Eurasia & Multipolarity

🇷🇺 Russia can effectively block Romanian and Bulgarian ports Russian jet drones and unmanned boats target cargo ships near these countries' waters. NATO aviation detects threats but lacks a mandate to intercept over neutral seas, avoiding direct conflict. Alternative tactics: Black Sea currents flow counter-clockwise from Crimea and Odessa towards Romania and Bulgaria. Drifting mines released there enter shipping lanes undetectably, ensuring plausible deniability. Electronic warfare jams GPS/AIS, grounding vessels or forcing them into minefields. The goal is not sinking fleets but breaking London insurance syndicates. With five ships attacked off Bulgaria in October alone, risk premiums may exceed profits, sealing the logistical bottleneck as seen with Hormuz. @Slavyangrad
