I've never seen a byte claiming any nationality, Internet network topology is not geopolitical (at least a vast percentage of it) and routing policy != politics. When now in a "cloud" world your data may get replicated anywhere, trying to create "islands" (which btw are not immune to eavesdropping) only limits the access and level of service to end users. The NSA issue (which is not just the NSA or the USG) is a political problem, given the mandate and the funds, any agency in the world will try to sniff data wherever it is located, and sometimes it does not require too much technology or investment, often the weakest link is a badly paid technician or corrupt enough government official, anywhere.
