How does the murder and attempted murder of former Russian security services agents on UK soil sound to you, using 'weapons' that even the most sophisticated organised criminal just can't get?
They're an enemy. Just because they aren't recruiting people in to throwing on a suicide IED, and walking in to shopping centre, doesn't make them less of a threat. The UK needs to equip its military with that threat in mind.
Russia is definitely a threat, no doubt.
Are they credible, not really.
Are they likely to do anything significant, I REALLY doubt it.
Am I worried about them, not in the slightest.
Ask me about the big country to the South of Russia....
Different league and will be the single biggest threat to the entire world and a true existential threat to the West within the next 2 decades. They scare me a LOT!
