First it was NS2, now the cables. I wonder if they'll admit the claims of Russian EM weapons--so-called Havana syndrome--are likewise groundless.

Now watch the majority of the news outlets who published the sabotage accusation not mention this at all.

Just like many Russian accidents, those undersea cables just fell out of windows.

Sorry, are you implying that, out of all media, WaPo is spreading Russian propaganda?!

Wonder why Bezos' media channel, aligned with Trump, aligned with etc. is the only source on this..

Meanwhile the investigators in question deny this because of course they deny and we can't trust those either.

Lol the article even has community notes

The comments overwhelmingly express skepticism about the conclusion that undersea cable damage was caused by maritime accidents rather than Russian sabotage. Many commenters argue that it is implausible for ships to accidentally drag anchors for long distances without noticing, suggesting intentional actions instead. There is a strong sentiment that the article's headline misrepresents the content, with accusations of spreading misinformation and downplaying potential Russian involvement.
