Is the admiral wrong?
A nation that would throttle or cut gas supplies and violate contracts is a nation that would cut cables.
cut gas you stay home
cut cable you lose porn
let's pretend for a minute that the UK or any other NATO nation would never touch an undersea cable
we have a whole infrastructure spying on the internet and telecommunications, Five Eyes, NSA, but only barbarians would go near an undersea cable
Caecus the Russian is worried.
How do you know Caecus is Russian? To the best of my knowledge he hasn't said. While I can't be certain, my best educated guess would be he is British. Unless he chooses to reveal where he's from and provided the evidence to verify it I suppose we will never know.
It's absolutely an act of war. As for the UK's ability to actually WAGE such a war, well ...
Thx! What a laughing stock the U.K has become!
He's your workmate. That is how I know.
A laughing stock indeed. War? With Russia or even France, the 'other' enemy? What with? Enfeebled armed forces, no big hitty hurty weapons of any sort worthwhile mentioning, no defence from said weapons being used against the UK, no reserves of trained personnel, weapons, ammunition, fuel, supplies etc.... no means of self-powered energy anymore. Literally the UK is reduced to an island of shopkeepers who can't even now sell to the EU Nasties and is beset with an overflow of illegal gimmegrunts in dingies from the other enemy, France. Add in a weak, pathetic, woke and 'liberal' government lead by a buffoon...the UK is a loser again. Ever since the yanks fucked the UK over WW2 reparations, the Empire and Suez....some ally eh! Do you think Vlad or Winnie is cuddly?
