My guess is the oil

Exactly.

And probably many other resources, like traderoutes and territories. In the Northpole there is another " cold war" going on as the ice is melting. There are conflicting claims from USA,Canada, Europe, but also from China and Russia.

From the artic institute( USA):

"In 2009, global interest in the Arctic surged when the US Geological Survey estimated the Arctic held 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and 30 percent of the world’s natural gas. That same year, the US hosted the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting to reaffirm cooperation.(…)

“Climate change has rapidly transformed the Arctic, making previously inaccessible areas more available for economic and strategic use. The North Sea Route (NSR) and the Northwest Passage (NWP) could become economically viable by 2023”

This, and also if we are talking about " Global Silence " concerning (bad) stuff happening in the world, there is so much that doesn’t even make the usual headlines.

For example, in Sudan , approximately 23 million children in Sudan are exposed to violence, abuse and exploitation. "

This isn’t whataboutism, just that the title is shitty.

China up to all the same fuckery as Russia.

Yeah, seems that way for sure. Been thinking about the arguments made in the comments here, and the most plausible explanation to me, is that it’s part of a psy-ops. Someone is benefiting from the chaos in de BalticSea, and probing to check out the new Nato defense protocols & responses or something Remember that the Northern European/ Baltic Nato borders recently expanded due to the membership of Sweden en Finland. The mobility of the Russian Kalijigrad naval base is therefore enormously being reduced.

Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find. It’s perfectly plausible that the crew consists of a bunch of idiots.

It isn’t even a proper investigation as I read it. There were Chinese officials supervising the activities. Though I wonder what they could find, after the crew had ample time to get prepared, and to get rid of whatever evidence they might have had.

But they did drag the anchor for 100 miles (link WSJ). Dragging an anchor for 100 miles would’ve been very noticeable for any crewmember, experts say.
