How Russian Spies are Attacking Europe

There is a spy war between Russia and Europe right now that no one is talking about. NATO the EU and the Kremlin are fighting an all out hybrid war right now. Assassinations, arsons, and disinformation are central to Moscow's attempt to limit aid to Ukraine.

Lessening your support for Ukraine because Russian agents destroyed a warehouse in your nation is so counter intuitive to me I will never understand this passive mindset.

"Nothing is confirmed until Moscow denies it."

Rheinmetall is not just "a major manufacturer of 155mm shells" - they are *the* manufacturer of 155mm shells: According to some estimates, they will produce more 155mm shells in 2024 than the entire USA (about 400-500k). In the following years, they plan to expand to 1M/year, but at that point, the USA will be further ahead at around 2M-3M.

Whoever wrote the "free real estate" joke into the script is a genius

3 explosions in explosives' warehouses and related infrastructure in Bulgaria in the last month alone. Again.

In Finland we have seen a number of break-ins and break-in attempts to municipal water service facilities. And the way Finnish secret police fights them was to inform citizens that this is happening, which increases attention of the citizens. More eyes on the streets, when people plan their evening jogging route.. they are more likely to go and check those places visually.

The 80s had anti-nuclear weapons protests. Nowadays, protests are held around racial, religious, and politically polarized ideologies. Some honest, some contrived for destabilization. Good call, Cappy.

Chris looks good in a suit, but the tie looks like it came from a school uniform. Do I need to up my Patreon contribution to the Tie Monitor level?

This is part of why you have to make sure the impoverished class is taken care of well enough that they are not obligated towards criminality and that they feel patriotic, rather than taking that patriotism for granted: a criminal class quickly become the tool of foreign adversaries. In other words: poverty is a national security issue.

Well, 3 supposed attacks on water supplies of barracks in Germany, the Luftwaffe Air Base in Köln, a barracks in Mechernich and a NATO base in Geilenkirchen.
All of them have been declared safe and all-clear but you can’t deny the fact, that a stranger person was seen next to water supply buildings in Köln and also a person in Geilenkirchen and that there was a new hole in a fence next to water supplies in Mechernich.

All that happened in the last 3 days.

[profusemoose]

the fake click presentation moment is A+ very funny segment.

[Tamde]

Instead of laying low & staying away from the local Russian diaspora, Kuzminov doubled down & placed a large bull's eye on himself, knowing all too well that Russian agents are out to get him. I understand why he did it. After all, what's the point of having all that money if you can't flex & show off? No one to blame for his demise but Kuzminov himself.

7:33 Cappy, your sign says "BARLEY Credible..."
And that makes its creditably even funnier, especially with the CIB-style wreath around T&P's insignia next to it!

[Juho-ufsi]

we had a telephone mast cut down and multiple break ins in water treatment facilities in finland this summer, nothing stolen. i bet things will be ramping up.

[deaddocreallydeaddoc]

People everywhere need to understand that this war is not limited to Ukraine and Russia. Wars never

[maxbauer]

Austria: Fire at the major oil and gas refinery of the country that shut the plant down for a bit. Right after Austria started talking about getting out of gas contracts with Russia and being more openly critical about Russias actions in Ukraine.

Also a hydrogen storage facility elsewhere in the country suddenly blew up.

[lucashansen]

This week there were 2 "Incidents" at water pumping stations near german army facilities. Drinking water was contaminated with "something" for whole towns. Sooo.. something is going on.

[martinstadlbauer]

Greetings from Austria Christ. The part of the video on our country was really good. One more thing to add. Austria receives well over 90% of its natural gas from Russia and still has a longterm contract with Gazprom about that issue. Might help to explain why the situation is as it is today

[heyhow]

7:50 to add to this list. In Romania there were explosions at a arms facory that is sending aid to Ukraine. The owner of the factory also survived a assasination attempt multiple years ago.

The best spy series ever is Burn Notice... Hands down, no comparison out there.
