Summary

Be a Denison Forum Frontline Partner

The shutdown of London’s Heathrow Airport last Friday not only exposed issues with “creaking infrastructure” at Britain’s airports, but British reporters are now speculating about the dire consequences if Russia was behind it. Whether Russia or another actor was behind the power outage, the fact remains that such a crisis could be the work of terrorists in the future. However, when confronting massive challenges, we can find hope in this fact: if God could not use us effectively at this moment in history, we would not be alive at this moment in history.

down the next day, disrupting more than 1,300 flights and 200,000 passengers.

0:53.1

A British official said Friday that there is no indication of Russian involvement in the fire,

0:59.0

but intelligence experts state that the inferno had all the hallmarks of Russian sabotage.

1:05.5

The shutdown came as Russia's disruption and sabotage operations in the West are continuing to escalate.

which have often utilized explosives.

Whether Russia or another actor was behind the power outage, the fact remains that

1:30.2

such a crisis could be the work of terrorists in the future. In a world as interconnected as ours,

1:36.3

a single act of sabotage could affect millions or more. And China's deep sea cable cutter that

1:44.1

could reset the world order and renewed fighting in

1:47.7

Lebanon and Gaza over the weekend, more on both in tomorrow's daily article, and we could be
