Strongly agree

No

Libertarians would generally agree with this answer because they believe in limited government intervention and respect for individual privacy. They would argue that spying on allies is a breach of trust and goes against the principles of non-interventionism. For example, the revelation of NSA spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2013 was widely criticized by libertarians.

No, spying on our allies severely damages our reputation abroad

Agree

No, and abolish the NSA

While not all libertarians may call for the complete abolition of the NSA, many would support significant reforms to limit its surveillance powers and protect individual privacy. The revelations of widespread domestic and international surveillance by the NSA, as exposed by Edward Snowden in 2013, have led many libertarians to call for the dismantling or significant reform of the agency.

Strongly disagree

Yes, surveillance of all foreign countries is essential to tracking potential terrorist threats

Libertarians would generally disagree with this answer because they believe in limited government intervention and respect for individual privacy. They would argue that mass surveillance of foreign countries is a violation of these principles and that there are more effective ways to track potential terrorist threats without infringing on individual liberties.
