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.”
Maybe we should fucking do something about it. Just going to keep happening.
Trump plans to do something about it. He plans to give Putin two thumbs up and offer him the Presidential Medial of Freedom (soon to be renamed the Trump Medal of Being the Greatest Ever Bigly).
Agreed.
Nice username, by the way.
You guys route for each other
America: y'all got this
punches you on the shoulder
Diplomacy doesn't work with dictators. It seems like Western countries are afraid of "angering Russia" by arresting their spies or stopping trade with the country as a whole.
Well, they were assassinating people in Europe before 2022. What makes Europe think Russia gives a damn about laws or basically anything?
Europe needs to invest in military asap
We are and hopefully we will purchase more European made weapon systems and stop purchasing from the near future unreliable defense partner, the USA.
Its only reckless if the perp has to worry about his life and the finding out phase.
If you instead just appease the criminal and constantly shy away when he threatens you with the same alcoholic abuser-inspired dramatic "pack your bags!" bullshit, you're part of the problem.
It's like Europe hasn't learned the lessons of two world wars.
Sir Richard also said British spies were taking “covert action” against Russia to defeat Vladimir Putin and likened intelligence activity today in Ukraine to the “secret war” fought in the Second World War against Nazi Germany.
Well, if anybody can secret-agent their way out of this one, it's the British lol
You're suggesting that their Russian-backed Brexit proves they're subtly-superior in such capability?
No, I'm mostly saying it ironically based on the image of the British spy in popular media.
