    On Sunday, Finland detected a leak in the Balticconnector pipeline that connects Finland's gas network to Estonia's. With officials suggesting that the leak was caused by sabotage, this raises concerns, similar to those of Nordstream 2 a year prior. In this video, we explore what happened, who the culprits are, and the risk for a potential wider interconnector war.

      The amount of gas Finland uses is so small that you can almost truck it, but yes up in the north it wouldn't hurt to have the distribution closer. Then to the real question, is natural gas really better than the old options. We can pretty exactly follow the emissions from the old options while NG is only in theory better, no company has yet come out with real figures about the leaks so worst case its equal to burning coal and in best case its not even renewable/carbon neutral.
      My point is that Industry and consumers can be supplied by ship or trucks and instead spend the money on something that is proven to be a better option.

    According to current knowledge, the pipeline wasn't blown up, but it was broken with "mechanical force". This has interpreted most likely to mean, that a ship has dragged an anchor over it. At about the same time, a communication cable between Estonia and Finland was also broken. We don't know yet, how, because the exact place hasn't been located, yet, but it seems it is on Estonian waters.

    A short notice in the beginning - neither Finland nor Estonia are dependent on this pipeline. Neither the infrastructure telecommunications cables that were damaged at the same time. /You had a small incorrect figure in this article - Finland gets 100% of our gas from our band new LNG terminal and while our 'energy consumption' of gas is close to 5%, our house hold gas comsumption is is basically 0%.
    What Russia did was a 'test' against NATO - an act of war. More evidence of sabotage was released yesterday.
    Sorry toe make this so long - here in Finland people have absolutely no anxiety whatsoever. On the contrary - this or a similar attack on Finnish waters was predicted. Now it's up to NATO what to do.
    Again in the end part of your article: Finland is a superpower of 'preparedness'. We have 60 core internet cables in various places - Russia cut one. We have a brand new LNG terminal with a treaty for Finland to import gas from the US 'till 2060. This was not something that would harm either country as such - but an act of war.
    Final correction to your article - there was a brief fluctuation in the gas market which settled under the price before the attack in the Nordic network.
    Finland is a 'super power' what comes to preparedness. The thing is - 'some-one' tore up the gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia AND at the same time cut the Internet connectivity cable between our countries. Exactly at the same time as Hamas made their attacks.
    Our Government (Finnish) did not want to point fingers before the crime investigation is finished - but like our former prime minister said 'We can rule out Sweden doing this' - that is Nordic speak 'Russia did this'. The sheer audacity to do this to TWO NATO and EU countries!
    The problem with Russia are the following in this particular case (the problems overall would take an essay):
    a) Russia's biggest export is FEAR to western democracies. It's not oil or gas, Russia's biggest export even world over has always been fear. Finland is not afraid.
    b) As a member of NATO Finland WILL see this to the end.
    c) If Russia's purpose was to just cause 'a little harm' to check how Finland/NATO would react, WRONG move. These were terrorist attacks/war on Finnish waters (gas pipeline) and on Estonia waters (the Finnish information cable). Finland is not impotent like Germany to find out - and soon - who has done this - after which Finland WILL pull out the 'NATO card'!
    e) We will not want nuclear annihilation but short of that - Russia made a wrong move. Us Finns are not afraid and we will see this to the end.
    Edited to add: Finland has too much history and extremely awful history with Russia. I feel our country is getting close to an end of some sorts. I do not want war, let alone nuclear annihilation. But what would e.g. Great Britain do if us Nordics with the help of Norway would cut your gaspipelines, cut of your information cables, try to put fear to your citizens, even saying they will unleash any and all asylum seekers as a threat. I'm sorry, but I think Finland has had enough of this after 120+ years. (some might say 500 years).
    How can NATO and EU just tolerate an aggressive dictatorship to just down-right attack an European country like Ukraine - or in this case attack Finnish and Estonia infrastructure. We in Finland are ready no matter what Germany says - we in NATO WILL have tolerated too much just to look at what a pitiful weak nation otherwise known as Russian does to our democratic countries.
    At the end: I know some Finnish newspapers(even major ones) are not translated to English but one thing is 100% - Finland track via satellites every single ship in the Gulf of Finland. While exact names of the (Russian) vessels have not been declared, you can be 100% sure it was not Ukrainians or the US. There is satellite imagery, underwater imaging, underwater AI detection, every technology the humankind has. Before idiotic rumours or theories begin - Finland has the best technology. The results will more like be released this Friday (12/10/23) for the world.

The West should invest more in research and development of reliable anti-nuclear weapons systems in order to finally remove Russia's beloved nuclear threat card.

      That would cut off St. Petersburg Sea Port for the Russians. That definitely won't fly with them. It would also disrupt several of the other smaller sea ports in both those countries. Thus causing home grown resistance to the idea. A Tunnel like that between UK and France would be a better option than a land bridge.

    Wait, why is no one talking about the the fact that if this was a deliberate damage to the pipe line and a bombing in Finish territory(?) by Russia, who are now a member of NATO, wouldn't that trigger the 'an attack on one member is an attack on all members' clause? Never mind if it could be provably connected directly to the Russian state, but Putin would have to be truly insane now to give this order for something so seemingly minor, it makes me think it more likely the act of Russian sympathisers.
