The Director General of Britain’s internal intelligence service, MI5, Ken McCallum, has said the country faces in Russia, China, and Iran “adversaries who have massive scale and are not squeamish about the tactics they deploy.”
On the eve of the World Cup in Qatar, McCallum used a series of football analogies, saying Russia “thinks nothing of throwing an elbow in the face, and routinely cheats to get its way ... they will keep attacking us.”
