Summary
The undersea Estlink-2 power cable linking Finland and Estonia experienced an outage on Wednesday, prompting an investigation, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo announced.
Authorities stated the disruption will not affect electricity supplies in Finland or Estonia.
Concerns are heightened due to recent incidents involving undersea infrastructure in the Baltic, including severed data cables in November and the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines.
The cause of the Estlink-2 outage remains unclear.
When will the world deal with Putin properly?
When his candidate elect causes a recession in the US, triggering a global recession, causing the energy market to retract, affecting his ability to pay his window cleaners, causing him to take a terrible fall out of one when attempting to clean them himself
What should they do?
Bomb the shit out of the russian military and enegy sector by flooding Ukraine with weapons.

…summon a proper military vessel…
Like a missile.

Send a bill to the governing body of the country where it’s registered and add on a hefty service charge to cover labor/materials/cleanup.
Do tell us what “proper” handling of Putin would be.
Assassination.
That’d create a power vacuum, and we sure as hell don’t want to risk someone worse taking his place.
The assassinations will continue until morale improves.
Would be pretty damn hard to do that
Well tbh Medvedev has this suicidal tendency to start a nuclear WW3. He can’t wait to press that damn red button. He is the likely successor and as much as I despise putin, at least he’s “just” a bloodthirsty sociopath who doesn’t want to unalive himself
The first rule of history is that it can always get worse.
Maybe it doesn’t. Or maybe somebody starts a nuclear war to avenge Putin.
Putler strikes again
Via a Chinese ship anchor.
Apparently The Chinese vessel Xin Xin Tiang was sailing over it when it happened

Time to ban ALL Chinese vessels from the area.
If China can redraw their oceanographic borders, so can Europe.
That particular one is Taiwanese I believe, and passed several minutes before the outage maintaining a constant pace.
Finnish border guard has stopped a tanker registered to Cook Islands that’s part of the Russian shadow fleet, which slowed down significantly while crossing the cable and was on site when the outage started.

suprise
Hope they don’t “rush in” to any conclusions.

Do you know of any good articles exploring this power grid infrastructure disconnection?
Damn, again?
I’ve always found it with that we just have these very important wires just lying there exposed on the sea bed… You’d think this kind of stack would have happened much more previously
I wonder what he gets out of it. I can understand the Kremlin making arson attacks happening in Europe for example, but this? What’s the end goal here?
For me it will just awaken the sleepy countries faster.
Usually there’s not that much of a reason to sow dissent against Russia, but Ukraine is losing pretty badly and there’s not a another nordstream for them to blow up.
Yes Ivan, here is 100 rubbles for your indoor toilet fund.
It was either the US or Ukraine, depending on if you believe Seymour Hersh.
That single act destroyed the economy of Germany and is probably the single act most responsible for AfD doing so well now.
It would also have been the first act of war by a NATO member against another NATO member, if you believe Seymour Hersh.
It was far far more destructive then cutting an internet line, and yet everyone here seems to forgotten it because it is a problematic thing to be concerned by for thee people that want war with a nuclear power.
What are you even talking about. You sounds like a schizophrenic who forgot to take their medication, answering questions that exists only in your own mind.

And you sound like a racist.
The person you were responding to correctly pointed out the destruction of the Nordstream was done by …well, not Russia. And the destruction of that underwater pipe ( very much like an underwater cable) was used as a propaganda point by trying to blame Russia for its destruction.
Not a hard analogy to understand.
Huh, racist and poor reading comprehension. I guess it should be obvious those two would go together.
Lol, where are the real astroturfers? You’re so bad at it is stings.
Did they get sent to the meat grinder?
Blyat!
Hmm. Fishy. The article makes it sound like they sea it as an accident. Hopefully this incident doesn’t rise up any waves.
