This is the 2nd time China did this in that Baltic isn't it? Both times look intentional.. maybe don't allow Chinese ships in the Baltic?

That would not swing.

Denmark controls the waters of the seaway to Sct. Petersburg and Kaliningrad that are some of the strategically most important ports of Russia.

Blocking of traffic to these would be a severe escalation.

Regularly Russian subs pass through Danish waters - controlled and allowed.

Damaging infrastructure is already a severe escalation. Should not have done that.

These are times to chill - unless we want a full on nuclear war.

(I do realize that in particular US citizens have very high confidence in their own military capacity and might be overly bullish on situations like these)

On the contrary, chilling would endanger everyone living the in the free world even further.
