MI5 head: ‘increasingly aggressive’ Russia a growing threat to UK

[SheilaT.]

Russia poses an increasing threat to the stability of the UK and is using all the sophisticated tools at its disposal to achieve its aims, the director general of MI5 has told the Guardian.

In the first newspaper interview given by an incumbent MI5 chief in the service’s 107-year history, Andrew Parker said that at a time when much of the focus was on Islamic extremism, covert action from other countries was a growing danger. Most prominent was Russia.

Just goes to show, it's not all about visible agression.

Russia, China, US all still vying for influence and dominance across the world. Russia around the Baltic and Black sea, US around South America and the Korean region, China around the south China sea and Sea of Japan. There aint no good guys in any of this contrary to popular belief.
