Russia has only a few ships capable of cutting fibre optic cables, and such an action would be an act of war against far superior naval powers, who have total surveillance coverage of all areas concerned, and the ability to act with force rapidly in all of those areas. Fibre optic networks have extensive redundancies, and any attempt to sever multiple cables would likely be stopped before significant disruption could occur. Also, most data loads are handled locally by major data centres across the West, making the scenario of Russia’s interference far less impactful than suggested. Respectfully, I recommend consulting someone with expertise in network infrastructure before making claims like this.

Shirvan, I'm not sure I can agree with your analysis in this case. The Internet Protocol (IP) is designed to automatically route around trouble spots such as downed nodes or broken cables. In fact, when the original Internet Protocol Suite was created for the DoD, one of its primary design goals was to harden it against node disruption. So while the concerns you mention are certainly important, and monitoring and redundancy are pillars of proactive defense, IMHO a saboteur would have to damage a bunch of cables to create a real crisis on its own. To be an effective attack, it would need to be part of a larger information denial strategy.

Russia may have the land advantage, but I see no reason why overland cables connecting Russia to Europe couldn't simply be cut by the Europeans in case of conflict. They would be ensuring the same problem for themselves. And that assumes a cyber attack doesn't hit them right before the cables are cut. The game can be played both ways is my point. There are probably way more undersea cables with redundancy available that are much more difficult to cut with a trawler or sub. Heck, anyone at your local internet service provider can head down to the hardwood store and get a saw. I'm not saying Russia wouldn't do it in the event of conflict, but there is no way they don't feel the same exact impact in return.

[@LeonidEliseev]

If other countries disconnect Russia from the international Internet, then the Russian leadership will say thank you and will be very happy. The Internet and freedom of information are now the main problem for the Russian leadership.

Fyodor Dostoevsky: (referring to Russians) "Peoples who roam across Europe in search to destroy and obliterate, only for the sake of mockery and gratification." He was also deported to Siberia (1849-1854).

Amount of Kremlinbots attacking this comment section just reiterates the severity of issue.

[@grisflyt]

You work for the Pentagon? Nobody believe your Russiagate and Kremlinbot lies. CNN just recently acknowledged that the "China debt trap" was a Western lie to scare countries from doing business with China. Nobody with a brain believe your lies any more.

[@Moneo_Artaid]

Yeah they will take down EUs internet while they still haven't taken Ukraines internet out after three years

This is why Elon Musk's Starlink space based internet is key to the future.

[@knofi7052]

It's no problem cutting all Russian network connections when they are leaving Russia as well.

[@VolS-oj5md]

Even if Russia is land locked country nevertheless it's own internet need submarine cables to operate. How data center in Moscow will get data from Mexico if they destroy Atlantic cables?

[@johnladuke6475]

Through the Pacific cables, of course.

[@karolina.szczesna]

Sat connectivity (including Starlink) allows to uplink from areas not connected via fibre, but it dowlinks the signal back to the nearest internet gateway and the connection ultimately still relies on the terrestrial and submarine systems carrying public internet. Until the sat systems can transfer the signal between the satellites from point of origin to destination, which in their constant movement is incredibly challenging, they are just as dependent on existing physical cabling.

[@thanosisback2754]

“Single point of failure”. Pure ignorance of someone who does not understand how the internet works and has been built.

[@PappaTom-ub3ht]

Yeah. probably the least "single point of failure" system there is in the world.

[@rdallas81]

I hope the net gets cut. Let it all be taken off line. Never in history has so little been achieved by so much- as far as things that are good.

[@jackcarterog001]

Maybe stop provoking Russia?

[@invit87]

and its ok when russia provoke half of the world?

[@TheLordFrog]

Maybe Russia should stop invading its neighbors and annexing territories of nation states like it’s medieval era

[@finnthunder6542]

Maybe leave Ukraine alone. Russia is the largest country in the world. I think that they have enough land to develope already

[@MrMikados]

Why would Russia take down Europe's internet? It's what keeps the Europeans docile and compliant.

[@фийкё]

Россия злая и плохая, вот почему. Кошка бросила котят...

[@qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5]

Russia has already destroyed several underwater cables recently.

[@bholdr----0]

Dang that's an embarrassing comment... Ah, the conspiracy nuts: I suppose that the recently cut cables were enabling government control of all information, suverailing and brainwashing the population, hiding UFOs, and are controlled by Majestic, the RVS, Big Black, and the illuminati in order to control the sheeple with 5g and soybeans... Good thing tinfoil is inexpensive. Go back to 4chan, eh? (Or learn something about how the world actually works!)

[@bholdr----0]

​@@qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5 And more since your post! It's getting bad, eh? I attended a lecture about information warfare where one of the speakers' premise was that hacking, botnets, encryption penetration, malware, etc were the tactical instruments of information/cyber war, but cutting cables is an untenable escalation, the 'nuclear option' in such a conflict...countered by only a MAD (mutually assured destruction) strategic deterrent- And I agree. And now, in the Baltic... Well, here we go.

[@axelhopfinger533]

Because Europe's economy and payment systems largely depend on it? Take down the internet in Europe for a week and the economic damage is greater than any sanctions could ever do.

[@aaronjones8905]

This was a problem in the past with pirates. The answer is privateers with plausible deniability. It would be a real shame if those Russian trawlers happened to sink in international waters.

If they cut the internet they also cut their hacking ability.

[@CJusticeHappen21]

Well, shit. Looks like you were right.

[@Preetvnd]

Why are there so many ant-Caspian comment here? and all of them are either downplaying this, denying or making up another conspiracy while brushing aside the actual human activity involved in cutting those wires.

Too much un-bias for them, their diet is not used to it.

[@incognito1539]

The quality of his videos is getting worse and worse. Also, he is showing his Western bias which is not good when trying to make unbiased geopolitical videos.

[@justsefa1843]

It is doomposting. Might as well just make a video about how Russia can end the world with nukes in the worst case scenario. Possible? Yes. So technically a very very big danger. Does it make it plausible for Russia to do something like that out of the blue? No. His video is entirely based on accusations with no actual proof. There is no reason to believe that an already pro-Ukraine Europe would suddenly back off and let Russia do whatever they want to, if Russia starts pissing everyone out. The internet issue could be fixed in mere days. Russias reputation would take decades to recover.

[@raventhetraumjager]

Thanks to SIRVAN Again! Interesting analysis!!

[@cerebralparasite9238]

oh no, is europe a little nervous now that Trump is back? Here's a little advice: start paying for your own defense. Quite relying on the USA to do everything for you.

[@JD..........]

Subsidize Starlink to the tune of $100B. Should help tremendously if the US can get the oversight right. Big if.

[@RB-cs5dw]

So many people are saying they would be happy if the internet went down, I’m sorry but you guys are waste of air, the consequences of internet going down in current times is catastrophic so please stop being stupid

[@incognito1539]

Catastrophic for the West. So why would the rest of us give a single fuck? Actually, the more harm is done to the US - the more independant can the rest of the world be. So I say why not, cut those cables!

[@samdherring]

"Cut those cables!" Spouted from the mouth of an idiot relying on said cables to communicate with us.

[@petermeter9890]

Yeah Russia is responsible for everything bad these days, including the potholes in my hood ;)

[@jacekicksass]

lol yeah everything is boogeyman Russia's fault.

[@Dangur2]

Not the impossible total control of whole ocean floor, but the diplomacy is a solution here.

[@Lesminster]

Russia can stop us from playing CoD and MMOs, not governments to talk to each other. Starlink is already in place :) Russia in that department is pretty far behind and I don't think they would risk us repaying the favor, Satellites very much CAN replace seawater cables. It's always a matter of scale.

[@thoughtfulthreadsAI]

They've been mapping out the links since at least 2005, I raised flags on this during my BMDS days. They were focused on US Defense cables back then, but these are bundled with normal civilian traffic.
