You can’t cut undersea fiber optic cables with ‘scuba divers and wire cutters’ according to this naval expert,,but they could easily acquire the necessary eqpt. I was in Algeria in 2015 when the internet was cut under the Med and inoperable for days, and it’s never been made public how or by whom.

It does seem like a thing that could be done in the relatively shallow Red Sea. I'm sure that Iran, China or Russia could do it, but would not want to leave "fingerprints".

It’s ‘do-able’ all right, just not with wire cutters and you don’t get long on the sea bed with aqualungs at 100 meter depth. Anyway, another thing to keep our navies occupied and charge us billions for.

I don’t know what’s in it for the west supporting Israel in there murder spree since there’s nowhere near enough gas to supply Europe and the US stopped the pipeline north about 5 years anyway. As for there canal idea, they’ve been on about that since the early sixties anyway.

I just conclude Biden is a psychopath and the US govt is 100% Zionist run, the same as Trumps was and will be.

I presume this all "makes sense" on some secret level of power intrigues which we can't be told.

Easy, just give my kids some axes and shovels, take em to the beach near one of those cables. Then tell them not to go in the water with anything sharp, and play nice. Tell them you'll be back in two hours. They will obliterate that cable and then some 😐

It's too deep for your kids, though.

Dragging a "special" anchor on a really long chain might work.

cables that are hundreds, if not thousands, of meters underwater,” Pinto tells Army Technology. “They could maybe target one or two of the shallowest cables.”

.....and then go on to say:

The Red Sea has an average depth of 490m, with some cables lying at just 100m.

...what happened to thousands?

or send someone in scuba gear with wire cutters.”

Send someone in scuba gear? You've got nine minutes +/- at 140 feet down and then you have to start back up with decompression stops along the way. 100 metres = 300+ feet, you're not doing that in scuba gear with wire gutters. Who writes this crap? No small wonder Ukraine is losing badly with technical advise like this going around.

"There is previous form for the scuba method in the region."

Really the people arrested say they didn't do it and the exact location isn't mentioned in any of the news releases I've found. If it was scuba it would be in very shallow water, less than thirty metres I would think. So probably close to shore. One report: https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/03/27/egypt-says-it-arrested-criminals-trying-to-sabotage-its-internet/

The circle for the area this arrest took place is very large and not very convincing that they caught anybody doing anything.

John, the wind blown trash looks light! I've spent the last two days moving wind blown trash here in N.S. with my tractor. Two feet of wind blown snow and we got it easy, some places have over three feet! As per usual I'm envious of your location, at least up til you start hitting those 100 degree runs in the summer.

Yes, a lightweight plastic plate and an empty Doritos bag. I pick up wine and beer bottles, too.

It seems to me that one of those deep-water submersible drones on a control cable would do the trick of placing a bomb on an undersea internet trunk line, but what do I know?

It sure would but that isn't "some guys in scuba gear" which is what is said in the article. It could be the start of diversion about attacks on the interweb. I don't believe that a wide spread outage is desirable due to the inter connectedness of the financial and electric grid. Some intercontinental breakups might work for more mind games and false flag shit to cause a rise in fear throughout the general population. Large continent wide outages would be hard to manage. The important grids in the minds of the controllers could be kept running through satellite connections, the amount of traffic there can be more easily managed. However on the ground local would grind to a halt, one can imagine some far out scenarios if that comes to pass. Suppling cities with the necessary supplies both in and out would likely be next to impossible, think Gaza right now. The financial world requires constant reliable electricity on the ground and not stop flows of information. To slow that down to the speed of fax machines over land lines would sink that ponzi scheme fairly quickly. The sort of fear level that TPTB need probably could not be created by digital interruption as the vast majority don't see the danger to the financial scheme of grift that milliseconds supply in the event of a catastrophic stoppage. So some small planned outages and near miss false flags might be enough to create more draconian rules. I say rules because they aren't laws, law applies to all where rules apply to only the little people. As displayed by the plandemic.

The destruction of certain of the internet trunk lines through the Red Sea could bring on aspects of global financial collapse, once it became inevitable in the near-term, and blame could be placed outside the system, so the system might still retain some "trust".

Trust is becoming a rare commodity these days for reasons that are beyond pale. What is required is a parallel system to turn to. Very difficult to get something like that up and running with the iron fist control we are now suffering under.

Once again, thank you Doc.

Time to watch John Carpenter's "They Live" (1988) . . . again.
