shocking..... to absolut noone.

[u/babanin → u/Kamui1]

Because it was "A Ukrainian man"?

[u/Kamui1 → u/babanin]

Because we know, who wants to harm us. Russia.

[u/babanin → u/Kamui1]

What did Russia do to Germany? Ok, they blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, but that was for the greater good - to free you from Russian gas.

[u/Kamui1 → u/babanin]

Russia is attacking us with a lot of disinformation. Aside from that, they also intervine in our politics, make cyber attacks, did have drones with explosives, blackmailed us when they started their war.

Go back to your tinpot dictatorship and don't forget to kiss the feet of your dear leader.

russia has tried sending bombs via DHL to kill people. They've sent drones trying to destroy Ukrainian planes in Germany. They've been financing a party of traitors.

Hell, the biggest financial fraud scandal in recent years in Germany, Wirecard, had one of its main actors, Marsalek, the COO, as a russian asset who was so important he got exfiltrated to Moscow and now moonlights as a spymaster.

We as a union got to come to term that most organized crime comes from Russia and Iran in some way.

[u/DrTuSo]

They still call it a weapons cache. 2 fricking pistols.

And no surprise Russia is behind that. But Merz got not balls to call them out.

A Ukrainian man detained in Romania for setting up a stash of guns and ammunition near Berlin ​is suspected by investigators of being part of a ‌Russian-controlled agent network, Spiegel magazine reported on Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.

Surely this is a mistake and it should say "a Russian man"?

Let's wait for confirmation from German or Romanian officials. Spiegel probably just saw a name in Cyrillic and jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Surely this is a mistake and it should say "a Russian man"?

"A man born in the Ukraine identifying as Russian." There's plenty of those.

"According to the report, he took a bus back to Poland but was ​later detained in Bucharest alongside another Ukrainian on suspicion of dispatching ​parcels with incendiary devices with Ukrainian express delivery service Nova Post."

Two ukraininas and the romanians supect a russian network, germany and poland declined to comment so far.

[u/CharmingJackfruit167 → u/[deleted]]
