The gist was members of some GRU unit have been seen at the location of several Havana syndrome events, mainly experts in Russia have been affected, and the Russian government has reportedly given awards for the creation and use of such directed energy weapons. The article makes it sound like Russia has been at war with the US since 2014, but the US hasn't realized it, yet.

I would add that this is not just some random unit - the same unit has previously engaged in acts of sabotage and assassinations abroad including use of chemical agents. Pretty big smoking gun to say the least
> mainly experts in Russia have been affected

Yet somehow this was not known beforehand for years and somehow only became "apparent" when Russia became the public enemy.

This article makes it sound like military industrial complex fat cats don't get their pockets filled with tax money fast enough, so plebs need some pushing.

Retroactively changing the past to accommodate the present day narrative is a common political trick, similarly to how Radio Free Europe's reports on Ukrainian ultranationalists challenging the monopoly on violence had suddenly become "Russian propaganda".

Another tiny step closer to the hot phase of WWIII, I guess.
