As the investigation into damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure continues, Finland's Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz said it’s hard to believe sabotage to the undersea gas pipeline was accidental — or that it happened without Beijing’s knowledge.

“I'm not the sea captain. But I would think that you would notice that you're dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,” Adlercreutz said in an interview Thursday in Brussels. “I think everything indicates that it was intentional. But of course, so far, nobody has admitted to it.”

Finland and Estonia have been investigating the rupture of the Balticconnector, a 77-kilometer-long gas pipeline that connects the two NATO members beneath the Baltic Sea. The pipeline was damaged around October 7-8, along with two telecoms cables connecting Estonia to Finland and Sweden.

An investigation by Finnish authorities identified as the main suspect Chinese container ship Newnew Polar Bear, which is believed to have dragged its anchor across the Baltic Sea seabed, cutting through the cables and gas lines. The anchor — which weighs 6,000 kilograms — was retrieved a few meters from the site of the damage. https://www.politico.eu/article/balticconnector-damage-likely-to-be-intentional-finnish-minister-says-china-estonia/

🇷🇺✈️ Today, we can say that the rarest event in the history of both military aviation and in the history of Russia happened.

The aircraft of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Russia made a non-stop flight to the United Arab Emirates accompanied by a fighter wing of the Russian Aerospace Forces with weapons.

The rarity is that, in principle, there are only a few such cases in the world, if there were such cases at all, because there are no other such fighters in the world that can fly such distances with weapons, without refueling and without outboard fuel tanks.

After they arrived, they also staged a small air show.

The day was not in vain.

It's worth a try.

A Compendious History of the Goths, Swedes, and Vandals (1658).

A Compendious History of the Goths, Swedes, and Vandals is a book written by Olaus Magnus, a Swedish archbishop and historian, in the 16th century. It is a historical account of the ancient and medieval peoples of northern Europe, especially the Scandinavians, the Germans, and the Slavs. The book covers topics such as geography, climate, customs, religion, warfare, politics, and legends of these regions. It is based on Magnus’s own observations, as well as classical and medieval sources, and contains many illustrations and maps. The book was first published in Latin in 1555, and later translated into English in 1658. It is considered one of the most important works of early Scandinavian history and culture.
