Putin's Next Gambit Is Underway

The Warmonger bunch in D.C. and London may cost all of us a lot.

...Last week the Shetland Islands lost broadband and phone connectivity with the outside world when undersea communications cables to the island were cut. The cables were broken in two separate places on two separate occasions days apart.

Earlier this week large undersea internet cables in the south of France were cut. At least three fiber optic cables were cut in southern France on Wednesday evening. Search operations to identify damaged sections of the submarine cable are still ongoing....

 ...And, now, the Royal Navy is tracking a Russian spy ship off the coast of the United Kingdom. The Russian vessel the Akademik Boris Petrov left its Kaliningrad on Monday, October 17, and set a course through the English Channel for supposed research activity in the South Atlantic. On Friday it changed course unexpectedly. This course will take it over multiple critical transatlantic cables off the coast of Ireland.

The cables over which the Akademik Boris Petrov will pass form the backbone of the World Wide Web. Ninety-five percent of the world’s communications travel on such undersea cables....

Eh, so what?  Some cable in the North Atlantic ain't my email cable.

 ...In the financial sector alone, undersea cables carry some $10 trillion of financial transfers daily.  European companies and banks are almost completely dependent on these cables because virtually all of their data is actually stored on servers in the United States....

Unlike the people in the White House, Putin is a serious governor of a serious nation. 

Still think Biden got 80 MILLION votes?
