Security services say spate of fires and infrastructure attacks could be part of systemic attempt by Russia to destabilise continent


Security services around Europe are on alert to a potential new weapon of Russia’s war – arson and sabotage – after a spate of mystery fires and attacks on infrastructure in the Baltics, Germany and the UK.

When a fire broke out in Ikea in Vilnius in Lithuania this month, few passed any remarks until the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, suggested it could have been the work of a foreign saboteur.

    I personally don’t trust the bias rating & fact checking websites. I’ve been reading through this particular one that you’ve posted about and I’ve already found several things that don’t seem to add up. For example, with Fox News they point out everything that tmay have been wrong about, but with CNN & MSNBC, they don’t really mention anything about what they’ve gotten wrong, and they’ve gotten plenty of things wrong. I’ll just mention a couple, and that’s calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation and right-wing propaganda or saying that the Russian dossier on Trump had been verified.

      “Fact checkers” is just another layer of AstroTurf to legitimize fake news regime after 2016 us elections where substantial percent of population stopped drinking the kooliad.
