This centuries most annoying leader now has a new plan and that is the cutting the internet cables which is under the ocean, according to the US Government sources, Russian naval vessels may be go after the internet infrastructure during a possible war scenario.
Internet Cable Lines Under Oceans
Russian ships are deliberately patrolling around to these cables to use their attached submersibles, which US sources says could descend and sever the lines — or even perhaps tap them and follow the traffic. If something happens to this cables it can take weeks or months to repair them because some places these cables stay really deep, and this make it hard to repair them. Analysts said this cables exact coordinates are secret, most of them for military and other private uses and the ships could be trying to find them.
Another report says Russia also running test about a Russian- bloc internet, special web for its own communication and block the World Wide Web from their internet. This is sound like a new Iron Curtain of Vladimir Putin, to cut his people from outside world – some think like North Korea but more technological i guess – with this new tech style Iron Curtain. Russia has had many trouble about stabilizing economy in these years, and cutting off themselves from the outside the world is not a good idea, World is getting more global on every each year, countries depend on each other more than before, we are all connected, Putin is like a little kid that just playing his stupid games and never think about his own people or the other people’s life. He personally caused too many pain around the World, like Georgia, Ukraine and now Syria.
Even Russia cut the cables of the internet, Putin will not get what he desires, internet is not only desire cable connection, there are also satellites that can make the internet work, during a war time military forces will find a way to communicate, even without cables or satellites, Putin is just another Hitler that can cause many pain for the humanity.
