It's pretty funny the MI6 did it. The war is huge beneficial to the US but not necessarily to UK. So MI6 along with other EU country spy agencies have already been brainwashed by CIA.

It's turtle all the way down.

The UK is just happy the EU gets hosed up.

As much as I want Russia to lose, it is very funny if Liz Truss was the one that ordered that pipeline bombing because they wanted to get back at the EU for letting them leave it.

The propaganda of Bandera being a literal Nazi asset (who eventually pissed them off by insistently demanding for a free Ukraine, cleansed of Poles, Jews, Romani, etc.)? :thunk:

lol I love a private sector partnership

quote:

Sir Jeremy said he supported the sea-change of declassifying certain intelligence, and using it to "pre-bunk" a narrative, but much of the world had not completely bought into the argument.

The GCHQ head, who was appointed by then foreign secretary Boris Johnson in 2017, said conversations about open intelligence were important - and they have to include non-government and intelligence voices.

For this reason, he added, the private sector had played an important part in the conflict - whether it was satellite imagery from private providers, which could confirm the intelligence claims about troop build-ups, or the work of companies like Microsoft in providing cyber-defence for Ukraine.

Semper Shitpost Ubique

This is what I was saying about the technical problem not being more complicated than with Buzz Bombs, the propaganda angle about the same, but Ukraine doesn’t seem to have established a flak barrage or free fire zone, no balloons, it’s all very ad hoc.

I suppose Ukraine could just have aircraft on BARCAP, AAA batteries on the approaches to Kiev, but unglamorous solutions don’t make headlines.

The main thing that stopped V-1s was their own mechanical and guidance failures. Secondary to that, passive defenses. Tertiary, active defenses.

I'd say the air avenues of approach aren't really comparable, either. The UK and the flight paths from the continent to London are extremely limited and tiny compared to the multi-azimuth attack vectors Russia enjoys vs the breadth of Ukraine.

*note - those ~50,000 deaths were calculated by estimating how many babies SHOULD have been born during this war but weren't, and then assigning blame to Putin

Antwerp also stopped a couple thousand V-bombs (both V1 and V2) with their port infrastructure, residential buildings and civilians.
