Swedish authorities say they have detected a Chinese ship moving near two telecoms cables that failed within hours of each other on the Baltic Sea bed in recent days.

Prosecutors in Stockholm have launched a preliminary investigation into suspected sabotage, hours after Germany dubbed the cable failure part of a “hybrid operation”.

On Sunday morning at about 10am, Swedish authorities registered problems with a data cable under the Baltic Sea from the Öland island to Lithuania. At 4am on Monday, telecoms operators in Finland and Germany reported problems with another cable called C-Lion-1.

Both cables were damaged in the Swedish economic zone, prompting prosecutors in Stockholm to take the investigation lead.

      So what does that mean? If .lm communities openly support Russia’s war in Ukraine, is it a ‘stance of absolute moral superiority’ to condemn this because the same happens elsewhere? (It should be a matter of course, but just to mention it: We must condemn genocide everywhere, no matter where it happens.)

        I am admittedly having a hard time putting my contention with this into words in a way that makes sense. I may have chosen the wrong hill to die on. In which case, sorry for that “absolute moral stance”. I do think the remainder of that comment holds up, though.

          So it’s the only community that is openly supporting genocide, right? That’s obvious I guess.

            Absolutely not. I mentioned the Bear and Grad servers before. I am pretty sure you’ll find niches supporting the Gaza war or supporting other genocidal conflicts.

            Since .ml is the server advertized to people via join-lemmy:org, it also attracts a more diverse crowd, so not every user there is a tankie.

              No, not every user is a tankie there. I perfectly agree with that. Many users are unaware when they join the server.

              But those who are responsible there are the same or at least have the same mindset like the Bear and Grad servers.
