> The approximately 1,173-kilometer-long undersea cable runs from Helsinki to Rostock. Its installation in the Baltic Sea was completed in early 2016.
I wonder if this this has anything to do with the Biden administration lifting ban on Ukraine using US weapons to strike deep inside Russia. Lately Russia has shown an interest in undersea cables in northern Europe.

If Russia wants to harass NATO and other countries in this way because they do not agree to Russia attacking and killing people, then honestly, maybe we should deal with Russia and close their ports on the Baltic Sea. They do not have to sail further than 5 km from the Strait of Finland, and access to Kalininagrad (“Królewiec”) is only possible with ships borrowed from NATO under its full control. The problem will be solved in 5 minutes.

Time for another debate whether this deserves a strongly worded letter or a speech about how worried we are about further escalations.

Russian spy ships were hanging around areas with cables a few days back. Not saying it’s connected but…

It could have been done by literally anyone, as we all know.

We need an EU Army and we need it now. Just put an EU military HQ somewhere next to the SHAPE in Mons or in Luxembourg, give it a difficult name (but not ‘EU army’), give it a huge budget and start preparing against Putler.

It was the russia navy.
While i am suspicious of Russia doing that, please remember that undersea cables are [cute all the time by ship anchors.](https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a24064/anchor-cuts-undersea-internet-cables/) We have to wait for the damage analysis. The Fins will be able to tell if it was on purpose or not.
Don’t worry we got Detective Dan to find out who did this, it’s a real twist.
So many of you suggesting war, but I’d be surprised if many of you are willing to go to the frontlines.
You don’t get to call for war unless you’re going to enlist and serve. You’re not heroic for wanting to send others to die.
Is the EU already typing out the strongly worded letter of disapproval?
