One commenter shared something very interesting, in regard to the pipeline sabotage: “Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny proposed blowing up not only the Nord Stream gas pipeline, but also the Turkish Stream in the Black Sea, but the operation failed, writes the German publication Der Spiegel. The publication describes the details of the explosion of a pipeline in the Baltic Sea. The attack was carried out by about 12 Ukrainians (including one woman) - they were military and civilians, trained by a group that had repeatedly planned and carried out secret operations for the Ukrainian special services. The operation was called "Diameter" and cost up to 300 thousand euros. A special explosive was used, disguised as an air cylinder. The bomb was placed near the seams of the pipes, where they have weaker protection. It was delivered on a rented yacht, which can accommodate exactly 12 people in five cabins. In April 2022, the operation was submitted to Zaluzhny for approval. He was pleased that Zelensky was not aware of it - "these people would not trust the president and his entourage." Zaluzhny liked the operation so much that he proposed expanding it to the Turkish Stream, but it failed. In June, intelligence learned about the Nord Stream operation and a CIA representative came to Zelensky - that's how the president learned about the preparations. An order was given to cancel. The leaders of the operation decided to wait, and in August, divers with a bomb went to Poland. There they waited for fake documents from Bulgaria and Romania. As a result, the saboteurs planted six bombs, but one did not explode, which is why the B pipe of Nord Stream 2 remained intact.”

Sounds like an example of the resiliency of the system to me. The graphics in this newscast looks like it is showing a modern telecommunications network of cables. They can be switched automatically so no one even notices the change. Well, except that the cost of transmission will go up. Communications companies use route cost analysis and often re-route routes multiple times during a single day to use the cheapest routes. These two cables will not be available to spread the load until they are repaired. So, it's not that it is not an issue. It's just that it is not something that will keep me awake at night worrying about.

[@annoloki]

More than that, they make the cables so that they can repair individual sections rather than need to do the whole lot, as ship anchors often will cause damage... even well armoured, and buried cables, don't stay protected forever... so needing to do repairs of the cable from time to time is also expected... but yeah, let's have a war with China anyway
