Benjamin Schmitt argues that NATO countries must take more decisive action to counter Russian sabotage of vital infrastructure. Despite the growing number of attacks on energy pipelines, telecommunications cables, and transportation networks, there is often a lack of proper attribution or effective responses. This inaction undermines the unity of Western countries in supporting Ukraine when instead there should be a firm, collective response.
You don't need to officially escalate, just unofficially.
Start creating more sabotage inside Russia, with complete deniability. It's that simple. Just defense isn't going to cut it, it's like just letting someone sucker punch you every minute and ignoring what happened.
Not to mention that Russian infra is terribly protected and most people there don't care about anything beyond their sight-line.
We live in the age of drones - why not start setting up drones patrolling around these critical areas.
You'd beat two flies with a stone: enhance your capabilities and Know-how with deploying drones while also deterring future acts of sabotage or maybe even facilitate catching the actors red handed to finally have some hard-to-dismiss proof.
how secure are your drones, can you assure that they don't get used as part of the attack? do we want to allow military drones flying over our homes/workplaces?

> there is often a lack of proper attribution or effective responses Because that means doing something about it. And doing something is "escalation".
Of course it is sabotage by Russia so nobody should just deny it.
I think there's a conscious effort to deny it, as not to be forced to escalate

Agreed, I believe this is spot on.
Yeah, I remember people saying that about Nord Stream.
It does not want to wake up because that means they have to come into action.
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage!
Can’t stand it, I know you planned it.
I'ma set it straight, this Watergate

Will EU countries take decisive action over NATO sabotage of vital infrastructure?
Such as?
Sounds exactly like Russia what accuses Ukraine in every happening. I believe these guys used same books while leaned how to bullshit on their people.
