Summary
A series of suspected sabotage incidents in the Baltic Sea targeting undersea cables and pipelines has heightened tensions between NATO and Russia.
NATO has vowed to increase its presence and surveillance in the region, citing threats from Russia’s “shadow fleet,” which is accused of doubling as sanctions-busting and sabotage vessels.
The shallow Baltic Sea makes critical infrastructure more vulnerable to attacks.
NATO allies are responding with naval patrols, but the risk of escalation remains, as Russia may increase military escorts for its ships.
I’m blown away that three people read that and thought it deserved an up vote:
Seriously?
You think Trump won’t be friendly towards Russia? It’s almost a done deal that he will backstab Ukraine.
I hate to fall into conspiracy theories, but even if Russia doesn’t outright own Trump, they’re easily able to manipulate him by catering to his ego. Trump has mentioned many times that he likes Putin.
Trump is not a regulator, or even a bureaucrat.
Russia does not have hegemony over Europe.
