And 4 days ago a Russian spy ship was escorted out of Irish waters:

So definitely seems like a coordinated attempt to destabilise Europe ahead of anticipated peace talks early next year.
Same in Portugal

Why would destabilising europe before peace talks be beneficial? Seems like they would lose a lot of leverage.
So how long ago were US long-range missiles used to attack Russia?
Because that's what seems to be claimed here, that Russia are retaliating for that.
How long does it take a ship to travel to a 'suspicious' site like this?
versus, how long does it take to intercept the nearest Russian ship, and escort it away as a spy ship and 'potential saboteur'?
The info that the Biden administration would greenlight this, should have been known in Moscow for weeks now. I assume the news arrive later only for us - the public.
So you're saying the spy-saboteur ships have been hanging around, or en route to sensitive areas for weeks, waiting for this to drop?
But only now are they being very publicly outed and moved on?
