A little additional info on Austria: Neutrality is not part of the Austrian constitution, it is just a law in constitutional rank. What´s the difference you may ask? Being a law in constitutional rank, it means neutrality could be removed with a 2/3 majority in parliament. If it would be a part of the constitution, it would need a referendum. So the reason why Austria is still neutral is not the constitution, but the lack of political will and because free-riding worked out quite well in the past decades.

Bulgarian here, I don't think the fires and explosions at weapon facilities in Bulgaria were due to Russian agents. Those routinely blow up because they are grossly mismanaged and basic safety protocols are ignored. More often than not they're not even guarded, especially the depots for expired munitions, so if a fire breaks out there's no one on site to put it out or call the fire department. The same kind of incompetence and corruption that exists in Russia is very much present here too. Ukrainian soldiers have complained about munitions supplied by Bulgaria and I can definitely see why.

[@RealPolitik-dy4it]

Not to mention the fires and explosions at weapons production facilities. These are most likely the result of them ramping up capacity without ramping up the necessary maintenance. Workers working overtime is also a safety hazard when dealing with explosive materials. One spark, and that’s it.

[@chartreux1532]

Luckily those US-tier Protests aren't very effective nor important in most of European Countries because for Example in Germany, Poland, Italy, Hungary etc. we don't have a big History of Colonisation nor Slavery, and those of us who had Colonies, had them for a short Time. Which is why Black People and Racial Divides are not a Topic in most of European Countries outsides of the UK and France. So those Tactics would never work here, no matter how hard they try. That said, those "Anti-Nuclear Protests" were sadly very effective in certain Countries where "Racial Topics" didn't work. Germany especially.

They have stated openly that it is their dearest wish to do to the world what they have done to my country. They make no secret of it. I spent thirty years of my life on my knees. Then I got up and ran. This was the only way I could protest against the system. Are you surprised, my dear Western friend, that I did not demonstrate against the KGB while I was living there? Well, there is something which surprises me, too. In your own beautiful country, the KGB, that monstrous organisation, is hard at work at this very moment, the Soviet Communist Party is subsidising a horde of paid hacks and crackpots. Soviet Military Intelligence is sending members of its diversionary units to visit your country, so that they can practise parachuting on to your native soil. The aim of all this activity is, quite simply, to bring you to your knees. -Suvorov V. Inside the Soviet Army "I want to warn Americans, As a people, you are very naive about Russia and its intentions. You believe because the Soviet Union no longer exists, Russia is now your friend. It isn't, and I can show you how the SVR [formerly KGB] is trying to destroy the U.S. even today and even more than the KGB did during the Cold War." -Spymaster, double agent and Russian defector Sergei Tretyakov America has been penetrated by Russian spies. The American mass media, politics, education and business have been "influenced" by Russian agents. There are those who are so damaged within themselves, that they seek the destruction of their own country. And so, the problem of confronting Russia's war preparations entails a larger problem. It is a problem we cannot deal with. It is the problem of a large and emotionally committed fifth column of deluded individuals. Poisonous ideas have wormed their way into our system, so that the enemy's ideology has become the catechism of the coming generation. -JR Nyquist

The biggest thing that these arson and graffiti are trying to accomplish is a kind of international astroturfing. For those unfamiliar with the term, it’s a play on the term grass roots activism. Grass roots activism refers to a kind of spontaneous, bottom-up, social movement that emerges at the local community level and are usually self-organized by local community members instead of professional activists. Astroturfing is when a movement tries to give the appearance of this but is actually sponsored and coordinated by an external actor. We’ve seen a lot of this in US politics in recent years with people being paid by companies and groups to give coached or outright fabricated testimony at local government meetings. In this case, Russia is trying to convince European politicians that there is domestic opposition to support for Ukraine where none might exist.

The so called Crypto-scandal is a result of this treaty, as the Gretag/Omnisec never-be-a-scandal, the Tinner-scandal, or the forced (!) purchase of the F-11, F-18 and F-35.

Local authorities decided not to prosecute Rheinmetall, and the Dept of Labour decided not to make their report on the incident public. In November 2021 a fire broke out at the same facility . Fortunately nobody was injured. Apparently it was caused by an electrical fault in a light fitting, which caused melted material from a light fitting to fall onto and ignite stored material. Although the facility is still in operation, there is a groundswell of local negative sentiment towards the facility and calls from various parties to shut it down. Coincidence? I think not!

I think the characterization in the video of the leaked secret call in Germany is a bit inaccurate. Basically, it seems that one participant, who was in Singapore at the time, used a compromised computer, allowing the Russians to record him (as implied by some random Windows system sounds being very present in the leaked video). Importantly, it seems that the Russians only accidentally stumbled upon the "juicy" information about Taurus. Also, (at least officially), the decision not to send Taurus was already made at that time (although I suppose one can argue that this made it more difficult to publicly reverse the decision at a later date). Also, the German defense minister made a public statement in protection of the involved soldiers, with the implication that he is strongly against "sacrificing his best men to manipulative Russian games", so importantly: The 'hacked' call likely had no detrimental effect on German support for Ukraine, as all official statements are very clear on that. There are also some other interesting, although, minor details. Specifically, it appears that the situation was not the result of one "single major slipup", but instead a combination of multiple, but by itself rather minor, slipups: - Someones notebook was apparently compromised (very likely the person in Singapore). - The call itself only had the classification of "confidential" rather than "secret", so overall relatively few precautions against (potential) hacks were done. As in: There might be some issues with the guidelines on what to classify as "secret" and what as "confidential" (but since the talk did not include any *actually* sensitive information, it wasn't necessarily bad judgment to classify the call as only "confidential") - There might have been some usability issues with the encryption software (and perhaps some security shortcomings as well, but that part is unproven, or not public knowledge, afaik - imho most people who blamed the software were just looking for something to blame).

This has been going on for decades, glad the world starts to notice more. Russia is not a normal international player, they are a troll abusing the systems.

At the risk of saying something unpopular, it seems fair that any nation should have an opportunity to destroy weapons that are being sent, to be used against that nation. I mean, has the USA ever faced charges in an international criminal court for its actions against the "Ho Chi Minh Trail?" Same thing, isn't it? The USA hit the Ho Chi Minh trail in Cambodia and Laos a LOT harder than Russia is hitting any stash locations in Europe. Bottom Line - It was fair game for the USA to try to disrupt the flow of weapons and soldiers along the Ho Chi Minh trail, even when that trail was outside of Vietnam. It's fair game for Russia to try to disrupt the flow of weapons sent to be used against Russia. Anything else is hypocrisy! edit - I don't actually support Russia. I just HATE hypocrisy and when it comes to war, there's a LOT of hypocrisy going around. For example - At the end of WWII, only Germany and Japan had to face ANY kind of repercussions for war crimes. Even though the USSR, the USA and the UK were up to their necks in the blood of innocents, having knowingly committed numerous war crimes against the Germans/ Japanese, no one ever had to face any accountability for their actions.
