  1. I’m gonna go ahead and flair this Russia-Ukraine, because at this point nobody believes in these kinds of coincidences. This is terrorist action by Russia by the way (if confirmed etc lol). And I’m saying this to call for cooler heads to prevail, because otherwise it would be an act of war.

    Although strategically mining these cables would seem to be a necessary next step.

  2. If Germany had any sense they would have sent Tauruses right away, but I guess strongly worded letter is much better. That will work against Russia this time!

  3. Nobody was interested in revealing the evidence to what and how Nord Stream was damaged. But people here are quick to judge it was Russia without any evidence to back the claim. Just more fear mongering as usual.

  4. Given Russian vessels were recently escorted away from sensitive Irish locations and raised tensions in the Ukrainian war, I believe there is merit to suspicions.  Though to keep a lid on the souring mood, I’d encourage a more thorough investigation.

    Those cables are among a country’s most critical infrastructure.  They are among the first things destroyed in the event of a full-scale war.

  5. Wait.. this is a classic.

    Wasn’t this the case similar with Nord Stream? No offense but Russia was accused at that time and everyone were pressing on it. But when the verdict arrived everyone went radio silent and nord stream became irrelevant.

    Not supporting Russia but I think it’s a double standard regardless. Unless the final verdict arrives, it’s better not to point fingers.

  6. It’s gonna be hilarious if they find out it was *actually* something akin to a natural cause i.e. a fissure or some kind of displacement dropping a landslide on it or the like. Of course my money’s on Russia, and honestly they’re the only ones that benefit the most from that particular outage, but we’re now in the Onion timeline so who knows.

  7. At what point do we just go hard on Russia. Every time they escalate just a little bit it’s always naughty naughty. It’s like a frog being slowly boiled. Russian troops will be in Poland and Germany will be “strongly considering” action. Just send Ukraine everything they need, box Russia out of the baltics.
