Why would it be more probable ? How would they be able to organise a coordinated attack spread out so much, and how would they have procured the necessary explosives?

And most of all, why would they attack high speed rail infrastructure which is one of the greenest ways of transportation?

No, it wouldn't make any sense for an "eco-terrorist" group to do it in this way. Same as it doesn't make sense for an Islamic terrorist group.

This has Russia written all over it, from the methods to the Russians already arrested to the fool bragging about it yesterday in Bulgaria.

> Why would it be more probable?

Because they announced it:

https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/la-flamme-olympique-d...

https://www.leparisien.fr/societe/les-soulevements-de-la-ter...

Not at all what they announced according to the linked article. It's quite literally the opposite really, do you read French or did you Google translate? 'action de masse' roughly mean assembling somewhere to disrupt anything with a mass of people, to many to get arrested. If they wanted to stop a train, they would have invaded a train station (or multiple ones).

The first article is about disturbing the olympic torch relay, and the second one is about various protests, e.g. against a freeway and a logistics center. Nothing about trains.

No the announcements referenced in the article are not about sabotages.

ecologists wouldn't attack the only way of having low carbon transport over far distance.

ecologists from our German neighbor closed the lowest-carbon energy available (nuclear) to open coal facilities. I wouldn't bet on the brains of the average european ecologist.

on a more serious note, even if train is low-carbon, this could be seen as an anti-olympics protest which ecologists claim is an ecological disaster.

There are long-established objections to nuclear from supposed green groups, making that understandable.

There are no similarly held opposition to trains/mass transit. Indeed, as the parent indicates, trains appear to have unanimous support from green factions.

Indeed, and our ecologists promote train a lot. But given the timing, I can imagine the rationale of this being an attack on the olympics and not on train, simply because train is attackable and plane not.

Maybe, though it seems as easy to attack the road network to me; which would move towards green ideals more.

I don't think climate protestors have some deep seated opposition to art but that didn't stop them from throwing paint at major artworks.

Welcome in France

This is silly. Why would climate activists sabotage electric railways mostly powered by carbon neutral nuclear power.

the nuclear part is not so consensual within eco activists...

You are describing those as 2 distinct groups, but in reality those 2 are, even if indirectly, very well connected. Le pen is sponsored (almost) directly by russia, just listen to what she keeps saying, she ain't stupid. So are other extreme right or left wing parties (or just very corrupt popular individuals) across whole Europe. There is no greater ideology, just raw destabilization so they take whoever fits the bill, I wouldn't be even surprised with isis in some way.

Russia has 1 very clear long term goal, from way before they invaded Ukraine in 2014 - making Europe as weak as possible, while extracting as much money as possible. With this optic, their approach is methodical and steady, and its up to us to decide how to react. Germany's Scholz (and Merkel before, god she really did tons of damage across whole EU security wise) took the bait quite some time ago.

I guess you answered to the wrong post
