It took less than a day to determine it was Russia and not only that but this specific ship that cut the cable. Yet years after the largest industrial sabotage and environmental disaster in recent memory (Nord Stream 2) absolutely no investigations into who caused that one and that story has been completely forgotten





Officials are becoming more and more alert to these kinds of situations.

Newnew Polar Bear managed to escape the scene of the crime without any issues, Yi Peng 3 managed to escape the scene of the crime but was later detained in international waters but not boarded without Chinese officials, and now Eagle S was caught red-handed and boarded immediately.


What? No investigation? This is pretty close to the top of the Wikipedia article on the matter:

The Swedish and Danish investigations were closed in February 2024 without identifying those responsible,[16][17] but the German investigation is still ongoing.[18] In August 2024 media reported that in June German authorities issued a European arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national suspected of having used the sailing yacht Andromeda together with two others to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline.[19] As of June 2024 the suspect is still at large, having reportedly left the EU for Ukraine.[20]

This ship slowed down noticeably before destroying the cables so officials were quick to react. Also, not too long time ago another sabotage ship broke stuff as well so this was probably expected to happen again. Really does not have anything to do with Nord Stream 2 since it was different water areas and methods. But that whataboutism surely gives clue where your message comes from.
