Russia Aimed to Start Fires Aboard Cargo & Passenger Flights Heading to US & Canada

[Social Media]

 

Recent reports suggest that Russia may have been involved in a covert plot to send incendiary devices on flights bound for the United States and Canada. According to the *Wall Street Journal* (WSJ), Western security officials believe that devices ignited in Germany and the United Kingdom in July were part of a Russian operation aimed at testing the feasibility of setting fires aboard international flights.

 

The incidents in question took place at DHL logistics hubs in Leipzig, Germany, and Birmingham, United Kingdom. Explosions occurred in July, sparking a swift investigation into those responsible. A spokesperson from DHL Express later told CNN that the company is “aware of two recent incidents involving shipments in our network,” and confirmed that they are “cooperating with the relevant authorities” to understand what happened and prevent similar occurrences. The incendiary devices in question were reported to be electric massagers containing a magnesium-based flammable substance. These packages were reportedly sent from Lithuania to the UK, seemingly as part of a test run to examine how such materials could be smuggled onto planes bound for North America.

 

The WSJ also reached out to Russia for comment on the alleged plot. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, dismissed the accusations, stating, “We have never heard any official accusations” and referred to the report as another example of “traditional unsubstantiated insinuations from the media.”

 

Meanwhile, Polish authorities recently announced the arrest of four individuals suspected of participating in international sabotage activities, while an additional two suspects remain under an international search warrant. According to a statement from Poland’s national prosecutor’s office, this group was involved in sending “parcels containing camouflaged explosives and dangerous materials” to various countries in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The explosives in these parcels reportedly ignited or detonated spontaneously during land and air transport. Authorities believe the group’s ultimate goal was to assess the transfer channels of these dangerous shipments in order to ultimately direct them toward the United States and Canada.

 

In the UK, a spokesperson from the counter-terrorism police confirmed that they are “investigating an incident at a commercial premises in Midpoint Way” in Birmingham. On July 22, a package reportedly caught fire at the location, though it was quickly contained by staff and the local fire brigade. “There were no reports of any injuries or significant damage caused,” the spokesperson noted.

More like "We ignore any official accusations."

The Putin regime is incapable of truth outside its propaganda.

Russia has nothing but malicious intentions. They are a terrorist state, run by a serial killing desperado. This is a nation so lacking in redeeming qualities. They contributed alot culturally, in past centuries. Now? What are they bringing to the table? How are they of any benefit to mankind? They offer nothing but misery, death, destruction and bad will. 

 

There are a multitude of reasons why very few around the world have sympathy for the Russians. Those reasons are not limited to their serial killing, despot, thieving multi billionaire dictator for life. It is more about their nature, their history as ruthless, homicidal Cossack warriors, and their total lack of manners, and class. Not to mention the dignity, class, decency, civility, and social skills decades of Leninism, Stalinism, and now Putinism has completely  stripped them of. 

 

And of course, the utter failure of their leader. This is a clear case of psychological projection: Putin dreamt and failed to create a dollar-free world and establish Russia as an “energy superpower.” He allowed corruption to metastasize through the state’s fabric, undermining its security capabilities. With its mass emigration, skyrocketing divorce rate, and low fertility, Russia, more than the West, demonstrates an immense collapse of family and social values, and a tremendous level of moral bankruptcy.

I think you will find, if you don’t constrain yourself to just western msm that the majority around the world sympathises with the Russians. The unipolar rules based international order playbook has run its course and the global majority is veering towards multipolarity as evidenced by the extremely successful recently concluded Kazan Summit which even attracted the Sec Gen of the UN.

State terrorism plain and simple; I think an adequate response would be an assassination plot to rid the world of the terrorist and war criminal in chief.

There's a reason that the EU declared Russia a state sponsor of terrorism a couple of years ago

Many on the far right and some on the left rejected the symbolic move to declare Moscow as a terrorist regime.

Kangaroo court. Even a country like Mongolia didn’t pay heed to this so called evidence.
