I smell Muscovite bullshit. Significant amounts of it.

laurieboy.bsky.social•47 days ago

This cuts through the underhand BS.
A ’tool’ is being designed, or rather being refined for dual use…

Maybe a key technical point is that dragging an anchor requires a continuous course-correction, as the anchor will pull the ship in unexpected directions, compared to what winds and currents will.

So the steer-person will need course correct continuously, esp when needing to turn....

miskaknapek.bsky.social•47 days ago

... as the anchor will drag the ship sideways, especially when turning, as opposed to going in a straight line.

Thus, dragging a chain on the bottom of the sea takes continuous monitoring and course correction. It won't go unnoticed.

Is this a new era of 'Finlandisation' or a fake news?

anderspucknielsen.dk•47 days ago

I think it’s pretty clear these journalists are being played, but I don’t think it’s by the Russians.

arners.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes, please elaborate if possible. It's getting complicated.

historysami.bsky.social•47 days ago

Not complicated.

Good ole PSYOPS.

lorrden.openorbit.org•47 days ago

Extraordinary claims like WP and VG comes with demand extraordinary evidence or at least an extraordinary explanation fitting the facts, we have seen none of that.

slavagondor.bsky.social•47 days ago

Do you think this reflects a continuation of the strategy of "no visible response" you've described in the past? Thanks

historysami.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oh yes, it is the RuZZians.

But with due help from theior MAGA lovers.

ilvestoomas.bsky.social•47 days ago

The “anonymous experts “ as opposed to the open real experts seem to be in the US government

miskaknapek.bsky.social•47 days ago

Heaven forbid they'd need increased support to Ukraine, due to public pressure, sparked by Russian hybrid warfare.

kristjan17.bsky.social•47 days ago

Also, Finland seizing the vessel could trigger a global nuclear war. Even though russia had nothing to do with it... 😉

tonylindn.bsky.social•47 days ago

I doubt it could - as far as I know Cook island does not have nukes. ;)

ca4ua.bsky.social•47 days ago

This.
All the this.

kristjan17.bsky.social•47 days ago

Sullivan's swansong?

niaru.bsky.social•46 days ago

I think the same - possibly willingly played.

sarahbeck.bsky.social•47 days ago

By Trump's people?

tekmic64.bsky.social•47 days ago

I guess that we will se more of this kind for the next four years.

anderspucknielsen.dk•47 days ago

We have seen the same thing before in this war.

jkkuisma.bsky.social•47 days ago

Most probable that there cannot be a proof of sabotage or of accident. Main question: why is someone wanting to take a bet on an accident and feeding it as a fact to the press, while the investigation is still ongoing and the Finnish authorities are contracting these claims? Timing is interesting.

kristjan17.bsky.social•47 days ago

Wow. It seems the Finns agree it was not intentional and 🇷🇺 was not involved.

hrobak67.bsky.social•47 days ago

Exactly!

When you drop an anchor incidently, it sounds like all hell is breaking loose - and as stated - try to pull a trailor with no wheels.

All talk about accidental drops followed by tens of miles of dragging an anchor unnoticed is flat out bullshit!

stephenmarks.bsky.social•47 days ago

I have never sailed any kind of boat but can imagine it would be very difficult to overlook.

hrobak67.bsky.social•47 days ago

Sure isn't, sure isn't 😁

So, legit sources intentionally putting a spin on it? It seems someone really wants to play this down, as they have with a lot of other spillover.
