Hmmm... the C-Lion1 fibre optic cable that connects Helsinki in Finland & Rostock in Germany has been cut.... with suspicions falling (immediately) on Russia... The night before a similar link between Sweden & Lithuania was also cut.
So on one hand this looks like a programme of communicative disruption... but one might wonder whether its a sign of the start of something else (my old IR training leads me to pose the Q. at least).

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Its a means to weaken communications between nato & non russian allies.
Its in Russia's interests to weaken their "enemies" & detrimental to "our" collective security & preparation & reaction capability
In a future (near) conflict w russia, china, north korea etc, reaction time to threat will be a matter of our survival
I'm quite worried about this & reports about 100,000 North Korean troops heading to the Kursk region of russia
