Undersea.

This is coolbert:

Who needs battleships and aircraft carriers when all you need to totally disrupt the ENTIRE world is a trawler that can pull up an undersea cable?

“When communications networks go down, the financial services sector does not grind to a halt. It snaps to a halt.”

"The world’s emails, TikToks, classified memos, bank transfers, satellite surveillance, and FaceTime calls travel on cables that are about as thin as a garden hose. There are about 800,000 miles of these skinny tubes crisscrossing the Earth’s oceans, representing nearly 600 different systems, according to the industry tracking organization TeleGeography. The cables are buried near shore, but for the vast majority of their length, they just sit amid the gray ooze and alien creatures of the ocean floor, the hair-thin strands of glass at their center glowing with lasers encoding the world’s data."

 

See this You Tube Short courtesy Palki Sharma the Internet undersea cable danger, world civilization highly if not totally at the mercy of a working and effective fiber-optic undersea cable system.

"If, hypothetically, all these cables were to simultaneously break, modern civilization would cease to function. The financial system would immediately freeze. Currency trading would stop; stock exchanges would close. Banks and governments would be unable to move funds between countries because the Swift and US interbank systems both rely on submarine cables to settle over $10 trillion in transactions each day. In large swaths of the world, people would discover their credit cards no longer worked and ATMs would dispense no cash."

Indeed, the Swedish government issuing instructions to citizen to keep a sum of CASH on hand at all times. If push comes to shove and WW3 occurs, those ATM no longer able to disburse money.

An entire fleet of almost two dozen repair vessels on constant standby the mission cable repair. Disaster just one cable going kaput? I like to think not.
