    Looks like there will be more, but we might not hear about it directly.

    This is a justifiable response if the government is now 100% convinced that the Kremlin was involved, but between stuff like this and the whole Israel thing motherfuckers really are lighting a match on their way out the door.

    Russia cracked the FBI's code on spy communications.

    The Obama administration’s public rationale for the expulsions and closures — the harshest U.S. diplomatic reprisals taken against Russia in several decades — was to retaliate for Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. But there was another critical, and secret, reason why those locations and diplomats were targeted.

    Both compounds, and at least some of the expelled diplomats, played key roles in a brazen Russian counterintelligence operation that stretched from the Bay Area to the heart of the nation’s capital, according to former U.S. officials. The operation, which targeted FBI communications, hampered the bureau’s ability to track Russian spies on U.S. soil at a time of increasing tension with Moscow, forced the FBI and CIA to cease contact with some of their Russian assets, and prompted tighter security procedures at key U.S. national security facilities in the Washington area and elsewhere, according to former U.S. officials. It even raised concerns among some U.S. officials about a Russian mole within the U.S. intelligence community.

    American officials discovered that the Russians had dramatically improved their ability to decrypt certain types of secure communications and had successfully tracked devices used by elite FBI surveillance teams. Officials also feared that the Russians may have devised other ways to monitor U.S. intelligence communications, including hacking into computers not connected to the internet. Senior FBI and CIA officials briefed congressional leaders on these issues as part of a wide-ranging examination on Capitol Hill of U.S. counterintelligence vulnerabilities.

    The compromise of FBI systems occurred not long after the White House’s 2010 decision to arrest and expose a group of “illegals” – Russian operatives embedded in American society under deep non-official cover – and reflected a resurgence of Russian espionage. Just a few months after the illegals pleaded guilty in July 2010, the FBI opened a new investigation into a group of New York-based undercover Russian intelligence officers. These Russian spies, the FBI discovered, were attempting to recruit a ring of U.S. assets — including Carter Page, an American businessman who would later act as an unpaid foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

    The CIA was forced to extract a key Russian asset and bring him to the U.S. in 2017. The asset was reportedly critical to the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin had personally directed the interference in the 2016 presidential election in support of Donald Trump.

    Explosion reported at a lab does testing for lethal viruses. One person was injured critically, but it's being reported that no viruses escaped.

    The fire was caused by the explosion of a gas canister during refurbishment work at the Vektor centre in Koltsovo, a town near Novosibirsk in Siberia.

    One person who suffered burns is in intensive care, a statement said.

    Vektor was reportedly a Cold War biological weapons research centre.

    The facility was set up in 1974 as a closed institute researching vaccines and "defences against bacteriological and biological weapons", Russian Interfax news agency reports.

    Vektor has one of the world's largest collections of viruses, including Ebola, according to Interfax. Reports say its collection includes samples of smallpox, bird flu and different strains of hepatitis.

    Anything but those fast/rage zombies from 28 days later (the kind of zombies that retain all their intelligence, but don't have a lactic acid system so their muscles don't fatigue and their rapid metabolism makes them always hungry and pissed).

    It's in Russia so these are probably the ones we'll get.

    And this is the real reason that global warming will doom us all.

    Russia is facing a ban from competing in championships and the Olympics for doping. A lot of the data used to test athletes from Russia have been erased and the World Anti-Doping Agency has demanded answers as to why.

    Russia was using the NRA as an asset to get agents connected to American politicians.

    Russia has deployed it's new nuclear-capable hyper-sonic (20x the speed of sound) missile system.

    President Vladimir Putin has said the nuclear-capable missiles can travel more than 20 times the speed of sound and put Russia ahead of other nations.

    They have a "glide system" that affords great manoeuvrability and could make them impossible to defend against.

    Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu confirmed the "Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle entered service at 10:00 Moscow time on 27 December", calling it a "landmark event".

    Mr Putin said on Tuesday the Avangard system could penetrate current and future missile defence systems, adding: "Not a single country possesses hypersonic weapons, let alone continental-range hypersonic weapons."

    The West and other nations were "playing catch-up with us", he said.

    Mounted on top of an intercontinental ballistic missile, the Avangard can carry a nuclear weapon of up to two megatons.
    The U.S. & China also have their own hyper-sonic missile systems.

    All ICBMs are way beyond the speed of sound. N. Korea's are too.
