A country which has actively engaged in these activities needs to be taken seriously: The article said: such activity would be decidedly on-brand for a country that continues to bait the West with disinformation bots, cyberattacks, drones, incursions into sovereign waters, and de facto attacks on undersea cables. Or do you believe the official line that the "Inspector" satellite is really just there to look after Russia's own satellites? Reply
