Zviedri visu zināja, bet klusēja (papildināts)

The war in Georgia broke out in August 2008 after a period of sharp rhetoric and military buildup. “We could see how the Russians moved military units and how things then became silent. That meant everything was in place and that the final preparations for a strike were underway,” one source said.

The source continued: “We knew that Russia would likely enter Georgia. At the same time, the US drew a different conclusion: that there would be no war.”

According to Svenska Dagbladet’s sources, the FRA – Sweden’s national authority for signals intelligence – spies on Russia’s political and military leadership as well as on Russian intelligence and counterintelligence. The sources also claimed that the FRA follows other Russian actions that are “of great significance to Swedish interests and politics”.

…

“When the Baltic countries became free, the FRA played a role in seeing where they were heading. Now, the authority has found a new niche,” a source told reporters from Swedish Television’s investigative programme Uppdrag Granskning, referring to the FRA’s interception of cable traffic from the Baltics and Russia, which to a large extent runs via Sweden.

vara bungas: well, well, well… tātad vēl viens pierādījums tam, ka GE neuzbruka RU 08.08.08., kā “europās”  tagad pieņemts uzskatīt.  Un SE vāc informāciju par Baltijas valstīm un Krieviju, bet ar infu dalās tikai ar USA… Nav godīgi, mēs takš tuvākie kaimiņi, gandrīz bračkas  – jansoni, simsoni, pētersoni… Lai vāc, bet dalās! 😉

SE žurnaļuga ir tikpat “prfesionāli”, kā citur, jo nesaprot, ka  neattiecas uz militāro izlūkošanu vārds “spying” (spiegot).  Piemēram, teikums “maskējoties siena gubā izlūks izspiegoja pretinieka tanku pārvietošanos” ir nonsenss.  Militārie izlūki veic “collection” (vākt informāciju, datus), piemēram “maskējoties siena gubā izlūks vāca  informāciju par pretinieka tanku pārvietošanos”.

…Neighboring country Latvia is not surprised over the Swedish espionage, or the fact that the information is turned over to the US. “I would be upset if it was about spying on me, for example, but spying on Latvian territory, for example on Russian interests, that does not surprise me,” says Latvian defence minister Artis Pabriks to Uppdrag granskning. “I think most countries that have the capacity to do so, conduct espionage in Latvia. In addition, it’s important to us that our allies in the EU and NATO are aware of conditions here.”
