The Spin

Narrative A

After falling out of operation for the majority of 2024, there are many possible explanations for this cable's shutdown. Although the possibility of sabotage has been floated, the world must wait for a thorough analysis and investigation before jumping to any conclusions. Whatever the case, the Finnish prime minister has been clear that his country remains unaffected.

Narrative B

While it's not yet clear whether this damage was even the result of sabotage, Russia (along with other nations) has undoubtedly adopted a 'gig economy' approach to the recruitment of saboteurs in recent months, all with the aim of disrupting, delaying, and degrading its enemies. Sabotage has historically never dealt a decisive blow, but hastened the weakening and decay of key infrastructure, as is the case here.
