    Crazy someone got it in a personal home.

    I’ve always thought it was a side effect of some kind of bug malfunctioning if it was real.

    Maybe that’s what it started out as, and now Russia is weaponizing the bug in their spy equipment.

    Like that unpowered wooden seal that would bounce back audio if you blast it with ultrasound just right. If they do too much, it can effect people. So after finding out it can effect people… Russia being Russia is blasting people to cause harm

      This is still off-topic. Can you please explain why you insist on posting this here?

        I didn’t even notice this was c/Europe…

        It’s a good article, just nothing to do with Europe.

        OP should post to news or a US politics community

        I’d guess cuz Russia is in Europe, despite Europe not wanting to claim Russia and this story taking place in the Caribbean …

          Most of the Russian Federation is not is Europe geographically speaking. I am willing to count it as on-topic if it is explicitly in western Russia or if it is about something Russia did that is directly related to other European nations or has potentially a strong impact on those. This article is neither of that.

        Most of this story takes place in Europe and is very newsworthy. According to c/Europe description this community is for:

          Since when is Cuba part of Europe? Nor are US diplomats/spys stationed there (or elsewhere) directly related to Europe.

            What you’re telling me is that you didn’t read the article before deleting it.

              Yes I did, and I still fail to see the connection to Europe. This is a story about US and Russian inteligence services with Europe not even mentioned anywhere. And no, just because a small part of Russia is geographically in Europe is this suddenly news about Europe.

                In the BBC article there’s a link to Insider report that you have removed. Please read through more than the title of that report.

                  So you think because the article goes to excruciating length of documenting some Russian spys booking flight tickets in and around Europe but otherwise fails to make any convincing argument other than repeating the long known idea that this might have been an intelligence operation against US spys and their families, this becomes news about Europe?

                  This isn’t even news in general, but at most a nice spy story very thin on actual facts. It might very well be true but this isn’t news and just barely investigative journalism.

    may have targeted the brains of US diplomats with “directed energy” weapons

    Some evidence would be nice… extraordinary claims.

      There was actually a story on 60 minutes just last night about this very thing. They did interview people who have been targeted by “acoustic” weapons.
