Your videos never fail to impress me. From the visual presentation to the extensive research behind each piece. Very much appreciated work!

Really well done! Great visuals combined with great research, a killer combination indeed!

That's a very good video! It's rare to see it highlighted just how much water plays a key role on Europe, compared to the relative bulkiness of China or the US which have landmassas which are more blobby.

That's totally true. Amendments to the international conventions are needed

Interesting, despite living in Europe, I didn't know/tend to forget how vulnerable we are to economic attacks. Especially from the sea

It should be mentioned though that the shetland cable was probably cut by a fishing vessel and not a russian attack

EU really need to set up a real defensive alliance and insitutions ASAP. NATO is not enough, is more aligned with USA interest than Europeans ones. We are entering a more violent world, where developed countries like Europeans ones are envied and contested. We need to enter this world prepared and armed. Europe is largely capable to develop a strong navy, air force, space force and army.

This channel is really top notch for in-depth analysis of European current events and their historical precedents. Cheers.

Finally some Europe centric channel as European I felt felt out with regards to how US centric YT is.

This is the first time I have watched a video from your channel and it was absolutely amazing. Great job and love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 🇪🇺🇪🇺

The quality of your video is impeccable and the topic is well researched. A+

This is the first time I've seen your videos. I'm blown away. Looking forward to seeing your growth. Great video and presentation by the way!

Great video as usual. Would like to especially point out the choice of topic and the animations. Thank you for the content!

I think you're doing a great job! It's a great analysis and opens a rich discussion. However, I think we all would appreciate a document in which you provide your sources. That would make you one of the few informers that do provide such document which, nowadays, I think its really important to at least evaluate the content and its interpretation. Thanks a lot for your work!

Beautiful video!

In the first 30 seconds I've seen better CGI in this clip than the entire Marvel phase 4

Thank you for making this video. It's very cognizant

Really good! Please, continue. Also please review the subtitles, they spell your words like “NAITO”, “Neito” (instead of NATO) and “offer” (instead of “offshore”).

We need an EU coastguard, like frontex and interpol, but seperate. Maybe devided into three zones

This is such a well made video ❤️

Actually are 4 zones Territorial waters, Border zone, EEZ and Open sea

Internet cable in Shetland was cut off by a fishing boat.

Great video!

That is where I recognized the set from! Nu ben ik wel benieuwd of jullie gerelateerd zijn :) Maar maakt ook niet uit. Beide maken jullie super goede video's! Doe de groeten aan Joeri ;)

Thank you dutch guy. I appreciate your videos

this strikes me as a core around which to start a European military. just a whole bunch of aerial and naval surveillance capability that protects the European coastline and EEA. once this stands you can slowly add other capabilities until you have the individual countries can safely disband their own military.

Great video

I didnt know the ships responsible are known. Sweden didnt want to specify who did it for reasons unknown.

There seems to be some techincal issues with this video where certain scenes are in a really low fps, the transitions at 02:09 and the entire 02:30 to 02:40 segment.

solid underwater stuff

3:12 @IntoEurope, 12 NMi is NOT 18 km, it is 22.2 km

Good Video

Well, you can essentially park a platform or a ship at a offshore wind farm park since and it will provide all the energy they needs for upkeep. Then you can install sensors running cross the cables and have drones patrol the route filming it. Like you said in the video, the problem with retaliation is providing proof of who's saboteur is. Also, Europe can't just allow for endless streams of sabotages just because they can't catch the actor with the hand in the cookie jar. At some point they will have had enough and do their own covert missions.

Yeah … great subject indeed

Didn't even hear about the shetland cable until now, jesus. I think we've grown up in this post ww2 and post cold war world where everything in europe is sunshine and blue skies - but this has skewed our view on how the world works.

I hope everything is fine. You only post 1 video a month according to your video posts which sucks because you dish out really good content.

Thank you for the Tenet mention. Forgot to watch it. 😅

CLEAR and CONCISE

Well it’s hard to defend the 2nd largest coast line in the world. 🇳🇴

German-Russo gas line exploded. Poland: such a loss, very sad, anyway

Just have too see who benefited the most from the Nord Stream incidents, and surprisingly it not Russia.

Please talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

The only agreement I could foresee taking place relatively easily is a defence agreement between the UK, Norway, and potentially Denmark and the Netherlands regarding the North Sea and the assets the countries possess within the region.

I don't think that protecting it is the right solution or even possible. Such cables are way to long to be monitored to detect the samll threats that could damage it. But using multiple connected systems to cover if one of them fails, secrecy and military together cN achieved good results

Wait, that was a plot point in tenet? I must have zoned out.

I really appreciate that you bring to surface these issues. If the Europea nations would dispatch warship to fight pirates off the coasdt Aden and Somalia, then this state of affair is frankly unacceptable. Espcially given then in between UK EU and all the allied countries can practically divi up the North Sea like an inland lake of Europe. The Baltic and medieterranean are tricky but given the will it's definitely managable. If internal sabotage is sth you even need to worry about then you can say good bye to this European integration projet

The failure of the Shetlands connectors was assigned to damage caused by a trawler, it has happened before. There are huge amounts of infrastructure in the North Sea that have been there since the 1980s. The infrastructure incorporates large amounts of redundancy, there are specific failure modes, including catastrophic loss of the most important assets, which are specified when security of supply is annually assessed for oil, gas and other services provided to the UK. Responsibility of offshore assets has been the responsibility of the Royal Navy since 1546. The Coastguard is not responsible for guarding assets in the UK EEZ. The Royal Navy has recently purchased two ships specifically for the purpose of protecting assets There are many protective systems deployed in the North Sea and North Atlantic for tracking submarines and undersea drones, including hydrophones and magnetic anomaly detectors, some of which are located on the UK mainland. Turbines are amongst the most monitored infrastructure in place in the world. Turbine performance is replicated by digital twins which would immediately detect any deviation in predicted and measured behaviour of the turbine structure resulting from the illegal presence of persons. In any event, it is difficult and dangerous to transfer people to offshore assets. There is absolutely no possibility of the UK providing any access to its EEZ by navies or coastguard of other countries as it will impact the security of the UK's nuclear deterrent. I would imagine that France would adopt the same attitude.

The reason why such sabotages happened is because EU countries are not at war, despite what some say. If they were, any suspect ship would be kept out of EU waters, or sunk. European navies are good enough for that.

Had never thought about this. In theory the Russians could just pull up near an offshore wind farm do some sort of weapons test which takes out the wind farm and it would all be legal. Mind-blowing.

honestly by this logic, no one can protect its coasts... and guess what - it makes sense if you understand the vastness of the sea

I just don't know how we are supposed to defend submarine cables

Your audio is clipping between cuts

Cool

Europe needs a small-ship armed navy like our Coast Guard and a tracking system for all ships and boats in the vulnerable areas with arrest and lethal force authority.

The 200 miles exclusive zone are the responsibilitie of the country that "owns" the resources on that area of the ocean.

the audible clicks every time a photo comes up, is over used and unpleasant.

Can't believe i read a comment saying shots to the pretty nerd boy are not necessary like what talk about being unrelatable and uninformed 🙄🙄🙄

Pls, make video on private colleges vs public college? Why is private colleges performs better than public?

Question why can't frontex patrol the seas like a navy

Layin cable to Cyprus through Turkish EEZ is not a good idea, dont say we didnt warn you....

Weakness keeps us inovate things.

It's all in the bag 😅

EU needs a navy

An EU navy and EU army should be formed. Little insignificant regions at the whim of bigger powers is not sustainable for us. This isn’t the 19th century, Europe needs a revival of power.

You can't protect underwater pipes or cable's anywhere!!!

Europe shoud give back Kaliningrad region back to native Baltic Prussians, so the security of Baltic would be mostly resolved.

Just goes to show you that Europe NEEDS American protection.

Nor can they protect their countries.

This is rather one sided. Baltic is a blockage point for Russia. They need to travel it's length, and the EEA nations need to travel it's width at most. The Med is the same except that it is even easier for the EEA countries.

*fibre. You're not American.

Please tell ur editor to stop the transition sound, the extremely high pitched beep. It's literally painful for the ears

I don't wanna trigger anyone. However, my gut feeling tells me Poland is responsible for the attack.

If Russia decide to destroy underwater cables/gas pipes or whatever here in Norway we are boned. Our armed forces and specially our navy is pathetic😂

PIEDODU! PIEDOŠANU PIEŅEMU! ATVAINOŠANOS PIEŅEMU! ATVAINOJOS! INGUS TĪSENKOPFS NEMELO! INGUS TĪSENKOPFS IR PATIESS! INGUS TĪSENKOPFA PASE IR PIE INGUS TĪSENKOPFA!

Russia unconventional warfare.

Königsberg

Good video. But it wasn’t Russia who blew up nordstream 😉

The problem is also Russian "fishing boats" and "research ships" are causing this sabbotage aswell as espionage

Who gained most from the Nordstream incident? Norway.

7o

Why do you only assume, the sabotage is an act of russia? Sure, they have a cause and certainly a benifit, but the americans do as well. Maybe even more. I wouldn't rule that out and if you want to stay fact based and neutral, you shouldn't either.

Well, what is good for the goose is good for the ganter. If something explodes, some other things in Russia could explode as well. Those things happen, after all...

The US blew up NordStream.

Z is zet! Use SI units! Nobody understand some obsolete crap from long dead „empire“.

Lol tray and see. Ukraine did not happen and will not happen

I miss the old days when empires just declared war on each other. nukes are a mistake, everyone just start war actions like a backstabbing.

Honestly the cuts to your face are a bit unnecessary man

whoever did english CC; NATO = NATO, not neito or anything else.....

The solution to human trafficking is making laws less racist and allowing people to flee and migrate more freely. Human traffickers only have a business when the borders are too strict and the politicians ignore UN international laws of asylum and so on

Nice propaganda)

the UK and french cables were damaged by fishing boats... no one has suggested otherwise you're a liar and you know it

It's all in the bag 😅
