Summary
European investigators allege that the Chinese-owned ship Yi Peng 3 deliberately dragged its anchor to sever two Baltic Sea undersea data cables connecting Lithuania-Sweden and Finland-Germany.
While the Chinese government is not suspected, officials are probing possible Russian intelligence involvement.
The ship’s suspicious movements, including transponder shutdowns and zig-zagging, suggest deliberate action.
The vessel, linked to Russian trade since March 2024, was carrying Russian fertilizer when stopped.
NATO warships surround the ship, but international maritime laws limit investigators’ access.
International Maritime laws are for sober, sane, classy, respectful, gentlemanly behaviors between countries.
Russia has been the complete opposite, so that means only NATO playing this game fairly. The question is, "The fuck? Why? "
If China gave full access to the investigation the Russians can get fucked too.
Because it still gives us leverage to demand every country other than Russia also play by the rules.
