Fallout for Russia's spies?

Unconfirmed

Just reported on the BBC website by Gordon Corera -

Reports – still unconfirmed – say two senior officials from the FSB – Russia’s Security Service – have been placed under house arrest.
One of them, it is said, is Sergey Beseda – the head of the 5th Service of the FSB. This department is responsible for intelligence gathering and operations in Ukraine. His team is thought to have been behind plans to install a pro-Moscow government in some kind of coup and may be blamed for the failure to understand the level of opposition in the country.

"It seems that after two weeks of war, Putin finally realised that he was simply misled: the 5th Service, afraid of infuriating the leader, simply supplied him with what he himself wanted to hear," said Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan, two leading experts on Russia’s spy agencies, who first reported that the arrests may have taken place.

The department was also thought to have been building networks of undercover agents ready to be activated when the invasion started. But either they did not exist as promised or failed to have the desired impact.
If the reports of arrest are confirmed, they could be because someone needs to take the fall for the failures or because of some other manoeuvrings.

“If claims of their arrest are correct, this would indicate that Putin is seriously concerned about the FSB’s role in the military campaign and there could be significant changes at senior levels in the FSB,” one Western official said.

A number of supposed letters from anonymous insiders at the FSB have also been circulating on social media painting a bleak picture inside Russian intelligence – these have also not been confirmed but experts think they sound plausible.

And the extent to which the West has been able to gather its own intelligence on Moscow’s plans will also have set alarm bells ringing – leading to fears in Moscow that they might have Western moles inside their ranks or that their communications are being intercepted.

Add to that the fact that Putin very publicly humiliated the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, on the eve of the invasion and you get a sense that beneath the surface of the normally hidden world of Russia’s spies, these are deeply unsettling times.

Robert Malone is on fire. For a guy who voted for Obama 2x, he is as red-pilled as they come. If he is wondering about biowarfare issues, I suspect there is more here than just smoke. Its not exactly his field but its really really close.

It's not that hard to figure out. Ever since this started the US and other NATO countries have been patrolling the skies surrounding the Ukraine & Poland borders.

We have deployed F35s to Lithuania, Estonia & Romania.



We also have F35s, F15s & F16 at RAF Lakenheath as well as a couple of B52s at either Lakenheath or RAF Mildenhall.

As you can see it appears these are armed.




Also of note we also deployed some Apaches to Latvia as well.

I have been closely following the F-35 program for decades and they provide excellent ISR capability. Not sure what the tankers are for but all sorts of sniffers and observers..Gotta be a bonanza for intelligence on Russian systems

This is the most pathetic move to date by Russia. I mean seriously, things are going bad enough for them that they need reinforcements from Syria. And we thought Russia was the #2 military in the world. *cough*

Could you imagine if we rolled into a war we started, then announced HEY WE'RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE JORDAN IS COMING TO HELP US.

Pathetic.

Russia Says It Is Bringing in Middle Eastern Fighters to Join Invasion of Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin says his forces are bringing in fighters from the Middle East to join the widely denounced invasion of Ukraine.

"If you see that there are these people who want of their own accord, not for money, to come to help the people living in Donbas [a separatist region in Eastern Ukraine], then we need to give them what they want and help them get to the conflict zone," Putin said on Friday, according to Reuters.

The move not only allows the country to expand its manpower in what is shifting into a grinding battle for control of Ukrainian territory, it gives Russian officials evidence of a counter-narrative to those non-Ukrainians that are flocking to fight against them.

Say what you want about Malone but he is not Tucker. He is a self described former progressive who never was political in the past and voted for and donated to Obama. He is also unquestionably a serious biochemist/virologist with impeccable credentials. Could he be wrong? sure but you cant just wish him or his arguments away.

People like Lawgator and Septic know more about anything science related than Malone because they watch the "news". Joe Scarborough wouldn't lie to them.

Ukraine Worked With Democrats Against Trump in 2016 to Stop Putin. The Bet Backfired Badly.

In the meantime, a comprehensive account of documented Ukrainian collusion – including efforts to assist the FBI in its 2016 probe of Manafort – is pieced together here for the first time. It draws from an archive of previously unreported records generated from a secret Federal Election Commission investigation of the Democratic National Committee that includes never-before-reviewed sworn affidavits, depositions, contracts, emails, text messages, legal findings and other documents from the case. RealClearInvestigations also examined diplomatic call transcripts, White House visitor logs, lobbying disclosure forms, congressional reports and closed-door congressional testimony, as well as information revealed by Ukrainian and Democratic officials in social media postings, podcasts and books.

Our national political strings have no doubt gone bound our borders. Sickening. No doubt the narrative for the past few years is some focus on Ukraine. Maybe coincidence, but Bizarre to say the least.

This is a case of "is he is, or is he isn't". The post I was responding to said Trump was not discussing the war in Ukraine. Personally I think Trump should ignore the topic unless he runs again and it comes up and he can't dodge it.
