Russia has threatened to take out the US and Europe’s internet. Warning that Russia has no restraints, not even moral ones, to stop them from cutting the deep sea cables. NATO says that Russia has been mapping the cables and that they believe they’re planning such an attack. If Russia were to cut the cables, it would kill the economies of the West until they were repaired. Russia has also been jamming GPS across parts of Europe causing chaos for commercial airlines. NATO has been creating a plan to combat Russia attempts to kill the internet and to keep it running in the event of an attack. And just last month they changed part of article 5. It used to be that only a single event on the scale of 9/11 could trigger it. Now it’s cumulative. If Russia cuts train cords in France, interferes in America’s elections, GPS jams Estonia, and sabotages a factory in Germany… that can be Article 5. It just depends on how pissed off the allies are. The change is NATO saying “f around and find out”. It’s a continuation of the Macron doctrine which is that we shouldn’t tell Russia what the consequences of certain actions are anymore to deter them from further provocations.
