    I will refrain from comment on this incident and the near to certain probability of Russian involvement, until such time that the chief intelligence tsarina-in-waiting, the ever attractive, charming and notoriously clever, Tulsi Gabbard, weighs in with her studied and precise analysis.

                  The Finns have been able to detect where something was dragged along the ocean floor near where the cable was cut.

                  Meanwhile.

                    The Russians are now upset, calling the Finns “pirates”

                      They need to send the ghost of Simo Häyhä to go delete Putin.

                      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                          https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/chinese-vessel-cuts-taiwan-internet-cable-in-apparent-sabotage-81e0d3b1?mod=e2tw

                          A Chinese-owned vessel cut an undersea fiber-optic cable near Taiwan, according to Taiwanese authorities, causing only minimal disruption of service but sending a message about the vulnerability of the island and its internet.

                          The incident was the latest in a string of episodes of apparent sabotage—including the cutting of data cables beneath the Baltic Sea—that have called attention to the security of what is viewed as critical infrastructure across the world.

                          China is engaged in a long-running, multifaceted pressure campaign to influence the people and leadership of Taiwan, a self-ruled democracy on an island claimed by Beijing as its own territory.

                          At the same time, Taiwan is working to ensure that it has adequately secured internet service to keep the island online in the event of an invasion or blockade by China.

                          On Friday, the Hong Kong-owned, Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel was found cutting one of about a dozen undersea communications cables connecting Taiwan to other countries in the region, according to Taiwanese authorities. Seven crew members on board were Chinese nationals, authorities said.

                          At around 7:51 a.m. on Friday, a disruption warning about a subsea cable near Taiwan’s Keelung Harbor was sent to Chunghwa Telecom, the Taiwanese government-run telecommunications operator. Internet service was largely unaffected, the company said.

                                  One of the things that mainland China is doing is to fly their flighter jets close to Taiwan, forcing Taiwan to send up our own planes.

                                  I am currently in southwest Taiwan, and hear the taiwan fighter jets (sometimes with sonic booms) flying ALOT overhead.
