner.
The vile Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland blowing fascists
That the West has failed to condemn literal Nazi rhetoric today, lifted almost verbatim from pamphlets peddled by the very founders of Nazism, once again illustrates that the West is not a political order of ideals, but rather one of interests pursued behind a thin veil of "ideals."
These "ideals" are liberally abused and at times – such as now – completely and shamelessly abandoned. Psaki's inability to condemn Kiev's Nazi vitriol is part of a greater campaign of diversion attempting to cover up and spin Kiev's growing list of atrocities and crimes against humanity.

Berlin Tells CIA Station Chief To Leave In Newest "BerlinGate" Spy Scandal
Obama's murdering CIA scum busted in yet another scandal; Berlin CIA station chief should have been tried and executed: WHEN will world leaders finally come to the conclusion that Obama and his CIA mercs are their most dangerous and abiding enemy?
By Madeline Chambers
Germany told the CIA station chief in Berlin to leave the country on Thursday in a dramatic display of anger from Chancellor Angela Merkel at the behaviour of a close ally after officials unearthed two suspected U.S. spies.
No more kissy-face: Did Merkel finally get it?
The scandal has chilled relations with Washington to levels not seen since Merkel's predecessor opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. It follows allegations that Merkel herself, who grew up in Stasi-ridden East Germany, was among thousands of Germans whose mobile phones have been bugged by American agents.
"Spying on allies ... is a waste of energy," the chancellor said in her most pointed public remarks yet on the issue. "We have so many problems, we should focus on the important things."
Senior conservative supporters denounced U.S. "stupidity" and some Americans said spying on their friends had backfired. But both sides stressed their need to go on working together.
"In the Cold War maybe there was general mistrust. Today we are living in the 21st century. Today there are completely new threats," Merkel said in Berlin, once a key CIA listening post behind the Iron Curtain during the superpower duel with Moscow and now the reunited capital of Europe's most powerful economy.
How will Merkel react this time around?
Her spokesman said the request for the top U.S. intelligence official in the Berlin embassy to leave was made in response to questions raised in recent months on U.S. intelligence activity in Germany and by prosecutors' investigations.
In guarded comments, a White House spokeswoman declined comment on "reports" of "a purported intelligence matter" but she stressed: "Our security and intelligence relationship with Germany is a very important one and it keeps Germans and Americans safe ... It is essential that cooperation continue." U.S. government sources said the official - whom neither side named - was Berlin station chief for the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency. A German source said the man would face possible forcible expulsion if he did not leave voluntarily.
Washington's embassy and Merkel's office sit a few hundred metres apart. They lie east and west of what was the Berlin Wall, for the removal of which many Germans still give great credit to their U.S. ally - deepening today's sense of betrayal.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said: "The Americans are our closest allies in all security questions.
"We're aware of our shared past. But we do not approve of this way of dealing with each other and today's measure, which was reasonable and appropriate, is a clear indication of that."
On Wednesday, Berlin said it had discovered a suspected U.S. spy in the Defence Ministry. That came just days after a German foreign intelligence worker was arrested on suspicion of being a CIA informant and admitted passing documents to a U.S. contact.
The scale of public outrage at these revelations has put pressure on Merkel to take action against the United States, an ally whose defence of West Germany in the Cold War long assured Americans a warmer welcome there than elsewhere in Europe.
However, there is a limit to what she can do and both sides stressed the need to continue to work closely together. They have done increasingly in recent years, on issues from Iran to Ukraine, as Germany shakes off its postwar reticence in foreign affairs and takes on a role more suited to its economic weight.
Experts said that talks on a free trade deal between the European Union and United States, called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), may be affected; Berlin may push harder on some aspects of the deal in areas such as data protection - long a major concern for Germans after the abuses of the Nazi Gestapo and East German Stasi secret police.
Obama's "Spawn of Satan" John Brennan responsible
"But the idea that Merkel would somehow try to torpedo TTIP is not really likely," said Germany expert Hans Kundnani at European Council on Foreign Relations in London.
John Kornblum, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany who still lives in Berlin, said: "I believe the Germans are telling the Americans, 'We want to continue close cooperation but you've pushed us too far and have forced us to react'."
Merkel's government poured scorn on the alleged espionage.
Interior Minister de Maiziere said the information the United States appeared to have obtained was "laughable", contrasting that with the "disproportionate and serious political damage" the scandal had caused.
Merkel was "not amused", Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said, adding: "This is so stupid, it can only make you weep."
Tensions have risen since revelations last year stemming from documents leaked by Edward Snowden, a contractor with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Those caused Berlin to demand a mutual "no-spy deal" which Washington has resisted.
"Ever since the NSA disclosures broke last year, the issue of U.S. spying has been an extremely sensitive issue in Germany," said Karen Donfried, president of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, which promotes U.S.-European ties.
Some Americans asked whether the espionage activities were worth the bother: "I am not troubled that the United States conducts espionage, even against friendly states," said one former senior U.S. intelligence official.
"I am troubled when we attempt espionage and do not do it well. We learn nothing and we embarrass a friend and ourselves."

Washington's Arrogance Will Destroy Its Empire
Obama now utilising the old Bush/Rovian "double down" failed strategy: When the going gets tough, rather than hide go completely over the edge of insanity in the hope that Americans will be completely terrorised into silence and willing to accept what was previously unacceptable with a sigh of relief
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
"Washington reeks of the stench of evil…"
Alone among the governments in the world, Washington requires sovereign governments to follow Washington's laws even when Washington's laws contradict the laws of sovereign countries.
TRAITOR-IN-CHIEF: Barack Hussein Obama
The examples are endless. For example, Washington forced Switzerland to violate and to repeal Switzerland's historic bank secrecy laws.
Washington executes citizens of other countries, as well as its own citizens, without due process of law.
Washington violates the sovereignty of other countries and murders the countries' citizens with drones, bombs, and special forces teams.
Washington kidnaps abroad citizens of other countries and either brings them to the US to be tried under US law or sends them to another country to be tortured in secret torture centers. Washington tells banks in other countries with whom they can do business and when the banks disobey, Washington blackmails them into compliance or imposes fines that threaten their existence.
Last week Washington forced a French bank to pay Washington $9 billion dollars or be banned from its US operations, because the bank financed trade with countries disapproved by Washington.
Washington issues ultimatums to sovereign nations to do as they are told or "be bombed into the stone age".
Washington violates diplomatic immunity and forces down the planes of presidents of sovereign countries to be illegally searched.
Washington ordered its UK vassal to violate the laws and conventions governing political asylum and to refuse free passage to Julian Assange to Ecuador.
Washington ordered Russia to violate its laws and to hand over Edward Snowden.
Russia is strong enough to refuse to comply with Washington's orders.
So what did Washington do?
The city upon the hill, the light unto the world, the "indispensable, exceptional government," kidnapped Roman Seleznyov, the son of a Russian MP, in a foreign country, the Republic of the Maldives, an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Seleznyov was seized by Washington as he boarded a flight to Moscow and was spirited away on a private plane to US controlled territory where he was arrested on bogus fraud charges.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accused Washington of kidnapping a Russian citizen in "a new hostile move by Washington" against the Russian people.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Seleznyov's kidnapping is illegal - as is everything Washington has done since the Clinton regime. Seleznyov's father, a member of the Russian legislative body, believes that Washington kidnapped his son in order to exchange him for Edward Snowden.
Seleznyov was immediately, without any evidence, charged with imaginary offenses amounting to 30 years in prison.
The fascist head of Homeland Security declared that the completely illegal action by the Washington Gestapo is an "important arrest" that "sends a clear message" that "the long arm of justice -and this Department - will continue to disrupt and dismantle sophisticated criminal organisations."
The US Secret Service declared the Russian MP's son to be "one of the world's most prolific traffickers of stolen financial information."
What utter bullshit.
As the entire world now knows, the greatest thief of financial information is Washington's National Stasi Agency. Washington's Stasi Agency has stolen for the benefit of US corporations that make generous political contributions financial information from companies in Brazil, Germany, France, China, Japan, indeed, everywhere. Washington's Stasi have even stolen the Chancellor of Germany's private cell phone conversations.
The world was stupid to trust American information systems which serve as spy devices.
Anyone who purchases an American brand name computer, or relies on American Internet services, can know for a fact that Washington's National Stasi Agency has complete information about them.
The other governments thought that they had a free ride on US capital investment, but what this free ride meant was that no government and no population had proprietary information and secrets.
The US National Stasi Agency can blackmail the entire population of the world.
According to the neoconservatives, the right to spy on the world is the right of the "indispensable" people, as represented by their "exceptional" government. The world is stupid in many other ways in the trust misplaced in Washington. NGOs funded by Washington operate in many countries and serve as Washington's Fifth Columns.
Washington can call out its NGOs into the streets to challenge and overthrow non-cooperating governments or to create for Washington propaganda against targeted governments, as Washington did when it called out its Russian NGOs to protest in the Russian streets that Putin stole the election.
These NGOs are proud of the blood that they have, or soon will have, on their hands. It shows that they are important agents of the Empire.
With a captive Western media and European governments plus Japan, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, S. Korea and the Philippines, Washington can brazen out its lies and false charges. "Saddam Hussein has weapons of Mass Destruction." No one has been punished for this costly lie.
"Assad of Syria used chemical weapons against his own people." No one has been punished for this costly lie. "Russia invaded Ukraine." No one has been published for this costly lie. "Edward Snowden is a Chinese / Russian / someone's spy and a traitor to boot for telling Americans about the illegal actions of their government." No one has been punished for this lie. "Julian Assange is a spy for making leaked documents of Washington's crimes available on the Internet." No one has been punished for this lie.
Every American opposed to Wall Street's and Washington's hegemony has been declared to be persona non grata. Such Americans are "domestic extremists," who are now the focus of the Gestapo Homeland Security, a well armed military force, in contravention of the Posse Comitatus Act. Homeland Security is an illegal and unconstitutional force directed at the American people.
The sheeple American people are forced to pay for it as their homes are foreclosed and those that aren't foreclosed are invaded by goon thug SWAT teams.
Environmentalists are in the way of capitalist profits, and the capitalists rule, not the environmentalists. Environmentalists are "domestic extremists".
War protesters are investigated as "agents of foreign powers".
People concerned with the fate of animals and the decline of species due to habitat destruction by greedy, short-term motivated corporations, are on the list of "domestic extremists".
The Supreme Court is owned by the private interest groups who have bought our government. The US Supreme Court is the great enemy of the US Constitution.
Law is misused to send millions of innocents, especially the young, and Americans whose violations are inconsequential to prison in order to support the revenue needs of the privatized prison system.
It is difficult to imagine a country as wrong as the US, where government serves not the people but a tiny handful of the one percent, a government incapable of delivering any kind of justice, a government that if it uttered truth would destroy itself.
Washington reeks of evil. And the world is beginning to realize it.
