Admit that Russia is waging war on the West. We should not be producing an episode of CSI: NATO Article V.
The increased frequency of underwater infrastructure damage across Europe has raised legal challenges related to the jurisdiction and ownership of undersea cables, which may limit NATO’s ability to respond.
The majority of critical undersea infrastructure is located in international waters, which means would-be saboteurs can take advantage of oversight gaps.
The effects of the sabotage are in NATO states. Case closed. Claiming we can't react is just doing Russia's legal work for them to pretend there is a loophole that prevents NATO from responding. The urge to ignore this war is strong.
As I've long said, hybrid war is simple. Russia attacks a country. Russia denies attacking a country. And the West goes along with Russia's lie.
