Russia is not a friendly state. Its contact is with its worst criminals. It only negotiates with cartels, kingpins, terrorists, and other unsavoury characters. This makes it a bent, corrupt, riddled country with little justice or political legitimacy.
In our case, its extreme behaviour is hostile to our needs, or aims. There are frequent encounters with its operatives here. They’re a part of a complex network. They abuse, agitate, and sabotage in huge numbers.
Their technique and tactics are unsettling. Most of it has to do with how we think and feel in ourselves. It affects our decisions. It may change the path of our lives if we choose to let it. It’s possible to resist.
The intelligence services are at work tirelessly to make sure it’s dealt with properly. Some people have to cope. Until it’s resolved, the fight is there to stay strong. Our loyalty is the strongest feeling we’ve got.
