The FEAR level is being ramped up in media propaganda now, likely in order to bolster waning public support for backing the Ukies in the neighboring NATO countries. How much the Ruskies are actually DOING right now of this sort of sabotage is an open question. It quite difficult to PROVE any of these supposed acts of sabotage were committed by Ruskie "sleeper" cells supposedly in place since the days of the old USSR and Cold War. Those sleepers are pretty old guys by now, unless of course you figure they had kids who have taken over the job from mom and dad and sit waiting for coded instructions to come in over the shortwave radio hidden in the basement. lol.
Besides old fashioned short wave and Rip Van Winkle saboteurs, the media propagandists also postulate Social Media is being used to recruit Gig-job saboteurs who will set fires at the local Mall for a few hundred Euros dropped into their crypto wallet online. The one thing they don't mention is the possibility some of these supposed acts of sabotage are false flags executed by their own black ops security services in order to generate fear as they are blamed of the Ruskies.
This is not to say Vlad is not doing some of this, I mean he IS ex-KGB after all and if the operations had political or logistical value, I'm sure he'd consider using them. I just don't see what that political or logistical value is right now to do so, I don't think he needs to do this to reduce support for the war among Belgians or Germans. At the moment, this type of action does more harm than good as far as his side is concerned. REAL sabotage where munitions production or ammo dumps are sabotaged yes, random fires and telecommunication disruptions not so much. It's hardly "unfair" war tactics though. What do people think he will do if Ruskie assets are confiscated by Western banksters, sit on his duff and do nothing?
Definitely with both the trade war escalating with the Chinese and increasing propaganda surrounding the war in Ukraine, the geopolitical drift toward an expansion of hostility between the major powers has increased. The only question is how it will evolve and what forms the conflict will take.
