What is always done: roll over, lube up the asshole, pull the cheeks open and shout “one more time uncle putler!”

Are you thinking of america?

Yes. Apologies for not being clear about that

How about an equal retaliation? I propose that NATO should calculate what fraction of Finland's international bandwidth was cut, NATO should cut Internet cables to Russia in quantity sufficient to disconnect a similar proportion.

Also, arrest everyone on that boat.

I say we fully cut them off completely.

Higher possibility for a revolt as people are attached to the Internet.

Throw them overboard.
