Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.

Summary

MI6 Chief Sir Richard Moore revealed a “staggeringly reckless” Russian sabotage campaign across Europe, targeting infrastructure and sowing fear to undermine Western support for Ukraine.

Suspected incidents include a DHL cargo plane crash in Lithuania, undersea internet cable cuts, and fires at facilities in Germany, Poland, and the UK.

Moore emphasized the broader threat to European security if Russia succeeds in Ukraine, warning of emboldened autocracies like China and North Korea.

He highlighted covert Western actions countering Russia and reinforced the importance of UK-France-US intelligence collaboration against Putin’s “morally bankrupt axis.”

lmao..

Russia's methodology is waaay insaner than we Westerners would imagine..

The ONLY reason that nukes haven't been used against Ukraina is because .. lower-down officers haven't authorized it.

They've got a bizarre system whereby there's a "secrets officer" in every .. platoon is it? .. to make-certain that EVERYbody in their military is kept in the dark, throughout the entire hierarchy,

AND THEN they have it so that the lower-downs decide whether nukes are used..

Sargeants? lower?

So, they make absolutely certain that the people making such decisions cannot-possibly have the information they need.

Russian military doctrine.

WE OWE THE RUSSIAN OFFICERS WHO HAVE REFUSED TO USE NUKES, MANY OF OUR LIVES, now!

Same as when that Russian nuke-sub had a malfunction, & a Russian officer refused to contribute to nuke-everything, so we owe HIM our lives, too!

Just because we're saner .. doesn't mean that our-method is somehow normal among their military..

& saner is a relative thing, right?

I wonder what percentage of humankind will look back, in 16 years, wondering how we could have been complaining about our condition now, when it all went to hell, then ( I expect WW3 to go completely-bonkers in about 2040, but non-nuke, as I expect the trashing of GPS++ to happen, before then: Kessler Syndrome should render ICBMs unusable, along with all satnav )
