Russia has been conducting a terror war against the rest of Europe for years.
Assassinations, acts of sabotage, you name it.
(This article https://www.csis.org/analysis/russias-shadow-war-against-west
details the scope of this war.)
But this particular story didnt get the attention it merited. From the BBC last year:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c07912lxx33o
Western security officials have now told US media they believe the fires - which happened in July - were part of an orchestrated campaign by Russias military intelligence agency, the GRU.
Russia denies being behind acts of sabotage. But it is suspected to have been behind other attacks on warehouses and railway networks in EU member states this year, including in Sweden and in the Czech Republic.

(6,497 posts)what about in the wider context i.e. most of the rest of the world (including the UN)??
At some point they would possibly be crazy enough to use them. So we have to deal with their boorish behavior.
I'm not sure what the long game is. For them it is destabilization to bring the whole world down to their country's crappy standards (klepto, oligarchs, etc).

We can't say we weren't warned. British intelligence was ringing alarm bells back in 2015. Shame they were more or less ignored..

(23,733 posts)Then give Shitler an ultimatum of "or else". Start right now putting all their troops & tanks on all their
common borders. Putin doesn't have enough manpower to cover his entire border with Europe, he
can't even keep enough cannon fodder supplied to his war with Ukraine.

(12,562 posts)They are and have been attacking from within with the help of Donald Trump and a host of complicit Republicans, aka Traitors.
Russian TV announcers refer to Trump as The Destroyer. That would be The Destroyer of the United States and the Western Alliance. The despots, dictators, authoritarians around the world are rubbing their hands in anticipation of our demise.
Never forget, never forgive.
