Denmark and Sweden should just close off lake NATO to all non nato shipping. And any non nato ship that is allowed will have coastguard personell onboard during their stay in lake NATO. The cost of the operation is levied as toll on the ships.

Or Military takes all ships causing damage as compensation.

How many not-attack attacks are required until retaliation is on the table?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Best retaliation is more arms to Ukraine - a war that is already in progress and so you don't risk starting a new war.

They say once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action. Seems we're past that now.

Also a power cable Estlink 2 was cut. Finnish authorities have seized a vessel called Eagle S for likely having caused the damages. Finland's border guards were close by when it happened, and they saw that Eagle S's anchor was missing.

Yes, yes, then they observe repairs, duration ect, and come up with a plan for grow to delay further, so they can then use the information in the coming war.

Here's an idea: execute the crew, seize the vessels, use loyal Chinese speakers for a mock return journey, monitor the radio (eg. do counter intelligence).

Keep those executions up, see how often it happens after you execute a few boats worth of officers. If that doesn't work, blockade the Strait of Malaca, the path China imports their oil by.

Oh, you can't do any of this because you outsourced all your manufacturing to China in the 1990s push for privatization screwing the local working class over?

Capitalism is dangerous for national security.

execute the crew

Ahh, muricans.

If you're fine with Luigi Mangione, you should be fine with executing foriegn spies who want worse for your Nation than even health insurance CEOs.

Cable cutting ship full of spy equipment

It comes down to the fundamental question; do you think a nation has to use deadly force to protect itself. If you say no - (including what Luigi Mangione did), then you're the reason billionaires rule with impunity, because there's no consequences to defrauding the nation, to spying on it, to plotting it's demise, or attacking it's infrastructure.

People need to understand, if you want to protect democracy and freedom, you have to be willing to kill for it. That's all that politics comes down to, where that force is directed. You say: No, kill no one, then you will not have a nation as soon as an invading army knows this weakness.

"No" means you do not want to have a nation. That's a pipedream.

Yeaah, I don't know about the rest of you but this is not the world I want to live in.

Summarily executing people over circumstantial evidence is also bad for national security. Glad you aren't involved in international geopolitics.
