They cut Nordstream and didn’t expect a response?

Honestly, if a Bad Actor were to cut internet cables and cause global economic chaos, I would suspect Biden before I suspected either Russia or China. Of course, Biden would say it was Russia or China. But that wouldn’t mean it was Russia or China.

Remember the Chinese balloon?

US Experts Flag The Threat Of EMP Attack By China But Biden Administration Reluctant To Act.. An EMP attack involves detonating a thermonuclear weapon at an altitude of around 40 kilometers or more above the Earth’s atmosphere, unleashing a strong electromagnetic wave that can wipe out a country’s electrical grid..

Oh brother. When you look at the guys who did Cold War planning and compare them with today’s idiots.

Excuse me, but only the United States is allowed to mess with foreign pipelines and cables. So back off Russia and China, and know your place.

(Biden’s State Department paid me to say that.)

Chinese activities in the South China Sea and Iranian actions in the Arabian Gulf already show characteristics of a hybrid approach, using civilian vessels rather than easily identifiable ‘gray hull’ naval platforms to obfuscate the involvement of state actors. Underwater cables are an obvious target for such hostile action: they are a vital infrastructure asset with ambiguous protection in international law that can be damaged with relatively unsophisticated, non-military hardware.”

Not easy to protect thousands of miles of cable... so what's a decent back up system? Should corporations be made aware of the threat so they can add redundancy to their systems and supply chains? What are some of your ideas on this George 76?

The United States is the world’s dominant political, economic, and military power.

You forgot to add "with the highest national debt in world history."

They put a lot of fiber undersea way before the internet explosion. They knew what the future would bring.

Makes me wonder about all the warehouses they’re building all over the place around here.

What do they know that we don’t yet know.

The assumption is 90% of us would be dead in the 12 months following an EMP explosion 125 miles above Nebraska...

We should cut money going to ‘intelligence’ and use it to fix some of the glaring security problems we have. Cables, EMP attacks, lack of fallout shelters, and on and on and on...

I for one would enjoy seeing the American corporations have relied heavily on outsourcing work overseas suddenly finding out that Indian technicians in Bangalore cannot maintain their networks and computer systems once the undersea cables are cut. Make no mistake, that day will come even if it doesn’t happen in this war.

Honestly, how stupid is it to not have backup infrastructure in case of computer network failure? Very.

If were going to spend a trillion dollars on “infrastructure” that would have been a good investment (protecting electrical grid, setting up redundant backup systems, etc.) instead of all of the pork.

Yeah. It’s kinda like the guy at the nightclub who’s throwing around the $100 bills that he got from the loan shark down the street. That guy might look impressive. But he’s cruisin’ for a bruisin’.

The United States and Norway have already established that undersea infrastructure is fair game.

Weird how Russia and China don't have a lot of exposure to that particular risk - ever since "Nordstrom 2"...

Valid points.. we will need more than fallout shelters..

Gates, Soros, New World order, and .. want working Americans to freeze in the dark.

Jane Goodall at the WEF forum - We can solve climate change by depopulating the earth by a 7.5 billion people.
