Russian Spies Return to Europe in 'New Cold War' -- Elisabeth Bra, Newsweek
Earlier this month, experts convened in Brussels for a conference titled 'The Second Cold War: Heating Up?' Even among the plethora of current 'New Cold War' themed events, this one stood out: the organiser, Latvian MEP Tatjana Zdanoka, has been accused of being a Russian agent of influence – a spy.
Zdanoka, who is also chair of the EU Russian-Speakers Alliance insist there is no truth to the allegations, adding that the accusation was part of a ‘dirty tricks’ operation against her at home by domestic opponents – a tactic familiar from the Cold War days to those who remember them.

My Comment: At least a third of Russia's diplomats work for Putin's intelligence agencies?!?!?!?! I am not privy to any intelligence reports or assessments .... but I am skeptical of that claim ... then again .... I could be completely wrong. As to what is the U.S. intelligence presence in foreign embassies .... some are pegging that percentage at 50%!!!! .... CIA makes up half of some US embassies (Opinion Maker).

See, the CIA tortured that information out of an RT correspondant, with waterboarding and anal feeding, so it must be 1000% true.
When it comes to breaking Russian spies (or RT correspondents) .... waterboarding and anal feeding will never work. What will work is making a Russian spy sit down and watch the movie "The Russians are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!" over and over and over again. They will break down and spill all the secrets before you know it.
