The deteriorating state of affairs here over who poses what threat to us is made worse now by a statement from the Director of Russia’s FSB, Alexander Bortnikov.
According to TASS, a Russian news network, Bortnikov called out recent comments by Sir Richard Moore regarding the defection of Russian citizens to MI6 to serve the interests of the UK.
“Mr. Moore is perhaps aware of what such calls may imply, given the problems in politics, the economy and society facing England itself and numerous ill-wishers of the British empire.”
This is bad news for the UK. It’s because we rely on good things being said about us by foreign states. The fact this has been declared means that we may have more problems in future.
However, the comments are purely one-sided. Russia itself is a broken up federation of former Soviet states. It suffers strongly with riddled crime and other inhumanities that Russians can’t overcome.
They barely get any help. Putin’s authoritarian leadership structure is largely impervious to complaints. It puts out wise words to the Russian people but it doesn’t back these up with firm action.
