All telecommunications running on the submarine cable have been cut off. A cybersecurity expert tells Yle that the cable break is likely to be intentional.

Some breaking news

Too early to tell the cause. Of course they’re already blaming Russia lol

I’m not sure what motive Russia would have to target this particular cable. Any ideas or is it scapegoat time?

    Ah, another consent building exercise.

    All this is so far beyond ridiculous now that I really struglle to understand how so many seem to be so on board with this. Then again for the Whites all this is like their lifelong heroic battle dreams and hate of all things Russia becoming a reality.

      Headlines like this are why. Just a giant echo chamber of “We’re under attack! We’re under attack!” getting louder and louder until its the only thing people hear. How do you not get on board with resisting the eternal siege of Evil Empires who are behind every conceivable bad thing happening inside your country’s borders? Fighting Russia and China and Iran and <Evil Country To Be Named Later> becomes a panacea. It will cure every ill, because they are the but-for cause of every harm. Only by defeating these evils can Europe reach a Utopian state of existence.

      Last time chuds were foaming at the mouth to start bombing St. Petersburg over a gas pipeline, then it turned out Russia had nothing to with it.

      manhattan I’m sure this time they’ll prove Putlermort was behind it.
