Yes, I believe that is the point

Following a string of alleged Russian attacks on undersea cables, a group of Europe’s largest telecom companies are urging NATO and other military leaders to do more to protect the region’s undersea infrastructure.

“With the rise in hybrid threats, including incidents affecting subsea cables in the Baltic and North Sea, we emphasize the importance of enhanced, coordinated action to safeguard Europe’s cross-border networks,” the companies wrote in an open letter to EU, UK, and NATO decision makers.

And the concern they’re raising is legitimate. Felon Drink Bleach’s employer is a responsible party - as is Winnie-the-Pooh:

In November 2024, a Chinese ship was surrounded by European vessels due to suspicions that it attempted to sabotage fiber-optic undersea cables in the Baltic Sea. The Yi Peng 3, a commercial ship filled with Russian goods, dragged an anchor over 100 miles across Northern Europe’s Baltic seabed, and the investigation reportedly focused on whether the ship’s crew was directed to drag the anchor to intentionally damage the cables.

That came after cables connecting Lithuania and Sweden, as well as Finland and Germany, were slashed the month prior. In January, Sweden also began investigating a cargo ship for deliberately damaging an undersea fiber-optic cable in the Baltic Sea, which connected Sweden and Latvia, after detecting connectivity issues.

Russia and China have denied intentionally damaging any undersea infrastructure. In January, however, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said in a statement directed at Russian President Vladimir Putin that, “We know what you are doing, and we will not shy away from robust action to protect this country.”

We find ourselves in an age where computer gaming journalists have to report the dangers of fascism, authoritarianism. And while this is very unfortunate, it makes sense: fascism is an attack against humanity at large.
