Western intelligence agencies are issuing stark warnings: the world is more dangerous than before.

Russia’s hybrid warfare strategy is expanding beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. Acts of sabotage, cyberwarfare, misinformation, and election interference are increasing across Europe and North America.

This is not a distant problem—it affects all of us.

Norwegian Intelligence Sounds the Alarm

Norway’s security services (PST) recently declared that it is highly likely Russia will conduct sabotage operations in Norway in 2025.

This is not an isolated warning. Similar intelligence assessments have been made across Europe and North America.

In 2024 alone, over 40 sabotage attempts were reported in Europe. These ranged from cyberattacks on infrastructure to unexplained explosions and arson. The goal? To weaken Western nations from within.

What is Russia’s Hybrid Warfare Strategy?

Russia is fighting a multi-front war—not just in Ukraine, but globally. It aims to destabilize Western nations without firing a single bullet.

Its strategy includes:

• Sabotage of critical infrastructure – energy grids, communication lines, transport systems, and underwater cables.

• Cyberattacks – targeting businesses, governments, and individuals to steal data, disrupt systems, and create chaos.

• Disinformation and propaganda – using AI-generated content, fake news, and social media campaigns to manipulate public opinion.

• Political interference – meddling in elections, supporting extremist groups, and exploiting social divisions.

These tactics are already in play across Europe, the U.S., Canada, and beyond.

Why 2025 Will Be a Pivotal Year

The coming year is set to be one of the most dangerous and unpredictable periods in modern history. Several key factors are escalating the risk:

1. Russia’s military struggles in Ukraine – With over 1,000 soldiers lost daily, Russia is desperate to weaken Western support for Ukraine.

2. Upcoming elections – 2025 will see critical elections worldwide. Russia has already interfered in the U.S., France, Moldova, and Georgia—more efforts are expected.

3. China’s growing support for Russia – China is keeping Russia’s economy afloat, helping it bypass sanctions, and providing military components. The Russia-China alliance is a long-term global threat.

4. Increasing sabotage operations – Western intelligence reports indicate Russia is preparing for more aggressive sabotage missions in the near future.

The Personal Impact: Why This Matters to You

Let’s make this real.

Imagine you were warned that an arsonist is targeting homes in your neighborhood and that your house is a likely target.

Would you:

• Ignore the warning and hope for the best?

• Or take precautions—securing your home, staying alert, and working with your neighbors to prevent attacks?

This is the situation every Western country faces right now. The threats are real. Inaction is not an option.

How Every Nation Must Prepare

1. Strengthen National Security

• Governments must invest in backup solutions for critical infrastructure.

• Intelligence agencies need full support to track and counter foreign threats.

2. Recognize That Any Target Can Be Valuable

• Sabotage doesn’t just hit major targets—small businesses, real estate, and digital assets can all be stepping stones to larger attacks.

• Real estate sales require scrutiny—Russian proxies have purchased property in strategic locations to conduct sabotage operations.

3. Defend Against Cyber Threats and Disinformation

• Russia’s AI-driven disinformation campaigns are becoming more sophisticated.

• Public awareness is key. We must recognize and resist propaganda designed to divide and manipulate us.

4. Increase Civilian Awareness and Digital Security

• Even if you are not in government, your emails, phone number, and social media presence can be exploited for intelligence gathering.

• Everyone has valuable data—and Russia’s proxies will use any information they can get.

The Future: Challenges and Consequences

Russia’s goal is to divide Western nations, weaken democratic institutions, and erode trust in leadership.

This war is not just about Ukraine. It’s about the survival of democracy worldwide.

We are already under attack.

• The weapons are not just missiles and tanks—they are cyberattacks, sabotage, propaganda, and political manipulation.

• The goal is to make us afraid, divided, and unable to act.

The Time for Action Is Now

Words are not enough. We must act.

• Governments must strengthen national defenses.

• We must stand with Ukraine.

• We must remain vigilant against sabotage, cyberattacks, and misinformation.

Russia is betting on our inaction and division. Let’s prove them wrong.

We are stronger together.
