Why is there so much media hype over this when
it doesn't really amount to anything since there are loads of alternative routes, unlike some areas of the world that have a bunch of cables going through one strip of ocean (🇾🇪)
even if it did have some impact, what military goal was it accomplishing? Even the Nord Stream sabotage could have some argued benefit to Russia, but Finland isn't even collaborating with Ukraine beyond NATO; if Finland was at risk they'd have sent VDV over Helsinki by now.
Even if it had an impact, and it had an actual military benefit to Russia, is there legitimately any evidence of sabotage? (genuinely asking) because I've seen opinions from "these things are basically constantly being eaten by everything in the ocean that has a mouth" and "fibre optic cables are invincible except when they ingest polonium-spiked black tea".
Probably because it's the one thing they can put out there that doesn't put 'the west' in a terrible light? Like what other news are there? Genocide in Gaza which USA, UK and Germany are helping so can't report on that. Climate disasters can't do that one. General impending right-wing shift in politics thanks to the failures of european governments and decreasing standards of living can't do that one either. Germany coalition collapsing.... protest actions all over, jailing pro-palestine protesters etc. etc.
There is no good news out there currently except this is the one where finally they get to point fingers at the perfidious slav.
