2026 COLD WAR OPERATIONS

Western security officials have confirmed that arsons are a part of a shadow war by Russia’s intelligence services. Examples: (1) An arson attack that destroyed 1000 small businesses outside of Warsaw. (2) Another that burned an IKEA store in Lithuania. (3) A plan to put incendiary devices on cargo planes in Britain, Germany and Poland.

Officials note that a central figure in these plots is a former taxi driver residing in rural Russia, not an intelligence agent.” (New York Times, “Once a Cabby, Now a Linchpin For the Kremlin’s Shadow War,” written by Michael Schwirtz and Adam Goldman, 2/22/2026). This is how Putin operates.

Let’s clarify, almost everyone who has a car in Russia is a taxi driver at one point or another. It is an easy way to earn extra cash. People all over Russia stand on the side of the road, put out their arm, and drivers pull over. You then discuss your destination and the price. It is common practice. If there are more than one man in the car, you refuse their service. There are also professional cab drivers and if you are a foreigner, you should never ride with then.

Aleksei Vladimirovich Kolosovsky, 42, is linked to hacking, fake ID sales, car theft rings, moving people and bombing equipment, making him prominent in unconventional conflict. “Court documents and interviews with security officials from five European countries indicate he has coordinated recent operations in Poland, Lithuania, Britain, Germany, and possibly other locations cooperating with Russian intelligence officers.” (Ibid, NYT) Operatives like Mr. Kolosovsky have become more common in the Kremlin’s evolving and increasingly violent sabotage campaign against western countries and anyone supporting Ukraine in their desperate war against Russia.

In the 2020 U.S. Census, it concluded that there are over 3 million Russians in the United States. Very few are seeking asylum - most are working with Russian Organized Crime located in almost every US state.

After the Russian-Ukraine war started, Western nations sent weapons to Ukraine. In response, Mr. Putin relied on the GRU’s Unit 29155, Russia’s main agency for covert overseas operations which was essential for sabotage in the West. It specializes in services such as cyber warfare, explosives, assassinations, arson, drugs, and so on. Their services and that of Mr. Kolosovsky are actively operating throughout Europe and yes, the United States. “The Washington Post previously disclosed Mr. Kolosovsky’s possible involvement with the GRU and his connection to the plot to place incendiary devices on cargo planes.” (Ibid, NYT) A DHL plane was delayed in Leipzig, Germany. “Officials said that a bomb was on-board and if they had not been delayed for other reasons, it would have exploded in mid-air.” (Ibid, NYT) The Guardian said that Russia was behind an arson attack on an IKEA store in Lithuanian in 2025. (Mar. 17, 2025) Three other IKEA stores in the Netherlands, France, and Belgium have all experienced arson.

In the United States, nineteen people were killed in October 2025 after a huge blast at a Tennessee explosives plant. This factory manufactured weapons and ammunition solely for Ukraine.

Several Churches of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were recently damaged by fire, including incidents in Australia, Michigan (USA), and New Zealand in late 2025. In Grand Blanc, Michigan, a deliberate arson occurred on September 28, 2025, at a Mormon Church. This church has been the largest private donor to Ukraine of goods and foods. Zelinsky had personally thanked them for their help.

On October 7, 2025, a blaze nearly burned to the ground the house owned by Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein in South Carolina. The judge declined to provide South Carolina’s voter registration records to the U.S. Department of Justice.

There were more than 60 election-day bomb threats in Georgia polling locations. Reuters published an article called “Hoax bomb threats linked to Russia at polling places in battleground states,” (written by Tim Reid and Sarah Lynch, Nov. 5, 2024). The Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffinsperger, said the FBI in 2024 traced these threats to Russian email domains. The FBI stated that Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin were also targeted. There is no doubt that this was Russian assistance for Trump.

The wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles only a year ago were the worst in California’s history. Approximately 60 square miles burned, an estimated 440 people died, and more than 200,000 people were forced from their homes, resulting in $8.3 billion in property loss. (LA Times) While the conditions were perfect for the spread of a fire, the timing and the extent of the flames appeared to be arson. Do you really believe that all 14 of the destructive fires were self-combustible?

Uninformed and gullible Americans do not understand Russia’s role in the destruction of the United States. Putin blames America for the downfall of the Soviet Union and has sworn revenge. In the 1990’s his words were, “Wait for Our Retaliation.”

Information connecting Donald Trump to Russian threats in the US includes findings of 2016 election interference, his administration’s policy approaches, and recently his 2025-2026 actions towards Russia. It was not consequential that the first people Trump invited to the Oval Office after his 2016 election was the Russian Foreign Minister and the Russian Ambassador. The Robert Mueller Report, the January 6^th Senate Intelligence Committee, and the Jack Smith Report all conclude that Russia has launched an aggressive, multi-faceted effort” on Trump’s behalf. Why?

The obvious conclusion is that Russia wants Trump in the White House because he is (1) controlled by Mr. Putin, and (2) he is destroying the United States government and economy – from the genocide in Africa due to Trump’s closure of USAID (expected death toll to be 15 million individuals in ten years), to his bombing of Venezuela to acquire their gas and oil,to the closure of the U.S. Department of Education, to the bizarre tariffs. Trump has attempted to convince Americans that the tariffs are in their best interest, when it is the American people who pay 96% of the costs for these taxes as seen in the skyrocketing prices of groceries.

He is destroying the U.S. economy – both macro-economics (government and businesses) and micro-economics (family budgets). Americans need to recognize the facts and take action.
