So to keep score, in the last year we've seen cables sabotaged between Finland and Germany, Lithuania and Sweden, Estonia and Sweden, Estonia and Finland. Any others I missed? You might say it's too early to call it sabotage, but the earliest two cable incidents were exactly the same, so it's hardly a coincidence at this point.

Russia warned that they were going to do this last week. I think it's pretty reasonable to conclude that 1) this was sabotage and 2) it was Russia.

I guess they warned in their own way, of "nice cables you've got there, it would be a shame if someone... sabotaged them".

They're constantly saying this about everything.

every once in a while they actually follow through with some. they need some prison mafia credibility to not look like total clowns.
