PM : In 1938, the #Czech people and army wanted to fight Hitler, but president Beneš single-handedly decided otherwise before fleeing to London, demoralising the nation for decades to come. Not so with the 🇺🇦 leader now.

Confirmation, if it were needed, that the US is fine with Iran building drones as long as they only kill people in Ukraine, but if they are sent against Israel suddenly something must be done.

On Saturday I wrote for the Independent on how Russia's campaign of sabotage and disruption across Europe was rapidly accelerating. On Monday morning, before the piece went live, I updated it with new escalation from over the weekend. QED.

Overall, the whole sorry story supports the view that with or without Trump, the highest levels of decision-making in the US suffer from a pathological reluctance to confront Russia and present it with consequences for its actions.
More, much more, in the book.

Another consistent point is apparent unwillingness to deal with the issue. Mil and intel personnel know the problem and suffer the consequences: but their fight for official recognition by their seniors is depressingly well documented.

But the common factor to all of these attacks - whether against US personnel or those of the US's close allies - was the victims being told to keep quiet about it. Cases like this that become widely known are the exception.

Russia's favourite bugbear, the 'Anglo-Saxons', seem unsurprisingly to be the prime target. US, Canadian staff have been hit by 'Havana Syndrome'. What about the UK? In a 2021 BBC interview Bill Evanina challenged the suggestion no UK personnel have suffered.

One of the few things that startled me when researching 'Russia's War on Everybody' was not the scale of Russian violence against diplomatic, military and intelligence staff of the US and its allies - but the extent of US efforts to conceal it.

Disturbingly, some European journalists (actual real journalists, not “independent journalists”) seem to be writing about the weekend’s political show in Russia as though it were a real election, with genuine numbers that tell us something meaningful about how people feel about Putin.
