Midnight full moon backyard October, Canada 17C

Sitting on my porch 8pm October. 24 Celsius, pleasant breeze, cold beer, smooth joint. Neighborhood is silent, the breeze scrapes the leaves along the road. My flower garden whispers. The full moon shines. #Bitcoin #nostr #Waldeinsamkeit

UK ‘furious’ over failed Russia strategy – spy agency

London has failed to defeat or isolate Moscow and is now preparing a new provocation, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has said

This kindof stuff just gives me the good feels on a Monday morning lol UK ‘furious’ over failed Russia strategy – spy agency Britain has neither defeated nor isolated the country and is planning a new provocation, Moscow’s intelligence service has said Britain is “furious” over its failure to bring about the “strategic defeat” of Russia and is preparing a new “provocation” in response to battlefield gains in the Ukraine conflict, Moscow's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has warned. In a statement on Monday, the SVR claimed that a group of Russian nationals fighting for Ukraine has arrived in the UK for sabotage training. According to the agency, the group is meant to attack either a Ukrainian navy ship or a foreign civilian vessel in a European port, after which London would accuse Moscow of orchestrating the attack. The service also noted that the group would receive Chinese-made underwater equipment, which would later be presented as “proof” of Beijing’s support for Russia. London expects Europe’s “Russophobic” elites to use the “fake” narrative to justify further military aid to Ukraine and greater militarization against Russia, the spy agency suggested. Ukraine plotting false flag in EU – MoscowREAD MORE: Ukraine plotting false flag in EU – Moscow The Russian leadership considers the UK one of the most hostile Western states; relations between the two countries have only worsened since the escalation of Kiev’s conflict with Moscow in 2022. London has imposed multiple rounds of sanctions targeting Russian banks, energy exports, and individuals, while expanding military aid to include long-range Storm Shadow missiles and training for Ukrainian forces. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last month accused NATO and EU countries of declaring a “real war” on Russia and directly participating in the Ukraine conflict. British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has fired back, dismissing Lavrov’s statement as “false fantasy world distortions.” Moscow expelled two British diplomats in March, accusing them of espionage and “subversive activities,” a move that London subsequently denounced as baseless. The UK responded by revoking the accreditation of a Russian diplomat and accusing the Kremlin of deliberately trying to force the closure of the British embassy in Moscow. The UK discouraged early peace negotiations between Moscow and Kiev in 2022, according to David Arakhamia, head of Vladimir Zelensky’s parliamentary bloc and former chief negotiator, who said then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Kiev to abandon the talks, a claim Johnson has denied.
