Summary

NATO is increasing its presence in the Baltic Sea following suspected sabotage of undersea power and internet cables, including Finland’s Estlink 2 power line.

Finland seized a Russian oil tanker, believed to be part of a sanctions-evasion “shadow fleet,” for allegedly damaging cables with its anchor.

Estonia launched naval operations to protect remaining infrastructure. Baltic nations, on high alert since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, cite frequent incidents as suspicious.

The outages may raise Baltic power prices, but won’t affect plans to disconnect from the Russian power grid.

I genuinely think NATO warships should start escorting all the Russian ships in the Baltic sea and seize them if there is a suspicion of any sabotage.

Russia is already in a war against us, for years. We just haven't noticed yet.
