BOND'S FAULT

The fatal flaws of the Ukrainian intelligence services SBU would be responsible for Russia's entry into Ukraine and suggest further failures to come, but who runs the SBU?

By Sir Charlattam

When someone wants to take the blame for something, they will accuse someone else, even if it is notoriously wrong. Governments do the same thing all the time, regardless of nationality, and that includes the British government. We can say that this is part of human nature, so we do not apply it to a particular nationality. A few days ago an American media report charged that Russia's success in its incursion into Ukraine was due to the work of Ukrainian SBU double agents who in turn served the FSB and the Russian SVR.

As quoted in this article (https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-double-agent-russian-invasion-fsb-intelligence-operatives/ ), the Americans are surprised by these Russian "moles" and even somehow try to argue that Moscow's penetration into Ukraine predated the launch of Special Operation Z, as if this was the reason for the capture of important strategic points in the country. Clever and witty indeed, but this argument fails to explain Washington's position and the interference that the Americans and their partners have been having inside Ukraine.

If Russian intelligence was operating under Kiev's nose, why did NATO-controlled counter-intelligence fail to disrupt the Russian network?

It is worth remembering that when the Warsaw Pact was dissolved in July 1991, not only did NATO remain intact, but Washington continued its creeping advance eastwards. They were obviously already discreetly in Ukraine establishing contacts, but they were there. At that very moment both the Americans and the MI6 boys set their sights on Russia because Ukraine has always been the strategically important point of penetration into Russian domains. Do you think the Russians didn't know that, why would they allow their Western partners to play dirty in their backyard?

This makes it clear that the issue in Ukraine did not start on 24 February 2022 or even after the coup d'état of February 2014, or even after the so-called colour revolution of November 2004. All these are just episodes of the same cause and executed by the same hand that takes us back to that 1991 when the Soviet Union was crumbling and I would even dare to think that the first steps were already being taken after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 which by the way did not fall because of the magic words of Ronald Reagan.

Of course, from London, our parliamentary politicians looked down from the lectern and, like servile seconds, held out their hands to a George H. Bush who, embarking on the final stages of a planned war in the Persian Gulf, declared on 11 September 1990 that a "New World Order" was being born.

So in London they immediately turned to Washington for instructions and cried out What can we do for you? In what they do best.

Intrigue and deception is the Foreign Office's best known business or rather, they run that business as it is run by the boys in MI6, MI5 and resources of the SAS and SBS (Naval Intelligence Division) who in turn are subservient to the games of the American CIA. I'm not saying anything new that they don't know in Whitehall, let alone Vauxhall. All the talents were supposedly put on standby under NATO's wing but were never disconnected. Indeed, during the romance of Perestroika that disconnection was partial and apparent as many sections continued to operate in the breakaway republics that sought to break away from Moscow's administrative and political control at a time when political and economic crisis was devouring Russia. Chechnya and Dagestan were specific examples of such operations, supporting first the pro-independence and then the Islamists who - despite being labelled terrorists - were sheltered in London.

The dangers to peace were not extinguished by Fleming's James Bond and certainly not by the real-life archetype of the British agent operating for governmental shenanigans. On the contrary, what a boon to stability and world peace British intelligence gave British intelligence by cooperating for decades (and secretly) with neo-Nazi groups and mafia criminals in Eastern Europe with the fixation of screwing Russia. While the government propaganda machine was intoxicating the minds of Western citizens with a tuxedoed Bond and an unstirred milkshake drink who didn't muss his hair when fighting, the real, silent, shadowy British agent was contacting sinister Ukrainian ex-Nazis and their puppies who jumped the fence to work on our side against the USSR.

With the collaboration of reformer Mikhail Gorbachev and the subsequent ramshackle management of Boris Yeltsin, the opportunity to fragment and carve up the spoils of an impoverished Russia came within a millimetre of being achieved. Through the cracks of that fragmentation crept MI6 and the CIA working tirelessly to achieve their goals that were not and never will be for the benefit of the Russians. Bond's cunning and charm were supposed to have opened the doors of the Kremlin itself to Britain. Why did they fail to achieve those aims? No doubt it was the appearance of Vladimir Putin.

There are no manners or glitter with today's agents operating abroad. The reality is more cruel and revealing than any spy movie and the reality is that there was never any glamour. The dirty deeds and intelligence methodology did not, do not and will not appear to have anything democratic about them. Russia knows how far the British can go in their games and Syria (with the use of chemical weapons) was a field of glaring evidence of this.

Today MI6 is refining its tactics to dangerous levels to play dirty in the midst of the NATO-Russia struggle. There is little difference between one of them and mere football hooligans. The problem is that they serve the British government supposedly for the security and defence of the UK, but in reality we remain the caboose of White House decisions and NATO plans. At the end of the day, when it all goes wrong and things turn against us, who will Downing Street hold responsible?
