The US doesn't need to launch them from their own soil
It would still need to send them over territory that is either hostile or neutral.
I love that you say that like the US would never dream of sending stuff over a country without their consent. The US was spying on allies such as top German politicans, they have like ten different spy plane, spy drone, spy shapeship, etc projects currently running that we know about, they invaded friendly Pakistan to get Osama... Do you really think the CIA would pause for a second before flying a balloon over Tajikistan?
You misinterpret me. Of course US surveillance has a long arm. I'm not denying that. It's less a question of whether they would and more whether they can. For that matter, it doesn't even make that much sense to.
