My money is on a faction of the Russian military either attempting to sabotage Putin or alternately attempting to block off potential routes to negotiation to force a confrontation. Both are plausible.
US intelligence works closely with the UK and Germany. If it was the US it was with Germany's knowledge and approval.
- vintermann 4y agoHave you forgotten Snowden's revelations? They spied like crazy on EU politicians. Germany is not even a 5 eyes country. That's an example that they're both able and willing to manipulate German politics and keep Germany in the dark about it. They would probably have needed Sweden's and Denmark's cooperation, but again there is recent history they are very willing to give the US whatever covert assistance they ask for.
