THE SPY WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME

Background:  Scott Morrison condemns Russia for cyber attacks.  Australia has joined other countries to blame Russian spies for a global wave of cyber attacks that Prime Minister Scott Morrison says targeted political, business, media and sporting bodies.

You know I felt strongly that back in 1992, shortly after the Berlin Wall had come down and the Soviet Union was falling apart, that there was this great global Western Cheer that "THE COLD WAR IS OVER , PEACE IN OUR TIME etc etc," that this was foolishly way too optimistic.

I remember thinking of all that all that brainwashing on both sides of the Iron Curtain, the constant fear of growing up in a World when any day could be the last due to Nuclear War and those many deaths on both sides due to espionage, and the Wars from Korea to Vietnam, to Afghanistan and so on.

I remember thinking that this will not just go away because President Ronald Reagan & Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, were best mates, or so it was made to appear.

I remember doubting that now the Nuclear Weapons Race was over and that the free Market and Democracy will reign supreme, shining bright into the Dark corners of the Communist World (even though these concepts still struggle in the West).

Just too good to be true I thought. Well, nothing to date has ever changed my thinking on this and I have never turned my back on the Russians, regardless of the Islamic Caliphate, which has been a very handy distraction, I believe.

So when I watched the rise of a former KGB Head, who was using Western style Political grandstanding tactics to gain popularity and to be seen as the "great Reformer of the East', then I knew nothing had changed, it was just a reseting of things and that the Bear was only in hibernation, resting and licking it's wounds.

Now look at where we are in 2018, and this "BREAKING NEWS" is not breaking to anyone who has taken a few minutes of any day to see what Putin has and is doing around the World. This is no revelation to the Leaders of the UK or Australia, but what it is, is a tactical and political DISCLOSURE in a way a readying the minds of the Masses to think that the Bad People are back and get ready for what we all feared, as it is definitely here.  And it's from a place where I think that many people and especially the current generation, did not expect to see it again.
