Britain in danger; Has war with Russia already begun?

Former British Navy commander Lord Alan West warned today that Russia’s attack on Ukraine risks escalating into a full-scale conflict with the Western defense bloc, and that the United Kingdom is already “effectively at war with Russia”.

“It’s quite hard to see how anyone could get out of this conflict, because a full-scale war between NATO and Russia is not desired. Russia would lose—and the danger in them losing is whether they would then make that stupid mistake with nuclear weapons,” he said on the podcast Lord Speaker's Corner, reports the Daily Mail.

Former NATO Secretary General Lord George Robertson, who appeared on the same podcast, sharply warned that Britain is not sufficiently prepared for a conflict.

“We are not sufficiently prepared, not adequately secured; we have been attacked and we are not safe. You wouldn’t notice it by looking at Parliament. You wouldn’t notice it by looking at people on the streets. But we are being attacked in cyberspace,” he said, highlighting the growing threats to critical digital infrastructure.

According to him, one could argue that it is merely coincidental that all these cyber disruptions have occurred in the past few weeks, but, as he noted, “not all of them can be accidental.”

He stated that the sabotage across the European continent has “undoubtedly been organized by the Russian military or the Russian military intelligence service (GRU).”

Lord Robertson also pointed out that Moscow is increasingly outsourcing its alleged hacking operations to freelancers.

“They cannot do it all themselves. That’s why they are now outsourcing work to organized crime—an effective capitalist principle… Our submarine cables, which carry 99 percent of all the data we use, are vulnerable, and they are observing them, and in some cases even attacking them,” he added.

He warned that when critical infrastructure is hacked and destroyed, British citizens will inevitably demand answers.

“When the lights go out, hospitals close, and data centers melt down… people will ask, ‘Why didn’t you do something about this?’” emphasized the former NATO Secretary General.
