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.”

    We are and hopefully we will purchase more European made weapon systems and stop purchasing from the near future unreliable defense partner, the USA.

      USA might be an easier partner than some European countries. For example, to buy German weapons the approval has to go through the whole Bundestag, which is incredibly slow

      Oh the USA is a very reliable producer and seller of weapons. No matter who is in power, that won’t stop.

        Not exactly, if Mango Mussolini decides to stop the flow of spare parts to foreign owners of US weapons, nobody with a sane mind will buy them. There are plenty of alternatives on the market.

          He won’t. He’s a bitch, and the weapon’s manufacturers would just as soon pop him than lose money. It’s all about money.
