You know, defense spending and all that? One shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
Who is behind the suspected sabotage attempts targeting the German navy?
Since the beginning of 2025, a total of ten possible acts of sabotage have been uncovered, according to CORRECTIV. The question is, who is behind them?
Two arrested over attempted sabotage of German naval vessels – Two suspects have been arrested over the attempted sabotage of German naval vessels docked at the Port of Hamburg last year.
The pair are suspected of deactivating electronic safety switches, removing fuel tank caps, puncturing water supply lines, and dumping more than 20kg (44.1lb) of abrasive gravel into a ship’s engine.
“If gone undetected, the acts would have caused major damage to the ships and delayed their departure, endangering the operations of the German Navy,” the EU’s Eurojust crime agency said in a statement.
Berlin power outage highlights German vulnerability to sabotage – Power is being restored to the last homes hit by a five-day blackout in Germany’s snow-covered capital, Berlin.
The outage was caused by a suspected arson attack and came as temperatures dipped below freezing.
It is reportedly the longest blackout in the capital’s post-war history. A far-left militant group has claimed it was behind the outage.
“It is unacceptable that once again clearly left-wing extremists have attacked our power grid and thereby endangered human lives.”
Berlin power outage affecting 45,000 homes blamed on ‘politically motivated’ attack – A fire that left over 45,000 households and 2,200 businesses in southwest Berlin without electricity was a politically motivated attack by left-wing extremists, city officials have said.
German Spies Detonated 2 Million Pounds of Explosives in New York Harbor in 1916: The Statue of Liberty’s Torch Has Been Closed Ever Since – Just after 2 a.m. on July 30, 1916, a freight car loaded with TNT exploded at a munitions depot on Black Tom Island in New York Harbor. The blast registered as a 5.5 magnitude earthquake and was felt 90 miles away in Philadelphia. Windows shattered from Times Square to Brooklyn. The Statue of Liberty took shrapnel damage. Firefighters were blown out of their boots.
Germany summons Russian ambassador over campaign to destabilise country, foreign ministry says – Germany’s foreign ministry spokesperson has warned that the authorities are “observing a significant increase in Russian hybrid activities,” claiming that a Russian campaign “seeks to destabilise Germany.”
You know, low-level agents who are not not professional spies but hired for small sums to carry out minor acts of sabotage, then “discarded?”
Things like photographing military sites, setting vehicles and facilities on fire, spray-painting political slogans, spreading pro-Russian content and conspiracy theories, etc. They would normally also sabotage rail lines and other forms of strategic infrastructure but the Germans have already beat them to it.
Putin’s secret terror in Germany – Russia’s “disposable agents” pose a threat to internal and external security. It is difficult to expose them. That is why German politicians are puzzling over how to defend the country against them. Now, for the first time, a strategy is taking shape.
Russia arrests German citizen on sabotage charges – The Russian Federal Security Service said a German man was involved in organizing an explosion in Kaliningrad and had returned to Russia “to organize acts of sabotage…”
Russian authorities have repeatedly arrested foreign citizens on hotly disputed charges, including in several incidents that Western governments have denounced as false or trumped-up cases.
Montezuma’s Revenge it is not. More like Moscow’s Revenge, I’d say.
Drinking water contaminated? Suspected sabotage again at Bundeswehr base – Once again there is suspicion of sabotage at a Bundeswehr base. This time, a fence at a drinking water tank in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia, has been cut. The public health department warns against using the water.
