I love a good cloak and dagger spy story, especially when it’s true. This one manages to be both terrifying and hilarious (but mostly terrifying) in one go. In short, it seems that the Russians are using directed-energy microwave attacks to damage the brains of American agents. Which sounds like science-fiction, but it’s not. That’s the terrifying part. The hilarious part is that apparently what pisses off the Russian security services more than anything is when you don’t send them a Christmas card. Enjoy:
