It’s crazy what Russia are trying and doing at the moment, we’ve just had our cyber threat level increased based on advice that Russia is going to try and attack/sabotage the flight systems.

Do we have any idea what their thinking is ? Are they trying to pressure the west into supporting Ukraine less or into going easy on the sanctions ? Or is it purely to cause general disruption, in which case you might imagine they’d wait until we’re nearer the Christmas rush with more recovery staff on leave ?

I don’t think Russia plan short term, everything they do is strategic and they are willing to play the long game with Ukraine. I think they want to completely undermine the relationships within Europe and especially NATO. Putin is petrified by NATO and is convinced their sole mission is to destroy Russia.

Video about crafting Augers. Hope it isn’t too boring:

It’s that time again.

Right now, pub in Malvern, 2018, every notification possible on my phone telling me that my mother had died.

We went to see her, then straight to the Nag’s (basically opposite the gates of the care home) for several very large whiskies.

Sorry to bang on about it but one way and another she very much influenced the course of my life.
