A senior military chief has revealed that the UK Special Forces are about to concentrate on some new covert counter-state tasks with a focus on Russia and China.
Royal Marines Brigadier Mark Totten told the Times that the British Royal Marines are to take over some of the “traditional” roles of the nation’s special forces units – the Special Air Service (SAS) and Special Boat Service (SBS) – as they prepare for some new “higher risk” counter-state tasks.

RT reports: The brigadier himself is in command of a 4,000-strong “future commando force” that is about to share the burden of the special forces such as in maritime counterterrorist missions or some “partnered operations” that involve some “higher risks.”
The SAS and SBS will apparently hurl all effort into countering “big state adversaries” – Moscow and Beijing, the military official told the paper.
“What we will be able to do is allow [the special forces] to focus on more difficult, more complex, counter-Russia, counter-China [tasks]. It takes real specialist expertise, so we will allow them to have more time and people to address those and we can conduct some of the tasks,” Totten said.
The brigadier did not exactly elaborate on the nature of such future operations. The Times reported, citing some army sources, that the missions might involve some “politically treacherous” tasks like training the navies of the nations in the South China Sea region to make them better prepared to repel what the UK newspaper called “Chinese hostility.”
The nature of the UK Special Forces’ potential operations against Russia remains unclear, but the Times claims that they could involve surveillance of Russian intelligence and military units in cooperation with British MI6 intelligence.
Earlier, the Guardian reported that the most secretive parts of the British military are likely to get a new focus and a new remit that would involve countering Russia and other state actors through secret missions.
The paper said that the director of the special forces has drawn up a new ‘Special Operations Concept’ based on the pretense that the nature of modern warfare is changing and unconventional subtle military operations are becoming increasingly common.
The Guardian also cited the Chief of the General Staff General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith who said that peace and war were “two increasingly redundant states,” while accusing “authoritarian regimes” of “exploiting the hybrid space that exists in between.”
Still, Totten’s comments were a rare instance of a British military official openly admitting that London plans to deploy the UK Special Forces on covert missions specifically targeting Russia and China.

Oh for goodness sake They’ve been planning it for hundreds of years That’s why they set up the communist takeover to remove the ruling class first and centralise all the power in one place so it’s convenient to steal And Putins sort of in it, but not quite, he’s kind of gone rogue on them in a way, maybe Maybe it’s an act just to make more money for the MIC and reduce population at the sane time skill 3 birds All that. Anyway it’s all roads. Same old same old. Deceit the name of the game And the sheep are still dumber than ever.
And if you’ve wondered why they’re using the election theft to centralise power in America take a guess And ditto for how now the health ministries, fighting of the “heretics” and giving them their magic cure all are centralising global power into Dr WHO s hands as the secret Agent of the wizard of oz in emerald City, the green eyed monster, then maybe you need to wonder if your under a spell of disinformation from the magic circle club of Romes Big book of tricks.
they are going to get their aszes handed to them if they do that.
The Russians will send them back in pieces . . .
The British couldn’t beat their way out of a wet paper bag!
