When will America kick Russian trolls and bots off of our internet? That’s literally Russia’s main play right now. They will destroy us from the outside with zero weapons. It’s a war of information in the Information Age.

I mean two in a short period right around the time that Russia is having a NATO tantrum.

Russia has been damaging submarine cables since the late 1950s during the cold war.

The US blew up that pipeline

Girafferage@reddit

Nobody mentioned a pipeline lol.

[-]

No_Extent207@reddit

I just think it’s hypocritical to paint Russia as the only state to conduct attacks of infrastructure.

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

Even if that's the case, your comment is wildly random and out of place.

[-]

No_Extent207@reddit

It’s the same conflict

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

You are a strange person.

[-]

No_Extent207@reddit

Oh yeah what are you?

[-]

Girafferage@reddit

Not a propaganda account for one 😂

Negative karma, only comments are being positive to Russia and negative to the US...

Can you say "fuck Putin" comrade?

[-]

No_Extent207@reddit

Yeah fuck Putin and fuck Zelenskyy. America first

AzureWave313@reddit

Good bot 🤣

WhyNotCollegeBoard@reddit

Are you sure about that? Because I am 94.92376% sure that No_Extent207 is not a bot.

True. That the job of the GRU.

Is this by chance the Chinese freighter that three Danish coast guard ships are apprehending right this moment?

[-]

Actual-Money7868@reddit

Should arrest the crew and blow up the freighters.

I think this is the opposite of intel. It's just saying things to say things.

"Fishing vessels accidentally damage cables with anchors," he said. "The timing is odd of course but we haven’t been able to examine it so we don’t know what caused it."

We have no evidence but it's sabotage.

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit (OP)

There is a difference between what they know and what they say. What that is we rarely know.

[-]

frodofullbags@reddit

They also say that internet traffic was unaffected and that it will take a few days to fix. So what did the saboteurs gain?

[-]

satsugene@reddit

Internet is designed to be redundant (and should be outside of isolated places), but a loss in redundant channels introduces the risk of failures or can raise costs (re-routing over higher cost nodes).

Lose enough links and performance will degrade (and/or cost will rise.)

It is better to have far more links available than are actually in service (or not utilizing them at full capacity) to keep pace with growth and avoid interruptions.

J0E_Blow@reddit

Tapping data?

[-]

therapistofcats@reddit

Another useless statement.

[-]

Smegmaliciousss@reddit

Or so you say

[-]

thefedfox64@reddit

But we have no evidence it's standard business practice. To sail back and forth across an area and have their anchor dropped to catch the cable. Sometimes the little 3 year old who says "you didn't see me break the vase" isn't being clever, it's being a little shit. Will they admit? Nah, they hope they get banned at best and not allowed to use that shit. Int. Court will do fuck all as well

[-]

Aromatic-Deer3886@reddit

Ff sakes, when do we admit and act like we are at war?

[-]

AdditionalAd9794@reddit

Russian Intel was released suggesting forces in the west would do this?

It's no coincidence, either Russian Intel was legit, or they were pre emptively passing blame for their own deeds

[-]

frodofullbags@reddit

What did the deed accomplish 🤔? Internet was unaffected and it will take 10 days to fix.

[-]

AdditionalAd9794@reddit

Idk, it was news worthy at the least. Oddly it seems a Chinese vessel was responsible

[-]

frodofullbags@reddit

This may have just been an accident or a harmless warning. I hope things don't escalate. Undersea cables are very exposed 😳 I may want to invest in starlink.

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit (OP)

That's generally the idea behind propaganda. Putin is ex-KGB after all.

[-]

AdditionalAd9794@reddit

I just find it kind of concerning we were essentially given a heads up and either couldn't or chose to do nothing about i5

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit (OP)

That just means the general public- which is us - were not told what was done behind the scenes.

[-]

Sudden_Hovercraft_56@reddit

Maybe German intelligence should spend some time on Reddit...

[-]

caveatlector73@reddit (OP)

Probably shouldn't unless they are interested in rumor. Reddit is just a bunch of people with varying degrees of training posting articles.

Supposedly it was a Chinese freighter cutting the cables. Still not confirmed but it’s circulating x.
