Point lasers at the Russians. Many lasers, from many directions.

The Russian Embassy released a statement, saying it was “not interested in British underwater communications”.

Then keep your ships out of their waters then or don’t bitch if it gets sunk.

“The actions of our country do not touch interests of the UK and they are not aimed at undermining its security,” the statement said.

It’s hard to tell these days if the Russian political class is selective towards stupidity or if it’s innate. Do they honestly believe anyone will buy this? Sailing a spy ship through/near their territorial waters, when you have a history of cutting cables and sabotage; is directly in their interests and undermines their security. Especially when you point lasers at their military aircraft. Few things more infuriating than a stupid narcissist.

Everything they communicate outwards is actually meant to their own population and Ruskiy Mir - the “Russian World”

It’s bullshit and we know it, but their own people don’t because Russia hasn’t had free press in two decades or so
