Summary

Sweden is investigating the Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3 after it was tracked near two severed Baltic Sea data cables connecting Sweden-Lithuania and Finland-Germany, incidents suspected to be sabotage.

The cables were damaged within 24 hours, and Germany called it a likely act of “hybrid warfare.”

The ship, owned by a Chinese company, follows a similar 2023 case involving a Chinese vessel damaging a Baltic gas pipeline.

Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Lithuania expressed concerns, citing increased hybrid threats linked to Russia, as investigations continue.

And nothing will happen. Here are some sanctions and tariffs that will be paid by the citizens of the issuing nation.

Perhaps China’s Final Warning was significant this time. Who’d have thought?

Why can’t humans stop being dicks to other humans for even like 5 minutes?

Well… Its “us” vs. “them” so it’s like… Okay dude.

Tldr: the powers to be control people who would oppose this with fear of people that are different. Different color, different religion, different sexuality and different economic circumstances.

Why would the rich elite let us get along and over power them when they can make us fight amongst ourselves

Being dicks to one another is where the huge majority of wealth and power come from. Asking humans to give up being dicks to one another is asking them to be satisfied with the tiny fraction of wealth and power that is derived from NOT being dicks to one another. Being satisfied with less is not really human nature.

There’s a history of Chinese ships dragging their anchors and damaging undersea infrastructure:

Also a regular occurrence in the Taiwan strait.
27 times in the past 5 years (Article date 2023).

The boat didn’t do it.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not China’s fault.

And if it was, they didn’t mean it.

And if they did, you deserved it.

Should be easy to apprehend a ship on a sea with only a small exit to open waters.

So, what was the Russian doing onboard?
