I am curious about the implications of the cables that were sabotaged between Lithuania and Sweden. From what I read, it caused internet problems in both countries and will be expensive to fix. But is there a greater strategical reason to do it? Like if a war between NATO and Russia did break out, would not having those cables functioning give Russia a strategic advantage, or is this sort of thing just petty stuff meant to antagonize and annoy?
I honestly am little more disturbed about the reports earlier in the year that they were developing weapons specifically to take out satellites, and then their explicit threat about a week ago to use them. That could really mess things up for everyone.
