    Honestly our infrastructure is so vulnerable to this vector of attack.

    Must be simple to get a device into the postal service and into critical areas, planes, hospitals, even oil rigs!?!?

    Elements within Russia seem determined to push into hybrid war in a more dangerous fashion.

    Its not like Putin is above having people murdered in Britain.

    The steady disintegration of the world order is becoming more visible all the time. North Koreans are now fighting for Russia. Iranians supply them arms and them and Russia are trying to drain western stocks of anti ballastic missiles through attacks like the Houthis and on Ukraine both for their own ends and to simply have less against China, knowing the US cannot really go all in in defending any target it needs to kept ABMs back for a possible big clash in the Pacific, which the threat of which helps those two as it means they can drain what the US is willing to supply sooner.

    While Europe’s economies struggle and strain and western countries are plagued by populists who seem to all somehow have a hint of pro Putin lean to them.

    Since my home is directly under the BHX flight path, and this device may well have detonated aboard an aircraft over or near my home, I’m seeing this as a direct and serious threat to me and my property. I’m considering whether or not to declare war on Russia. Putin just got personal.

    How is this possible and if it is quite worrying that even where it’s destined for is not known?
