Here in Russia, I can order any document or certificate without leaving home. At the same time, most documents are electronic and equivalent to paper documents. And I can even buy a house and have it fully registered without getting up from behind my laptop. This is surprising considering that our society has always had an opinion of a more developed Europe, so something must have changed
@@lorenrb80true, but the exaggeration part is something that affects other videos as well. The obvious culprit is that dramatic content gets clicks and thus money, so everything has to be a crisis.
I was living in Canada's Yukon Territory earlier this year when the only fibre optic cable connecting the territory to the rest of the world was cut off by a fire thousands of km away. It was chaos, emergency calls were unable to connect, no internet, and only one or two banks in the capital allowed ATM withdrawals and no where else accepted card. While no doubt there would be far more redundancy built into the European continent, I still couldn't imagine the scale of the chaos.
Russia has only a few ships capable of cutting fibre optic cables, and such an action would be an act of war against far superior naval powers, who have total surveillance coverage of all areas concerned, and the ability to act with force rapidly in all of those areas. Fibre optic networks have extensive redundancies, and any attempt to sever multiple cables would likely be stopped before significant disruption could occur. Also, most data loads are handled locally by major data centres across the West, making the scenario of Russia’s interference far less impactful than suggested. Respectfully, I recommend consulting someone with expertise in network infrastructure before making claims like this.
Such an action would be an act of war against far superior naval powers. Lol these meatriders literally cut themselves from cheap gas by destroying north stream and nothing nuclear happened from russian side. Do you really think so called superior naval powers will do something serious for similar act of stupidity from russia? Only possible scenario is more sanctions from US and it's puppies. That is it.
I do not think they will use ships to cut cables one by one. Russians more than capable to mine a lot of cables and destroy them simultaneously. I'm agree regarding superior naval powers of Western nations, but i have doubts regarding the willingness to respond to the country with nuclear weapon. Most likely they will be deeply concerned and blame some unknown terrorist group.
Multiplayer games are usually hosted on localised edge servers that do not need to navigate submarine cables. At worst your large file game content updates / patches would be slower to download due to more congestion but for online gaming servers, which also send and receive very little data, it wouldn’t affect much, including latency / lag.
Doubt it, it will probably turn every gamer in a hacker becaue Putin stole their time to become master 1 or global elite, so that sheer dedication of will and mind will be focused on annoying/trolling Russians. It will backfire.
Seriously? Not everyone. The west. The rest of us r fine. I think it would be a fitting thing for Russia to do after what the Americans did to their pipelines
I worked in ASW for 10 years, the Russians have been trying to perfect the cutting of internet cables for years. Mostly to disable things like SOSUS but the theory is the same for internet cables.

It's natural to believe that any "first strike" will come with a massive attack on both electric power and internet infrastructure. Cutting cables of such importance is something Russia won't do unless they WANT a WW3/end of the world scenario - a war that can't be won by anyone, but one that the whole humanity loses from - so this is something Russia won't do. It's a non-issue. Just as unlikely that they suddenly will send of their whole arsenal of nuclear weapons.
When that happened in the EU - Asia cable systems, it really introduced a lot of latency in between networks as stuff had to be re-routed but things worked alright One or two cables won't really end the internet at once
Indeed, but that's hardly the goal. Goal usually is to promote chaos and dissatisfaction in the affected countries, to move attention away from international matters.
GPS jamming is completely normal in modern conflicts. Its meant to make guided missiles, drones, etc less effective by forcing them to use more primitive means of navigation like a compass and some cameras. Israel has been doing this during the Hamas/Hezbollah war and it impacts other countries besides Lebanon including Israel themselves, Cyprus, Jordan and some parts of Egypt and Syria. It's also been a theme during more intense periods of the Syrian Civil War.
All I'm saying is that targeting GPS is a completely legitimate thing. While it's annoying that it impacts civilians as well, it is what it is. Airlines and airports are required to have fallback/alternative navigation systems like radio beacons, and the fact that the airlines were grounded in Helsinki points to a lack of training as they're supposed to know how to use these radio beacons. It is understandable though as they've likely forgotten how to make use of it due to over reliance on GPS.
To all those makkng fun think commerce shutting down. Your job, no matter what it is fepends on information flow. Think of food shipments qnd all the other things depending on international transactions. Welcome back to the 19th century.
You won't get your wages paid, and will have no access to your bank account. It will definitely be seen as an act of war and cause enemy land hubs to be destroyed.
It'd be the 20th century again, if it means we'd get to go back to the way things were in the 90's then bring it on!!! Back then the West was THE power house and housing was affordable, so it might be at Putin's disadvantage to cut our cables
Having land cables isn't an advantage, Allies just need to figure out where the infrastructure surfaces and destroy that, there is no advantage. That's why it is called sensitive infrastructure
Russia may have the land advantage, but I see no reason why overland cables connecting Russia to Europe couldn't simply be cut by the Europeans in case of conflict. They would be ensuring the same problem for themselves. And that assumes a cyber attack doesn't hit them right before the cables are cut. The game can be played both ways is my point. There are probably way more undersea cables with redundancy available that are much more difficult to cut with a trawler or sub. Heck, anyone at your local internet service provider can head down to the hardwood store and get a saw. I'm not saying Russia wouldn't do it in the event of conflict, but there is no way they don't feel the same exact impact in return.
A big Russian failure? 980 days war , billions $ lost and tens of thousands of Russians KIA and still counting . That is a lot for a country with the same economy with Italy.
@@Jovan_Jarkaranewhat a dumb take. Do you work for a European government or news agency? The entire western world threw its support - including actively - behind Ukraine, and the Russians have been very tempered in their actions, baffling Western leaders who only understand leveling a country and then trying to rebuild it in their image. It’s okay that you want to win, but the propagandizing a fiction is going to get way more people killed.
A huge mistake... But the red lines was russias threats to hinder western intervention. And so far every single lines which has been crossed did not make russia respond.
THAT is exactly how internet already works, there is not some single central point. Maybe DNS but every service provider and larger company has its own DNS, it just wouldn't be updated anymore.
About 10 years ago when I was doing my degree information and telecommunication technologies, I realised the vulnerability of submarine cables. In the case of Australia, it would be incredibly easy to cut the whole country off from the world. It’s seriously problematic.
@@Dangle147 to push other countries to become more anti-Russian. Zelenskyy publicly affirmed that he did approve of the attack but then called them back before it went through. According to the Ukrainians, the sabotage team went ahead with the attack anyway. Whether you believe that is up to you. But it did achieve what Ukraine was looking for: Europe is now less tied to Russia and thus more likely to help Ukraine.
@@UnluckyHistorian Why would that make anyone anti-Russian? If I bombed the pipes in your home so you had no water, would that make you hate the water company or me? Joe Biden is on camera saying he was going to "end Nordstream" just before it happened. Do you know who's now selling gas to Europe at jacked up prices? USA. Ukraine has no capability of even conducting an operation like that. Only the USA had the means, the motive, and Joe Biden straight up said he was going to do it. Use your fucking head and stop believing whatever nonsense gets put out in State Department press releases. You don't have to like Russia to not be a complete idiot.
@@jacekicksass No. Even Russians depend on the west having the internet. Millions of Russians use TH-cam, Gmail, Steam. Imagine Ruski bots not being able to play Counter-Strike.
Russia can stop us from playing CoD and MMOs, not governments to talk to each other. Starlink is already in place :) Russia in that department is pretty far behind and I don't think they would risk us repaying the favor, Satellites very much CAN replace seawater cables. It's always a matter of scale.
@Deeplycloseted435 the sad part about this comment is that it's equally likely that someone could say this being dead serious or completely sarcastic hahaha
Even if Russia is land locked country nevertheless it's own internet need submarine cables to operate. How data center in Moscow will get data from Mexico if they destroy Atlantic cables?
Fyodor Dostoevsky: (referring to Russians) "Peoples who roam across Europe in search to destroy and obliterate, only for the sake of mockery and gratification." He was also deported to Siberia (1849-1854).
While the internet has quite some redundancy built in, so there are no single points of failure, the risk of infrastructure under Sea is a subject to think about carefully. This also has a clear geopolitical aspect to it. At the same time, any nation could use a way to disrupt communications.
too bad that 1) 90% of its population is Russian, and it barely even had any Ukrainians and 2) it was only internally reassigned as part of Ukraine in '54 when it was in USSR. Russia gave Ukraine independence on condition it remained neutral, no amount of lying or wishful thinking is ever going to change the fact you screwed up and are gonna pay for it.
You work for the Pentagon? Nobody believe your Russiagate and Kremlinbot lies. CNN just recently acknowledged that the "China debt trap" was a Western lie to scare countries from doing business with China. Nobody with a brain believe your lies any more.
LMAO. The US can't cut any country access to internet. You have a very lacking understanding of what a WORLD WIDE WEB is... Internet is millions of computers and servers connected to each other all across the globe. You cannot cut internet unless you cut all physical cables and satellites connecting that country, at the same time. There is no electronic switch at the Pentagon... Russia is connected by their own satellites and thousands of km of fiber optic cables across Asia and Europe. You will need to cut all those in dozens of countries. Like Iran, Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, Belarus, Finland, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Poland...
Transnational services would be hit. But most services have local backups, and the internet was actually designed for this sort of thing. Starlink and other satellite services would also be used by those like the financial industry that would pay top dollar for transnational bandwidth.
I don't understand how this would help Russia. It would not help them in Ukraine and give the west justification to attack any Russian ship whether military or commercial as well as escalating in other ways. Also, there is a lot of redundancy in the internet, that is the whole point after all. It would take some time to cut enough of them to really cause major disruptions. Each one cut also narrows down where Russian ships are operating. Plausible deniability goes both ways too. Russia could deny they cut the cables, US could deny they destroyed Russian submarines cutting said cables. Russia acknowledging an attack on their navy would also be them acknowledging they were the ones cutting the cables.
So many people are saying they would be happy if the internet went down, I’m sorry but you guys are waste of air, the consequences of internet going down in current times is catastrophic so please stop being stupid
Catastrophic for the West. So why would the rest of us give a single fuck? Actually, the more harm is done to the US - the more independant can the rest of the world be. So I say why not, cut those cables!
Great video, but scary. I love how some (Russian?) trolls in the comments are like this is an exaggeration when everything in the video ALREADY HAPPENED.
I hope there isn't a direct cable between the United States and Australia because, if there is, Russia could be truly diabolical and cut every connection we have to the rest of the world except Australia. Imagine an Internet with nothing but Americans and Australians(and Canadians and Mexicans as well).
yeah. we should stop talking about it. we have another problems like a squirrels. the possibility of the outbreak of World War 3 is boring and no longer fashionable...
In a tense scenario with Russia perhaps the start of a shooting war i don't think Nato would simply watch Russia destroy the cable infrastructure. The Russian fleet is well known and any ship or submarine would be hunted.
Fearmonger...same can be said about usa to take out the global internet...and that pipe is already proven it was not Russia...no reason to destroy their own asset. Are you paid for these week lies? 😂😂😂
the existance of setallites greatly reduces the risks of sabotage to sea cables cause this means strategic communications will still go through regardless, besides as in any grey zone operation it can only be done in small scale.. russia/china will never be able to deny a large scale sabotage and there are always other painful means to retaliate for such attacks - no one is obligated to retaliate in exactly the same manner they are attacked..

It is doomposting. Might as well just make a video about how Russia can end the world with nukes in the worst case scenario. Possible? Yes. So technically a very very big danger. Does it make it plausible for Russia to do something like that out of the blue? No. His video is entirely based on accusations with no actual proof. There is no reason to believe that an already pro-Ukraine Europe would suddenly back off and let Russia do whatever they want to, if Russia starts pissing everyone out. The internet issue could be fixed in mere days. Russias reputation would take decades to recover.
When NATO systematically tests the Russians' red lines for decades, those are the good guys. When the Russians finally decide to do the same, those are the bad guys. Don't get that mixed up, dude!
They didn't "finally decide" anything. They were doing it the whole entire time. The Soviet did it before it fell apart. Russia continues to do so. They aren't the victims here. The Z army really is the bad guys, no doubt.
@@PappaTom-ub3ht The West broke promises made to Gorbachev and Yeltsin about NATO expansion. After Putin’s 2007 speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he openly criticized the unipolar world order, NATO immediately started moving on Ukraine and Georgia, making it clear they were in the crosshairs. This wasn't some accidental "test" of red lines - it was a direct provocation.
@@PappaTom-ub3ht And let’s not forget the Monroe Doctrine: the U.S. considers any foreign interference in its hemisphere a threat. Russia sees NATO pushing into its sphere the same way. So no, it's not about "attacking the West"- it’s a history of broken promises and deliberate provocations.

@@Jovan_Jarkaranewhat a dumb take. Do you work for a European government or news agency? The entire western world threw its support - including actively - behind Ukraine, and the Russians have been very tempered in their actions, baffling Western leaders who only understand leveling a country and then trying to rebuild it in their image. It’s okay that you want to win, but the propagandizing a fiction is going to get way more people killed.
A huge mistake...
But the red lines was russias threats to hinder western intervention. And so far every single lines which has been crossed did not make russia respond.
Why would Russia take down Europe's internet? It's what keeps the Europeans docile and compliant.
Time to make more local internet hubs.
THAT is exactly how internet already works, there is not some single central point.
Maybe DNS but every service provider and larger company has its own DNS, it just wouldn't be updated anymore.
@@buddy1155 Yeah I was going to say this is already the norm. It's actually crazy how robust datacentre and networking redundancies are already.
do you know how Internet works? are you restarted?
The whole point of internet is to connect you to other parts of the world - Were you dropped?
Russia has a right to defend themselves!!!!

About 10 years ago when I was doing my degree information and telecommunication technologies, I realised the vulnerability of submarine cables. In the case of Australia, it would be incredibly easy to cut the whole country off from the world. It’s seriously problematic.

True. Microsoft also didn't have nuclear plants until this year. They are probably gonna have nuclear weapons in next 10 years.
You lost me as soon as you said Nordstream was bombed by the Ukrainians. Sure buddy
?? its pretty common knowledge now. i support ukraine as much as anyone else but like im not gonna deny the truth
@@lythdwhy would they do that
@@Dangle147 to push other countries to become more anti-Russian. Zelenskyy publicly affirmed that he did approve of the attack but then called them back before it went through. According to the Ukrainians, the sabotage team went ahead with the attack anyway. Whether you believe that is up to you. But it did achieve what Ukraine was looking for: Europe is now less tied to Russia and thus more likely to help Ukraine.
@@UnluckyHistorian Why would that make anyone anti-Russian? If I bombed the pipes in your home so you had no water, would that make you hate the water company or me? Joe Biden is on camera saying he was going to "end Nordstream" just before it happened. Do you know who's now selling gas to Europe at jacked up prices? USA. Ukraine has no capability of even conducting an operation like that. Only the USA had the means, the motive, and Joe Biden straight up said he was going to do it. Use your fucking head and stop believing whatever nonsense gets put out in State Department press releases. You don't have to like Russia to not be a complete idiot.

Don't worry, we can use Starli..... oh....
Russia can stop us from playing CoD and MMOs, not governments to talk to each other. Starlink is already in place :) Russia in that department is pretty far behind and I don't think they would risk us repaying the favor,
Satellites very much CAN replace seawater cables. It's always a matter of scale.

Even if Russia is land locked country nevertheless it's own internet need submarine cables to operate. How data center in Moscow will get data from Mexico if they destroy Atlantic cables?
It's no problem cutting all Russian network connections when they are leaving Russia as well.
Fyodor Dostoevsky: (referring to Russians) "Peoples who roam across Europe in search to destroy and obliterate, only for the sake of mockery and gratification." He was also deported to Siberia (1849-1854).
Everything is FAIR in WAR and LOVE. So, we can assume that anything could happen to UNDERSEA CABLES and SPACE SATELLITES.
While the internet has quite some redundancy built in, so there are no single points of failure, the risk of infrastructure under Sea is a subject to think about carefully. This also has a clear geopolitical aspect to it. At the same time, any nation could use a way to disrupt communications.
Long Live Mother Russia

According to our local aviation regulations, airlines does not need GPS. It is nice to have but it is far from critical.
Crimea is part of Ukraine
In 1954 Kruschev signed it over to Ukraine.
It has been Russian for centuries.
I suggest you consider reading some history.
too bad that 1) 90% of its population is Russian, and it barely even had any Ukrainians and 2) it was only internally reassigned as part of Ukraine in '54 when it was in USSR. Russia gave Ukraine independence on condition it remained neutral, no amount of lying or wishful thinking is ever going to change the fact you screwed up and are gonna pay for it.
In ur wet dreams now lol

@@davidap257 It has belonged to ukraine for many more centuries than to russia.
Unfortunately, expanding spae based ISP infrastructure will eventually make other operations in space extremely difficult or impossible.

Agree with me, or you're a Russian bot 🤣
You are one paranoid puppy !
Yeah they will take down EUs internet while they still haven't taken Ukraines internet out after three years
if they cut those cables, the US will shutdown internet on all of Russia
LMAO. The US can't cut any country access to internet. You have a very lacking understanding of what a WORLD WIDE WEB is... Internet is millions of computers and servers connected to each other all across the globe. You cannot cut internet unless you cut all physical cables and satellites connecting that country, at the same time.
There is no electronic switch at the Pentagon...
Russia is connected by their own satellites and thousands of km of fiber optic cables across Asia and Europe. You will need to cut all those in dozens of countries. Like Iran, Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, Belarus, Finland, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Poland...
Transnational services would be hit.
But most services have local backups, and the internet was actually designed for this sort of thing.
Starlink and other satellite services would also be used by those like the financial industry that would pay top dollar for transnational bandwidth.
Starlink wouldn't even need to be a consideration.
I don't understand how this would help Russia. It would not help them in Ukraine and give the west justification to attack any Russian ship whether military or commercial as well as escalating in other ways. Also, there is a lot of redundancy in the internet, that is the whole point after all. It would take some time to cut enough of them to really cause major disruptions. Each one cut also narrows down where Russian ships are operating. Plausible deniability goes both ways too. Russia could deny they cut the cables, US could deny they destroyed Russian submarines cutting said cables. Russia acknowledging an attack on their navy would also be them acknowledging they were the ones cutting the cables.
Russia and China have both demonstrated anti satellite capabilities
India also
good luck trying to take out thousands of satellites that way.
Also even more luck to do it without endangering every other satellite in LEO
also every Starlink satellite is easily replaceable
@@stefanfl1200 On cluster rockets detonate in 10.000 small parts in entire starlink orbit is more than enough just one imagine?

Maybe Russia should stop invading its neighbors and annexing territories of nation states like it’s medieval era
“will fall from the balcony.” I see you 😂
Yeah Russia is responsible for everything bad these days, including the potholes in my hood ;)
lol yeah everything is boogeyman Russia's fault.
So many people are saying they would be happy if the internet went down, I’m sorry but you guys are waste of air, the consequences of internet going down in current times is catastrophic so please stop being stupid
Catastrophic for the West.
So why would the rest of us give a single fuck?
Actually, the more harm is done to the US - the more independant can the rest of the world be.
So I say why not, cut those cables!
Yeah, Im not sure Saily would help if Russia cut the West's internet.

I hope there isn't a direct cable between the United States and Australia because, if there is, Russia could be truly diabolical and cut every connection we have to the rest of the world except Australia. Imagine an Internet with nothing but Americans and Australians(and Canadians and Mexicans as well).
Russia is working hard on its pariah status.

yeah. we should stop talking about it. we have another problems like a squirrels.
the possibility of the outbreak of World War 3 is boring and no longer fashionable...
In a tense scenario with Russia perhaps the start of a shooting war i don't think Nato would simply watch Russia destroy the cable infrastructure. The Russian fleet is well known and any ship or submarine would be hunted.

@thijsjong 😂😂 the thumbs up reflect the fact that people are starting to think on their
Own
the existance of setallites greatly reduces the risks of sabotage to sea cables cause this means strategic communications will still go through regardless, besides as in any grey zone operation it can only be done in small scale.. russia/china will never be able to deny a large scale sabotage and there are always other painful means to retaliate for such attacks - no one is obligated to retaliate in exactly the same manner they are attacked..

It is doomposting. Might as well just make a video about how Russia can end the world with nukes in the worst case scenario. Possible? Yes. So technically a very very big danger. Does it make it plausible for Russia to do something like that out of the blue? No. His video is entirely based on accusations with no actual proof. There is no reason to believe that an already pro-Ukraine Europe would suddenly back off and let Russia do whatever they want to, if Russia starts pissing everyone out. The internet issue could be fixed in mere days. Russias reputation would take decades to recover.

The west never attacked or destroyed any russian stuff.
that is not comparable to actually attacking the west like this.
@@PappaTom-ub3ht The West broke promises made to Gorbachev and Yeltsin about NATO expansion. After Putin’s 2007 speech at the Munich Security Conference, where he openly criticized the unipolar world order, NATO immediately started moving on Ukraine and Georgia, making it clear they were in the crosshairs. This wasn't some accidental "test" of red lines - it was a direct provocation.
@@PappaTom-ub3ht And let’s not forget the Monroe Doctrine: the U.S. considers any foreign interference in its hemisphere a threat. Russia sees NATO pushing into its sphere the same way. So no, it's not about "attacking the West"- it’s a history of broken promises and deliberate provocations.
Russia needs the internet in the West more than the West needs it. People seem to forget that Russia's stronges army is the keyboard one.
I would say that this is a stupid lie
