According to new reports, the United States is now leveling accusations against Russia of getting ready to try and take down the internet by cutting undersea cables that carry traffic on the digital superhighway all over the world. Meanwhile, Russia is accusing countries in the west of getting ready to do the same thing. Guess you could say we’re sort of in a Mexican stand-off.
The consequences of this would be absolutely disastrous. People wouldn’t be able to access banking information, contacting loved ones, news flow would be interrupted. Chaos would ensue. That’s how important the internet has become to daily life. And these cables are basically impossible to protect because they stretch between continents. Too much for anyone to guard.
Here’s more on this from Prophecy News Watch:
That means that they are an exceedingly vulnerable target, and it is probably just a matter of time before someone decides to attack them. Of course if the undersea cables that connect one global superpower to the Internet get hit, they will probably start cutting key undersea cables that connect their enemies to the Internet. Needless to say, such a scenario would have the potential to turn apocalyptic very rapidly. According to CNN, U.S. officials are warning that there has been “increased Russian military activity around key undersea cables”…
The US has detected increased Russian military activity around key undersea cables, and believes Russia may now be more likely to carry out potential sabotage operations aimed at disabling a critical piece of the world’s communications infrastructure, two US officials told CNN. Russia has put increasing emphasis on building up a dedicated military unit, which deploys a formidable fleet of surface ships, submarines and naval drones, according to one of the officials. The unit, the “General Staff Main Directorate for Deep Sea Research,” is known by its Russian acronym GUGI.“We are concerned about heightened Russian naval activity worldwide and that Russia’s decision calculus for damaging US and allied undersea critical infrastructure may be changing,” a US official told CNN. “Russia is continuing to develop naval capabilities for undersea sabotage mainly thru GUGI, a closely guarded unit that operates surface vessels, submarines and naval drones.”
Russia is pointing fingers at the West and saying we’re preparing to do the same thing. One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allies has said that both the U.K. and U.S. are scheming together to disrupt internet service by cutting the same cables. These comments were made through a Telegram channel known as Crimean Wind by Nikolai Patrushev, saying, “it would be funny, but such statements often sound like a cover for their own intentions.”
This is just further proof that things are eroding between our nation and others across the globe, thanks in large part to the weakness of the current Biden-Harris administration. Hopefully, things will change when Trump takes office in January. If not, we’re definitely looking down the barrel at World War III.
