    I love the dissonance between:

    * Daily reports about Russia’s hybrid war against the US and Europe.

    * Daily articles about how Trump says Russia is not a threat and Putin’s a great guy.

  2. I mean they didn’t just plan it….they actually did it but somehow noone suspects a thing even though it was obvious…lol. Interesting picture btw…hmmm

    Horrifying if true, but I’ve never heard of this source and the FT article they’re citing is behind a paywall.

    Ironically, if the Russian plot had not been foiled and the plane’s passengers killed, maybe the West would’ve supported Ukraine more. Those pilots’ deaths would’ve resulted in saving tens or hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives. It may have even saved many Russian lives too because the war would’ve ended sooner. That doesn’t mean the plot should’ve been allowed to succeed, but it does make you do wonder what the alternative universe would look like.

    I took a flight recently out of Spain last week or two and the security agent told us to take out many things from our luggage they normally don’t ask, and the girl said sorry, yesterday they told me to start asking for these things. I suspected there was something, this explains it

  6. How much will Russia do until we actually respond? It’s incredibly clear they’re behind this and recent drone incursions, when does the west say enough is enough and actually confront Russia?

    Russia is a slovenly nation of degenerate terroristic thug scumbags who lose at everything and then flip the table on their way out.

  8. >European services found out that this was only the first stage. The next step was to blow up airplanes on routes to the United States, which would have caused mass casualties and global shock.

    Hopefully, global resolve, not shock, to put the rabid regime down…

    Russia is actively trying to destabilise the West through hybrid warfare and anyone who *still* cannot figure this out is blind.

  10. Makes sense. This is why Putin wanted trump in office. He’s preparing to invade Europe so he’s destabilizing NATO and getting the US out of the picture.

  11. Ukraine just needs to let trump name a road or a swimming pool after himself, like the Donal J trump road of roadiness, or swingpool of wetness…

    “European intelligence agencies have found that a Russian sabotage network was preparing to blow up planes flying to the United States.

    According to the Financial Times, the explosives seized were enough to organize mid-air bombings – an attack on a scale not seen since September 11, 2001.

    The uncovered operation was part of a broader hybrid campaign that Moscow is deploying in Europe. A series of disparate incidents now form a coherent pattern of escalation.

    Analysts note that Russia’s hybrid attacks go beyond a reaction to the war against Ukraine and indicate preparations for a potential major conflict.

    Intelligence assessments echo the NATO 2023 report, which predicts Russia’s readiness for war with Europe by 2029.

    The key element of the scheme was the explosions at DHL logistics centers in Poland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The parcels with magnesium fuses were sent from Lithuania.

    European services found out that this was only the first stage. The next step was to blow up airplanes on routes to the United States, which would have caused mass casualties and global shock.

    In Lithuania and Poland, at least 20 people are accused in the case. The organizer fled to Azerbaijan, and the FSB, SVR, and GRU publicly interceded for his release.

    Intelligence also records the activities of Russian agents studying bridges and railroad infrastructure in Europe. In Poland, an explosion on the Warsaw-Lublin railroad was prevented.

    Experts emphasize that intelligence services have foiled several other sabotage acts, including arson, attempts to destroy dams, and interference with water supply. The known cases are only part of the threat.

    Moscow is actively recruiting Eastern European citizens and local criminals, managing operations remotely through messengers and cryptocurrency.

    Germany claims that minor incidents are structured elements of the Kremlin’s targeted hybrid campaign.

    Analysts compare Russia’s current activity to the methods of the KGB. In their opinion, Europe is already in the “pre-war” phase described in Soviet scenarios.

    Poland has recently indicted a Russian man for leading an FSB sabotage and spy group.”

    And would you trust Trump and his team NOT to whitewash Russian involvement if a plane had blown up?

    Not a chance.

  14. Just your latest in a series of rapidly accelerating reminders that Russia is ruled by sociopaths.

    Trump needs something to happen in 2026 to give him the authority to freeze the upcoming elections. A large scale terrorist attack involving international travel would certainly get him what he needs.

  16. Europe is preparing a massive launch of stern letters. Ok maybe not stern…. let’s say displeased…. no that is too harsh… a few letters with implied discontent.

  17. This happened in the summer of 2024, and the story first broke just over a year ago. Not sure why it’s being reported again now.

    It should have been a massive scandal, but the story didn’t get much traction. Russia literally bombed a UK airport and nobody really cared.

    20 years ago this sort of news would have been world leading headlines *for weeks*, with NATO and UNSC holding emergency meetings.

    50 years ago this sort of news would have brought the Doomsday Clock a whole minute closer to midnight with the US mobilizing units for deployment.

    Prior to the advent of nuclear weapons this sort of behavior would absolutely be *casus belli* and likely have started a war.

    Why the fuck do we, the civilized world, put up with Russia anymore? How can it be any more plain that this country and the people running it are incompatible with living in a civilized society?

  19. “War ready by 2029”. I say fuck it and just declare war on Russia now, while they’re still limping. I’m tired of the legwork “hybrid” does when talking about attacks on our countries.

    Trumps response is : “hruguggh ughrhuhh murhmh”

    The exact words couldn’t be made out because the quotation was obtained as Trump was gurgling down Putin’s dick.

  21. Reserved_Parking-246 on

    IIRC we went to war over the sinking of a civilian ship at one point.

    50 years ago this would cause some serious shit… But america doesn’t care about it’s people anymore and it’s people are slowly realizing it.

  22. What does it take to realize PUTIN is an enemy to the WORLD! Of course the criminal trump is right up there too. 😬

    These terrorists are not going to have until 2029.

    Ready for war with Europe by 2029?

    Their 3 day special military operation has turned into a 3 year shit show. I’ll not start prepping just yet.

    Donald trump and his whole admin need to be removed from office immediately, by any means necessary. This is the absolute most desperate of situations.
