For newbies: In January 1991, Gorbachev sent his OMON in the Baltics to squash the independence movements. The context was Baltic boys abandoning the USSR conscription requirements and USSR economic failures.

Rustbucket zombie-tanker ARCUSAT/TAVIAN/TIA will enter Baltics in ~3 days.
This will be her third fetch of Russian oil since October.
No flag, no state, no identity and no registry -> she is basically lawless.
Some would even argue states have obligations here.

In the early, "Wild West 1990s", the Baltics were Independent, but the Red Army was still in place.
It turns out that Currency Exchange was a big business that even Moscow needed.

Reminder.
It is extremely unlikely that a grouping of 6 cable breaks in a week are explained by common causes.
A lot of cables break each year, and any one might be from a benign cause. But not this many.

There is an estimated 1 in 10k - 100k years chance that all 8 of the Nov 2024 - Jan 2025 Baltic Sea cable breaks are coincidental.
Background data is hard to get by but no matter which real data or reasonable assumption one picks it is extremely unlikely all 8 of them are explained by chance.

An article from December 1996 warns that Bulgaria has no chance of joining Europe and the euro would replace the lev only after the second coming of Christ. Brace yourselves, the euro replaces the lev tonight at midnight! 🤣(and, of course, Bulgaria did join the EU in 2007).
