In a recent Paris gathering Richard Moore MI6ʼs top-man shared some eye-opening facts: Russia runs a big under-the-radar program to mess with European countries while using nuclear talk to scare Ukraineʼs helpers
The intel-chief explained how Putinʼs plan isnt just about Ukraine – its about making all of Europe less safe. “Our security (British French European and transatlantic) will face real danger‚“ he pointed out: this matches what other spy-agencies are seeing
- China might copy this approach
- North-Korea could get more bold
- Iranʼs actions might get worse
Recent intel shows Russia doing lots of not-so-nice stuff across Euro-Atlantic area – cyber-attacks fire-starting and other bad things (which Moscow says it didnt do). The UKʼs home-security boss said about month ago that GRU – Russias military spies want to create big-time problems
Looking at US-UK team-work Moore mentioned working with Trump before: “I worked well with first Trump group on safety stuff and can do it again.“ US spy-folks think Russia will do more sneaky things in Europe to make West stop helping Kiev
The cost-benefit thing is clear here – Moore explained that yes helping Ukraine costs money but not helping would cost way more in the long-run. Western intel-chiefs are now team-up to watch what Russia does next
