Putin won’t stop at Ukraine, warns Sir Richard Moore, as Kremlin espionage fears grow fuelled by mysterious DHL plane crash in Lithuania

Summary

MI6 Chief Sir Richard Moore revealed a “staggeringly reckless” Russian sabotage campaign across Europe, targeting infrastructure and sowing fear to undermine Western support for Ukraine.

Suspected incidents include a DHL cargo plane crash in Lithuania, undersea internet cable cuts, and fires at facilities in Germany, Poland, and the UK.

Moore emphasized the broader threat to European security if Russia succeeds in Ukraine, warning of emboldened autocracies like China and North Korea.

He highlighted covert Western actions countering Russia and reinforced the importance of UK-France-US intelligence collaboration against Putin’s “morally bankrupt axis.”

      lmao…

      Russia’s methodology is waaay insaner than we Westerners would imagine…

      The ONLY reason that nukes haven’t been used against Ukraina is because … lower-down officers haven’t authorized it.

      They’ve got a bizarre system whereby there’s a “secrets officer” in every … platoon is it? … to make-certain that EVERYbody in their military is kept in the dark, throughout the entire hierarchy,

      AND THEN they have it so that the lower-downs decide whether nukes are used…

      Sargeants? lower?

      So, they make absolutely certain that the people making such decisions cannot-possibly have the information they need.

      Russian military doctrine.

      WE OWE THE RUSSIAN OFFICERS WHO HAVE REFUSED TO USE NUKES, MANY OF OUR LIVES, now!

      Same as when that Russian nuke-sub had a malfunction, & a Russian officer refused to contribute to nuke-everything, so we owe HIM our lives, too!

      Just because we’re saner … doesn’t mean that our-method is somehow normal among their military…

      & saner is a relative thing, right?

      I wonder what percentage of humankind will look back, in 16 years, wondering how we could have been complaining about our condition now, when it all went to hell, then ( I expect WW3 to go completely-bonkers in about 2040, but non-nuke, as I expect the trashing of GPS++ to happen, before then: Kessler Syndrome should render ICBMs unusable, along with all satnav )
