    I’ve worked international voice and data networks and I can’t imagine the number of points of presence they would have to hit in your dream scenario. They simply couldn’t do it without going to war, when this effort would give way to plans of survival.

      That’s kind of their point. They do dumb shit like to provoke and prod. They’ve been randomly jamming GOS for years for no reason, and cutting these cables as well. It’s just a flexnto let people know if it comes to that, then they might do something. It’s the same reason they run their subs just loud enough to be detected around the north seas, and then go silent.

        You don’t understand. They’re just talking shit. They are very aware of what they have to do to start a war with the west. Yet they don’t because they know that it’ll last 20 minutes.

          Yes, you are saying the same thing I am. Not sure why you’re even replying. It’s a flex.

            I don’t know if it was you, but I first responded to someone who indicated that losing a network link causes chaos. That is not true. Then they fantasize that a number of links are involved, which is near impossible1
