Spies, Cyberattacks, Russian Warships in Irish EEZ, threats for sinking Ireland with nuclear attacks and still many people here “can’t find” any proper reason to join NATO lol
If you had to pick a type of infrastructure to attack, internet cables would not be the best target.
They *can* be attacked, yes, but it’s also comparatively easy to re-route the traffic, and they’re easy to repair compared to a gas pipeline.
So the attacker gets all the downside of blame for the attack, plus very little actual real-world impact.
“Serious concerns” -> read article -> a single MEP from one of the government parties said something
I have the feeling Russia wants to escalate the war so they can make credible threats about nuclear war if they don’t get what they want.
Probably only a matter of time before the next big story is the rescue effort to save Russian mariners from a sub taking on water off the Irish coast.
Russians are deliberatly trying to start a nuclear war. Maybe they even try to provoke the west to shoot first. This is unbeliavable, they really don’t know how to lose.

Can we send out the fishermen again?

If I look at a [map](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Submarine_cable_map_umap.png) like this, and with my limited knowledge of how connecting works on the internet (hopping from router to router etc), isn’t destroying “just one” of the cables shown between the US and Europe kinda useless?
