Even that story is bullshit, because the boat they tracked as being the rented one is relatively small, and they’d brought on several thousand pounds worth of explosives.
That’s something a person could viably become. I think the point is that there was a lack of institutional power or actual military equipment or anything else beyond the reach of an individual being used here.
“But thousands of pounds of explosives”
Yeah, that’s probably the hardest part, but it’s not like any of it was particularly artisanal.
The HCOB Eurozone Manufacturing PMI came in at 43.1 in October 2023, down from 43.4 in September and compared with a preliminary estimate of 43. This marked the sixteenth consecutive month that the Eurozone’s manufacturing sector has been in contraction territory, and the sharpest in three months
Won’t know until in a few decades it all gets declassified but my bet was always a US Navy Special Warfare team, aka SEAL team. That is who the US uses for such operations. Previous week there had been US Navy units doing exercises in the general area. The level of hostility, type of aggressive narrative control, and how key US outlets were already standing ready to suppress certain details made it suspicious from the start.
The US uses the same playbook again and again, makes people suspicious even when the US might not have been involved in events.
The amount of explosives and specialist diving equipment required to do this is actually not trivial.
The idea half a dozen dudes did this in a small yacht is laughable.
The nato ships doing “exercises” to “train” for exactly this type of operation that were in the exact area about 2 weeks beforehand is the immensely more plausible explanation, which points to the UK and USA, probably with the cooperation of Denmark since it was just near to their waters and observation area.
Clear bullshit, right?
If Ukraine could pull this off, I could pull this off. I refuse to believe that international infrastructure could be so vulnerable.

I mean to be fair if you can afford to be a WH40k fan you probably have the resources of a mid-sized Eastern European country.
I doubt I could do it without getting caught, but the fact that I could cripple Europe’s economy with a sailboat and a few explosives is terrifying.

Are you an expert deep sea diver?

I wouldn’t be caught dead using non-artisanal explosives
Bespoke bombs
Whose economy is crippled lol

You’re reading Andreas Malm, they’re living it!

I mean it’s still a state. Lot easier to forge all kinds of documents and get stuff if you’rea already a state.
Sure, but that only matters if you want to avoid getting caught afterwards.
If you can talk the US into turning a blind eye you can pull off a lot
i think we’re capable of more than we think
