This highlights the arrogance of Obama and the Democrats. They *really* think they could do this. It’s so ignorant it’s funny. Can you imagine the backlash also? ...talk about “unintended consequences”. I say go ahead - try. It’d be a case of “strike me down and I’ll become more powerful than you could possibly imagine”!!! LOL

Yup. Take down a couple dozen primary nodes, and the rest of the web will turn into a traffic jam.

Methinks the designers thereof did not comprehend the total load the ‘net would have to handle; they assumed re-routed traffic would have sufficient network resources to get where it needed to go.

Imagine a major city’s freeways at rush hour - with a few well-placed total roadblocks. Oh, you’ll get home ... maybe tomorrow.
