Summary

European officials report up to 100 Russian-linked “hybrid attacks” in 2023, including cyber-attacks, sabotage, and espionage.

NATO's Brussels meeting focused on countering these threats, with measures like intelligence sharing and critical infrastructure protection.

Germany warns of heightened risks, including assassination plots, undersea cable sabotage, and incendiary devices. NATO may invoke Article 5 if attacks escalate.

Russia’s reliance on unconventional methods, after losing diplomatic spies in Ukraine war fallout, has intensified tensions. Analysts warn the West’s delayed response has left it vulnerable to Moscow’s increasingly bold tactics.

Countries need to ban entry of any Russian citizens. Full stop.

They are a pariah state, and should be treated like one.

There's no way to know for sure, I imagine, but I do hope our intelligence agencies are counterattacking. Defense is great and all, but sometimes some offense becomes appropriate.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
