Big fuss about Russian spies but dancing Israelis ignored

Our Annie doing a fine job here

I've been following with interest the retro, Cold War spy saga currently unfolding in the USA. The headlines being that 10 alleged Russian sleepers ("illegals" in spy lingo) have been arrested by the FBI and are now charged with "working as agents of a foreign power", which carries a sentence of five years in prison.

Moscow and Washington say they hope FBI arrests of alleged Russian agents will not affect relations between the two. The controversy comes just after a meeting between the U.S. and Russian Presidents. Former MI5 officer Annie Mashon says an inside game among U.S. intelligence agencies could be behind the timing of these arrests.

Mere political theatrics masking temper tantrums in high places. Surely Anne has better things she could do than bother with this pathetic red herring?

Oh well, at least she got the dancing mossad into the picture...

If it were a book it would be called 1984!
Fear of war with Eurasia? While the real war is hidden?

The spy thriller that wasn’t
The slowly fading US-Russian spy case, which began amidst great hype and promise, has turned out to be so dull that the world is turning to a number of wild theories to explain it.
When discussing this season’s soporific spy drama it is at least good to know that we cannot spoil the plot. After all, the one thing this espionage case lacked from the very beginning was an easily digestible, made-for television script that can grip our imaginations.
Maybe the next time the FBI unleashes its next spy thriller they could at least consult a good Hollywood scriptwriter to keep us all from falling asleep...............
