It has now appears as a minor news item on the homepage. The disconnect is just a bit odd!
As for the news it’s self, I’m glad to see Germany calling this out properly. Rather than just some BS of ‘Possible Russian influence’.

I would be surprised is this sort of thing is not going on in all of the countries of the NATO alliance and have been going of since before brexit.

Oh, it’s beeing going to loads. But very few countries seem to be willing to formally and properly call it out.
Just look at Nathan Gill, the former Reform UK leader in Wales, getting 10 and a half years for taking bribes from the Russians. He won’t be the only one.

This is great, but it’s also nothing new. We’ve been saying the same thing for months already.

I thought, after the last attack on the RJ that it was to be escorted by a Typhoon or 2!

Budget cuts probably mean that the RJ is remotely supervised by the Typhoons; the same way cadets are remotely supervised on DofE expeds.

We all know that what is there and what is announced to be there are not necessarily the same.
