That Russian fishing boat may be looking for something besides fish. European officials suspect some vessels are spying on undersea cables and critical infrastructure. Sound familiar? The KGB used civilian cover, too. Same spy game, new targets. #CIA #Russia #NationalSecurity

The KGB may be gone, but its spy game isn’t. Germany just arrested a suspected Russian agent accused of gathering military secrets through defense industry contacts. Moscow still wants NATO’s secrets, and one well-placed insider can do enormous damage. #CIA #Russia #Espionage

An IT specialist with the Defense Intelligence Agency pleaded guilty to charges related to espionage in August 2026.
Nathan Vilas Laatsch obtained a degree in cyber security from Florida Polytechnic University in 2018 and was hired by DIA to work in their Insider Threat Division in 2019. He held a Top-Secret security clearance.
In March 2025 he sent an email to a foreign government official with the subject line: “Outreach from USA Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Officer,”. The email included information about his position and photocopies of his work badges with personal information redacted to provide bona fides.
He also wrote his motivations were disagreements with actions taken by the Trump administration: “The recent actions of the current administration are extremely disturbing to me…. I do not agree or align with the values of this administration and intend to act to support the values that the United States at one time stood for. “
The FBI soon received the email through undisclosed means (the foreign government official likely reported it immediately). Although the Department of Justice did not clarify who Laatsch attempted to contact, the Sunday Times reported it was a German BND officer. An undercover FBI agent began communicating with Laatsch via email and a messaging app. DIA officials also installed a camera above his workspace to record his activities. Over the course of their communications, Laatsch indicated his interest in gaining citizenship in the foreign country as a reward for his efforts.
In late April 2025, Laatsch transcribed classified information from nine separate reports onto a notepad at his desk, then hid the pages in his socks when he left his office. He later uploaded the notes onto a thumb drive and left it in a dead drop at a park in Arlington, Virginia, which the FBI retrieved.
FBI agents arrested Laatsch in late May 2025 just after he conducted a second dead drop in Arlington, VA. On August 26th, 2026, he pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to transmit national defense information to a foreign government. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 27, 2027.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu reportedly wanted a strike on Iran ahead of Tuesday’s elections…
But IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir would not give it to him.
It’s being called “an unprecedented confrontation” between a PM and senior IDF officials.
And Bibi had every reason to want to strike before Tuesday… if the polls ain’t looking good, go to war.
It’s what many people like to bring up with Zelensky (in my opinion, quite different).
We don’t know all the details right now, but if IDF really went against Netanyahu on this, told him ‘no’…
Honestly, I respect the hell out of that.

🤡 Putin’s cynical call for Trump and the CIA to eliminate Zelensky
This was publicly demanded by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev.
“What should Trump do with such a ‘son of a bitch’? The answer is in American history. You just need to summon the Minister of War and the Director of the CIA and instruct them to rectify this unpleasant misunderstanding… The method, place, and manner are irrelevant,” Medvedev fantasized.
