A FAKE OP IN LEIPZIG?

Why was the failed

drone attack at the German airport not carried out by the Russians, and

who might be behind it?

 

By Sir Charlattam 

As I often say, things do not happen by chance, and even less so in war. The alleged Russian drone attack on Leipzig Airport, situated north-west of the German city of the same name, has taken place in circumstances far too suspicious to be taken at face value. We had just witnessed a succession of political and military events surrounding the war in Ukraine that directly involved London and Moscow, further straining relations between the two. President Vladimir Putin, having been fairly restrained in his responses to NATO’s acts of piracy against merchant ships and to the undeniable support for the SBU and the involvement of British advisers in terrorist attacks on Russian territory, made it abundantly clear in recent interviews that his patience had run out and that from now on there would be tit-for-tat retaliation.

The alleged attack or rather, the failed attack by supposedly Russian drones on a Ukrainian Antonov An-124 cargo aircraft, which was in an area of the airport, is shrouded in a number of curious circumstances that make it highly suspicious. According to information from the German authorities, the drone’s explosives failed to detonate due to a fault in the detonator. Rather than an ‘attack’, it resembles a staged production, full of suspense and mystery, in which the public is led to identify a specific perpetrator.

The statements by the German Minister of the Interior, Alexander Dobrindt, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Johann Wadephul, blaming Russia for this with exaggerated conviction, already put the intentions and veracity of those statements into context.

Over recent months, at the behest of Russophobic sectors in Europe, restrictive and monitoring measures targeting Russian companies within the EU have been pushed through the European Parliament; these have gradually come to target ordinary individuals simply on the basis of their ethnicity and/or Russian citizenship. There is no doubt about these intentions and their clear xenophobic bias, fuelled by the pro-American political line (whose ideological core lies with the neocons) to which the highest-ranking European officials such as Ursula von der Leyen, Mark Rutte and Kaja Kallas, to name the most prominent, and of course our very own ‘king’ Andy Burnham  subscribe.

The bizarre incident in Leipzig has given further ammunition to the die-hard Russophobic factions in Germany, starting with Chancellor Merz himself, who, after ordering the closure of the Russian Consulate-General in Bonn and barring entry to any Russian citizen, was soon backed up in his accusations – for which there is not the slightest evidence by the current British Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, who has already demonstrated (with his eloquent display of Russophobia) that he is a proponent of the dirty ‘the worse, the better’ policy.

Following this pattern, we should not rule out the possibility that the incident was staged, particularly at a time when the Russian president has described NATO members as ‘imperial sharks’ especially the British and has promised retaliation for attacks in international waters against the ‘shadow fleet’ which, according to President Putin, have damaged nearly 100 vessels.

It is quite possible that the masterminds at the Foreign Office and their lackeys at MI6 saw this as the perfect moment to sow and deepen suspicions against Russia and what better way than a false-flag operation? With this, the masterminds needed only a small spark to create an incident that would attempt to justify a Russian attack on a NATO member and thus trigger Article 5 of the treaty.

As someone once said, in a world of smoke and mirrors, anything goes and nothing is real. Now then, were the Germans aware of this, or were they duped?

For Moscow, and particularly for Vladimir Putin, keeping a cool head something he has amply demonstrated he is capable of is, at this juncture, essential to avoid playing into the hands of the warmongers who share common interests in Washington, London and Brussels. Not least now that Russian troops are systematically cutting off both naval and land supply lines, and intelligence reports are illustrated by dozens of videos showing Geranium drones reducing supply lorries with civilian number plates to rubble as they attempt to resupply troops on a front line that is already a sieve.

What’s more, whilst this is the state of affairs on the military front, let us not overlook the situation of Volodymyr Zelensky, who behind closed doors is already beginning to feel the pressure not from ordinary Ukrainians on the street, who are fed up with their sons and husbands being abducted and sent to a meat grinder, but from his advisers and commanders (particularly those from the GUR), who in turn answer to the Vauxhall advisers as well as the MI8 military and other special branches, and these in turn to the Americans from the CIA and strategic military intelligence who are the ones really calling the shots in Kiev.

In conclusion, there is no doubt that the Leipzig farce was just that: an operation delegated to a bunch of amateurs or a task force of incompetents who failed to carry out their assignment. Had they managed to set the Antonov’s fuel alight, the spectacle would undoubtedly have been quite different; and if deaths had resulted, so much the better. Even if that had happened, there is no doubt we would have seen Burnham and the Defence Minister at a press conference calling for further sanctions against Russia. One final thought, if I may, gentlemen: if this could be done at an airport with the level of security that Leipzig has, what might they be capable of at one with less security?
