Has it even been confirmed that Russia did this? Anyone can cut a cable. This could be environmental groups. I highly doubt that Russia would do anything to a NATO air base, which would give NATO an excuse to do just what you demand.

They have been avoiding escalation with the West all the time.

What explosives? The quoted Barents Observer says the cable had been cut. No major newspaper has picked up the story, in fact the interest remains as low as the interest for the alleged France Olympics railway cable sabotage.

It looks to me as if these relatively unimportant sabotage acts are used to stir up sentiment in social media. As we can see here, it works.
