The country’s prime minister said the incident, the latest in a series of disruptions to undersea infrastructure, underscored the danger of a so-called Russian shadow fleet.

At least Finland is fighting for the good of humanity.

The West must fucking find its balls and acknowledge that we are in a hybrid war against the blyats. It is high fucking time we fight back. Using every means short of direct military conflict.

Why should we stop short?
Russia is actively in combat with an Eastern European nation and has been for 4 years. It’s arguable that the rest of Europe and the West engaging with Russia on a battlefield would actually save more lives in the end by shortening the conflict.
They can’t make war if you remove their means to make war.

Because it’s far more effective to wage an asymmetric non-shooting war. We have far more resources than the blyats could muster. We could outcompete them 100-fold in every fucking dimension. we could gradually weaken them until their miserable state crumbles. All without the devastation of war.

Unlike the previous ships, this one was immediately seized by armed forces, so I guess we’re starting to wake up.

To my knowledge, it was escorted to Finland from international waters by the coast guard, after which the police quick-response task unit stormed the bridge via helicopter. Had the ship refused to leave international waters, there’s nothing they could have done. I applaud them for their boldness and aggression, but luck also played a role. As far as I’m aware, the previous ships never entered any country’s territorial waters.

The previous ships weren’t seen with hard evidence. This one had a missing anchor.

Apparently there are also some actions available on international waters where also countering pirates lies

Just start ‘accidentally’ sinking the fucking ships that ‘accidentally’ cut the cables and that will get the message across.

Then just do what Egypt did to some ships, seize them for an investigation and do it over 40 years while the crew is detained.

We need to stop pretending that nuclear armament is an excuse to trample other countries with this childish crap.

Cut their internet and declare their currency holdings forfeit. Ban all travel to Russia. Force all companies to divest their holdings in Russia. Eject them from the UN.

Force them to live alone and if China joins in, then start ramping up production and give 'em the same treatment.

Keep maintaining a shortsighted extreme position on every topic and you’ll never be promoted to supervisor at the matrioshka doll factory, just like ur entire western matrioshka doll industry has fallen to decay after years of western hubris and self declared exceptionalism

Keeping it tense between them and China is so good, alone theyll never make it. Watching Putin the panty poisoner and Xi Pooh bear give each other crusty blowjobs and get nothing from it is top 👌

If Europe and the US refused to trade with anyone who trades with Russia, China would embargo Russia in about half a second.

China knows we can’t stop importing all the garbage they send us. They have the markets cornered in so many items and materials that we really can’t embargo them.
