Eagle S, the Russia-linked tanker suspected of damaging an underwater electricity cable on Christmas Day, was kitted out with special transmitting and receiving devices that were used to monitor naval activity, according to a source with direct involvement in the ship, which has since been detained by Finnish police

    The company’s website claims the company be registered in England

    I like how the author briefly breaks character and reveals themself as a 19th century pirate.

      I mean, I guess the tanker was acting like a privateer.

      The dawn of the second age of pirates be at hand.

    Couldn’t cutting the cable be classed as an act of war against two NATO members?

      We have been de facto at war for a while. And world War 3 has already been raging for years now. Just none of it is presently like the movies and fiction told people what it would be.

      Depending on what America decides to do the next year could see a change in that. Russia and Europe could start shooting at each other sooner than anyone wants to admit. Not because Europe is itching to get into a nuclear war. But more because Russia is a dying nation and will act more and more erratic as they lose control of their empire.

    Yeah I saw it reported in a few online publications all crediting Lloyd’s as the source. I think it took longer to hit mainstream news because of the holidays. FYI, I didn’t think it was to embarrass Russia, I’m just leary of war propaganda (remember Ghost of Kiev?) and anything click-baity. Actual news reporting/opinion/bullshit all look the same online. Nobody wants to pay for anything anymore and that doesn’t help

    Any news organizations besides “Lloyd’s List” reporting this?

      Lloyd’s List is one of the world’s oldest continuously running journals, having provided weekly shipping news in London as early as 1734. But, sure, they could have made the whole thing up to make Russia look bad. :) Look around, maybe you can find something more credible to your tastes.
