    There’s only one country who has been running around doing this the past two decades. They’ve been confirmed to be in these areas, AND they have the capability.

    Ladies and Gentlemen…RUSSIA!

    You sad ass pieces of shit.

      Let’s not all rush to blame Russia. Sharks could have also done it too.

      Can’t you just drop a small anchor (on a decently large ship) and drag it along the sea floor? This type of attack doesn’t submarines.

        Yes, in fact, that’s what happened last time the whole Arab peninsula was knocked off the Internet.

      Is there additional reading I can do on the topic? I’ve googled but found nothing but concerns from Nato officials that Russia could engage in seabed sabotage. This comment is universally praised so I guess it’s some universal knowledge I missed. What are some instances when they did it?

        Near the beginning of the Ukraine War, someone damaged an underwater pipeline. It was from Russia but Russia couldn’t use it because of sanctions. I don’t recall any one figuring out who it was, so everyone blamed Russia, except those blaming Ukraine , or somehow there was a reason for US

      Why would Russian government need to do this kind of thing? You should separate their PR part (which is destructive and incompetent) and things actually done.

          One can imagine lots of reasons, confidently name none, which probably is the goal.

            First lie wins then after that the most interesting one

            So if you do something wrong say you did something else worse and make every spend their time fighting that first story

          Yeah, but for like a full year the US, the EU, and the press blamed Russia. Even though it’s obvious they knew full well who did it. Let alone that this explanation made no sense at all anyway.
