  1. I'm an engineer but watch a lot of economics on YT because I want to know how to deal with them. People like Ian Bremmer are pretty good at explaining economics. WHAT THEY ARE HOPELESS AT IS EXPLAINING TECHNOLOGY. At 1:51 he asks "would the Ukrainians be able to pull it off?" From an engineering and logistics point, NO and that has been discussed by many including military people. 1) Ukraine has no direct access to the Baltic Sea. 2) Ukraine has no submarines of its own. 3) This is NOT a Bridge or a drone dropping an incendiary onto a tank. This is an undersea pipeline AND SO YOU ALL KNOW. These are not simply pipes to help them sink and stay in place at the bottom of the sea they are encased in concrete. So to blow up a section of these sorts of pipelines is several orders of magnitude above blowing up a bridge. This is at the pinnacle of underwater demolition. The number of nations and people capable of that skill set at those depths is very limited.
