It'd be nice to see stories about a western navy or two getting off its butt, and actually trying to discourage "accidents" which damage critical infrastructure.

On the other hand, I'd rather see cables get cut than watch shells get lobbed between world powers.

at these points, these cable cuts are more dangerous than actual bombs

? Seriously?

Cables getting cut is only dangerous because it’s an escalation that may lead to bombs. There aren’t thousands of civilians dying because Finland doesn’t have high speed fibre to Germany.
