Arrr! EU’s bigwig be sayin’ them underwater cable shenanigans by Russia and China ain’t just a merry happenstance!
2025-01-14
Arrr! It be said that scallywags from the East, China and Russia, be plottin' dastardly deeds against them underwater cables that link our telecommunication treasures and power booty ‘twixt Asia and Europe. A right swashbucklin’ conspiracy, I warrant ye! Avast, me hearties!
Arrr matey! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of high seas mischief, for it seems those scallywags from Russia and China be up to no good, snippin’ at the very cables that keep our lands connected! In the murky depths of the Baltic Sea and the South China Sea, these brutes be draggin’ anchors like they’re plundering treasure, cuttin’ vital communication lines quicker than a cutlass in a tavern brawl!Just last November, those sneaky Chinese buccaneers aboard the Yi Peng 3 cut cables linking Sweden and Lithuania, and then did the same to Finland's lifeline to Germany! And what be their excuse? "It was all an accident," they claimed, but savvy sailors know better! It’s as if they be followin’ a treasure map to our digital underbelly!
Our mates in the EU be raisin’ their eyebrows, declarin’ that this be no mere coincidence, but a grand plot hatched by the Kremlin and the Chinese dragon. Why, even the former Lithuanian Foreign Minister quipped, "If I had a nickel for every time a Chinese ship got tangled in our cables, I’d have two, which be peculiar!"
So strap on yer eyepatch and keep a weather eye on the horizon, for the seas be dangerous, and we might just be sailin’ into stormy waters where the cables of our future lie! Avast, let the winds of vigilance blow strong! Arrr!
