Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

[Jaskalas]

Yet another Chinese ship in the Baltic Sea.
The Eastern Bloc continues to commit acts of war / sabotage on critical Europe / NATO infrastructure.
How many need to die before we stand up and fight back?

"Japan is poised to allocate an additional $3 billion dollars from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on Dec. 25."

Time for them to drop some mines.... around those cables and see what they spot... and leverage sanctions against China at the same level of Russia.

 

[jdubs03]

At a minimum sanctions need to be put on China for these activities. We all know that appeasement and procrastinating with firm action on trouble makers just begets more trouble making.

Western Europe has to grow a spine and buck up. Send the message of the almost ubiquitous FAFO. Otherwise you’re sending the you can tread on US message.

When are we going to defend our undersea cables? Russia needs to start receiving steep costs for acts of sabotage Make Putin lose a sub or three, let him think about it.

C'mon Denmark. There really needs to be fewer Russian vessels operating around NATO countries, closing the strait would help. It's just a matter of time before everyone starts experiencing faulty Russian oil ships sinking off their coasts. Putin will inflict painful retribution however he can, if we let him.

Russia are probably paying chinese freighter captains to carry out these sabotages for them. All they have to do is "accidentally" drag their anchor along the bottom over a cable and then claim it was a mistake. It's hard to prove otherwise and the chinese government will of course back up their own merchant marine whether they are themselves involved or not.

BTW, it's 3 more cables today between Finland and Estonia...

Finland intercepted the ship and took control then sailed it in to port.

Vessels suspected of sabotage should be detained, their crews sent home, and the ship/cargo confiscated.

Why should their crews not also be detained as they presumably carried out the sabotage?

I’m cool with arresting and prosecuting the captain. Its his responsibility.

Russians are bringing out their finest rides for the meat assaults now. All aboard the Suicide Express, serving Pizdets and Blyat daily!

Drones are going to gobble up these pissheads like Xmas cookies. AT mines going off under unarmored vehicles, oooof

I'm guessing the vehicle cages are to keep in the inevitable flying body parts to make cleanup easier?

 

[Pens1566]

Fuck it. Sink the ship(s).

 

[jones377]

I'm just wondering how the US would react if this was happening in say the Gulf of Mexico to it's own cables/pipelines?

Russian air defense the likely suspect in the crash of an Aerzibijan Airlines E190.

https://bsky.app/profile/specialkhersoncat.bsky.social/post/3le5esxjgbs26

Reportedly the Russians denied this flight emergency landing and jammed its gps forcing it out over the Caspian Sea. Suspicions they hoped it would crash into the water and obscure Russian responsibility.

The ship didn't do anything - sink the crew.

The crew didn't do anything - sink the anchor!

The anchor was part of the ship!

I posted about these 8 guys in this thread before, several months ago. Hard to overstate the strength of these men.

67 days. Encircled by Russians who were doing everything they could to kill these holdouts. On the receiving end of sooo much shit, helped inflict enough damage on the Russians to hold back ridiculous odds. AFU kept these guys alive with accurate artillery fire and drones, night and day, delivering ammo and supplies and running CAS. Just amazing, but warning, its also a rough listen. My heart really goes out to the brave defenders doing this righteous work, especially now as living out in the cold makes everything a 1,000 times worse. War and winter, together, the very definition of misery. Hang in there guys.

Finland has seized the oil cargo of the shadow tanker implicated in the cable cut.

Nordics should start randomly greeting shipping traffic bound to/from Leningrad while carrying at least 40mm of hospitality.

Sink the Bismark. That's my battle cry!

Riflemen, the lowly front line grunt, eats unimaginable shit in every war.

covertcabal/jompy/highmarsed big roundup of storage yard vehicle count 3yrs into the war

numbers are broken down into categories on the slides, not that complicated but not worth trying to summarize.

the takeaway is that unless ru is willing to overspend on overhauling the hulls in disrepair, they will either have to use less vehicles in assaults or conduct fewer attacks.

I suspect whatever they're refurbishing now are essentially the creations of the leftover labor they have after the production lines eat up the better quality workers. On top of that, it's obvious they cannot outproduce what's being destroyed in Ukraine so they're doing what they can to plug the gaps with this trash.
