Here’s a spy operation that could be sitting in someone’s living room. The FBI says Russia’s GRU used hacked Wi-Fi routers, including in America, to help spy across borders. Sometimes the intelligence battlefield is closer than we think! #GRU #FBI #Cybersecurity

Trump administration excludes UK, France and Baltics from NATO meeting.
Trump’s Pentagon is treating NATO like a loyalty contest, organising an exclusive meeting in Poland to map out the alliance’s future while shutting out critical heavyweights.
While core defenders like France, the United Kingdom, and the Baltic states are left out in the cold, Washington has invited only a handpicked group of favorites: Poland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, and potentially Denmark.
By dividing allies into “in” and “out” camps, Washington is fracturing Western unity and doing putin’s dirty work for him. When you sideline your most capable partners under the guise of strategy, you aren’t strengthening security—you are sabotaging it, and the only person smiling is sitting in the Kremlin.
