"Still, the mainstream media headlines in the West have perpetuated the idea that this is all a nefarious Russian plot, and it's unlikely that the actual final results of the Swedish investigation debunking this will get much air time."
Some have reacted with the feeling that the talking heads shifted their tone when Trump became president.
The tanker that damaged EstLink 2 was dragging it's anchor for ca 100km. Quite incredible if it was an accident...
And of course the questions should be asked:-
How easily and untracebly is one able to arrange such a sabotage operation
vs
How much evidence will there be, and how easily are Swedish/Finnish police able to prove it was sabotage?
Suppose someone tells a crewmember/captain (usually Indian, Georgian, Philipino) of one of these scrappy boats that if they drop anchor at these cordinates and drag it they will receive 50.000 USD or 100.000 USD?
The rest of the logistics I don't know. How many people are needed to drop anchor, who would notice, who would dare say anything etc, the reliability of the rest of the crew. But if they all say that they didn't know and it was an accident then the police probably have nothing...
Ukraine now looks like the present state of Gaza. The death, injured and displaced people in numbers are exorbitant in both cases. Now we know what this war was really about. It is about land and its resources and the numbers killed for it is of little consequence to THEM.
Trump has finally figured out how to compensate US military expenses in Ukraine! Trump continues the war with Russia, and Ukraine gives him mineral resources in exchange! - RN.

@ThePrisoner Will be interesting to see, if you have the time, and interest, what your sources are saying about the new developments in the Kursk region.
Zelensky's new counteroffensive in Kursk region has failed. Ukraine is running out of men, so they have started preparing women and children for the trenches. - RN.
I'm curious, does this article in the Finnish rag Iltalehti (it's quite horrible) seem like merely propaganda for someone with a very pro Russian mindset? Not quite sure if anyone here really has one?
A forty-something IT professional openly talks about what everyday life is like for ordinary people in a country that is now increasingly closed off.
Just a couple of years ago, Russia's future looked completely different than it does now, says Denis, an IT professional in his forties . At the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, he imagined that the war would soon end and Vladimir Putin's regime would fall.
If Denis had known what was going to happen, he would have moved away from Russia, he says now.
Ilta-Sanomat first interviewed Denis in a cottage village in southeastern Finland in the fall of 2022. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Russian men fled the country due to partial mobilization. However, Denis returned to his homeland later that year.
A lot has changed in our eastern neighbor during the almost three-year-long war in Ukraine.
“There is no longer any opposition in Russia. All the dissidents have moved to Dubai, Europe or elsewhere in the world,” Denis describes.
He estimates that the Russian regime has achieved complete control over the country's information space. Most Western social media platforms, such as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, are blocked. Denis uses the services via VPN, but the regime has also tried to block the use of a virtual private network.
– Maybe 10-15 percent of us use a VPN, but I have also decided not to read or watch any news from state media anymore.
