This title almost sounds like a setup for a joke or something.
Where’s the Mexican, the American and the French guy? “Diosico Diosico que caiga diosico! Y que cae de osico.” That’s the Mexican punchline. Give me a like if you know the joke!
I translated that, but it’s doesn’t get the joke across:
God-God God let God fall! And that falls from the bear.
The French are best poop, but the American one is lost on me
Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find. It’s perfectly plausible that the crew consists of a bunch of idiots.
No matter what the truth actually is, it’s impossible to prove.
They wouldn’t let them aboard if any evidence was present

It isn’t even a proper investigation as I read it. There were Chinese officials supervising the activities. Though I wonder what they could find, after the crew had ample time to get prepared, and to get rid of whatever evidence they might have had.
But they did drag the anchor for 100 miles (link WSJ). Dragging an anchor for 100 miles would’ve been very noticeable for any crewmember, experts say.
Sure, but can you prove that they were not just incompetent?
You can blame the captain personally for negligence, sure, but unless he has instructions from an intelligence agency open on his desk, you can’t prove anything political.
Honestly, they don’t really need to prove malicious intent. The stakeholders of the cable should hold the ship owner liable for the cost of repairs, holding the ship captive as collateral until such a time comes that the amount is paid. If the cost can’t be paid, then confiscate the ship and sell it to recoup the cost and as a deterrent measure.
Whether or not they did it intentionally and why is a matter that should be left to intelligence agencies who will interrogate the crew and collect information about the ship to understand what’s going on and act accordingly.
It could also be that this is not sanctioned by China and that the crew members are working for Russia. It’s not obvious what China gains from this kind of behavior. China is very dependent on European good will and trade. Especially as the trade war with the US intensifies.
They also shut down their transponders right before the… accident, if I recall correctly. In my country we say “if it’s white and in a bottle…”
I need you to finish that saying for me lol
I’ve come up with “it’s milk” and “it’s white-out”, then decided I don’t have the context to know what the correct ending would be. Google wants to talk about white wine, which is more yellow or green imo.
Lol… Interesting context. Yeah it’s supposed to be milk 😂
