NATO is ready to help Finland and Estonia as Finnish authorities probe an oil tanker that sailed from a Russian port over the possible "sabotage" of a power cable linking the two member countries, alliance chief Mark Rutte has said.
"Spoke with (Estonian Prime Minister) Kristen Michal about reported possible sabotage of Baltic Sea cables. NATO stands in solidarity with Allies and condemns any attacks on critical infrastructure.
"We are following investigations by Estonia and Finland, and we stand ready to provide further support," Mr Rutte said on X.
Earlier, Finnish authorities said they were investigating an oil tanker that sailed from a Russian port for the "sabotage" of a power cable linking Finland and Estonia that was damaged the previous day.
The Cook Islands-registered ship, named by authorities as the Eagle S, was boarded by a Finnish coast guard crew which took command in the Baltic Sea and sailed the vessel to Finnish waters, a coast guard official told a press conference.
"From our side we are investigating grave sabotage," Robin Lardot, Director of the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation, said.
"According to our understanding an anchor of the vessel that is under investigation has caused the damage," he added.
Can we develop a laser that we mount on a tower in each country that just transmits those same information, instead of going through a cable in international waters?
I mean how big could the cables be? Just add more lasers for more information. Like, just mount 1000 lasers on one end pointed at 1000 receivers on the other side, do the same for the other way around. Boom, no more cable cutting. Unlike radio, you don't run out of the spectrum. Need more bandwidth? Just ADD MORE LASERS!!!
Why don't countries just do this?
(Is my idea stupid? ๐ค)
earth is round
Just use heavier light so it curves with the earth. Duhhh ;)
You have to be careful with that kind of thing, because too much heavy light will make a light black hole.
I believe that's how black light gets made.
not a grey hole!!
