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.

    The time to act on this was several months ago, now its too late. Russia regulatory captured the US, the US wont go to war alongside Europe against Russia now, So now, Europe either has to prepare for a shooting war, or accept russian hegemony over europe.
