MI6 and CIA warn of 'reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe' being waged by Russia

Sir Richard Moore and Bill Burns did not list examples but there has been a spate of mysterious sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in the UK, Germany and in the Baltics.

Russia is waging a “reckless campaign of sabotage” across Europe, the heads of MI6 and the CIA have warned in their first-ever joint remarks.

Sir Richard Moore and Bill Burns also said the UK and the US faced an “unprecedented array of threats”, and said the entire world order was under the most serious strain since the Cold War.

In a newspaper article, the spymasters pointed to Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, while also describing China as “the principal intelligence and geopolitical challenge of the 21st century”.

In the meantime, the most damaging act of sabotage that we know of on European ground was perpetrated (it seems) by Ukrainians. Many were pointing the finger in Russia’s direction when that happened, even if it didn’t make much sense. Just saying, we shouldn’t take spooks at their word, you never quite know who is really behind covert attacks on infrastructure. At best we, the general public, can speculate. It usually takes a hell of a long time for any serious investigation to take place, if that is even going to be conclusive.

Sabotage against an enemy in war is a long-held tradition, and can be a very effective tactic if it causes economic (or other) damage to their enemy. It will still cost less than rebuilding entire cities, but I guess that doesn’t matter as much since it wasn’t (scary hand gestures) sabotage.

So sky news uk and sky news Australia are different. I wish news corp would disintegrate for my convenience.

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

Honestly, you shouldn’t believe anything this bot says.

Gullible ,

Why do you say that?

Apparently unless the bot is completely anti-Semitic and calls for the death of Israel, it’s Israeli biased.

The bots job us to assert that only sources that follow approved narratives are reliable. It even insists that CIA propaganda network Radio Free Asia and its siblings are unbiased and trustworthy.

Rule 3: Sources that have (what it considers) a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

I’m sorry, but those poses by the guards are cracking me up. what is up with that lmao

Anyolduser ,

The position of attention is usually heels together, gut in, chest out, etc.

The raised chin is kind of old fashioned and only used for ceremonial purposes by some countries. Russia is one of those countries.

That being said, dude on the left looks like he put a little meth in his cereal that morning.

BaroqueInMind ,

Those guards are ceremonial and deliberately trained to pose like that and follow their gaze towards an elected leader of the Russian Federation with their entire head while the leader is within view.

It’s called tradition, you silly bitch, and you are correct to laugh at it because it indeed looks stupid as fuck. It mirrors the traditions and stupidity that the general Russian government and military still maintain to this very day (see the three-day Ukraine “Special military operation” that has somehow lasted two years and is spilling into their own borders as evidence).

Doesn’t mean they’re wrong, just that they also engage in a similar activities, albeit with different targets and objectives.

Still, not sure how relevant that is to mention when the subject being reported on is active FSB/GRU operations.
