    I can’t believe they just leave a massive interwebs cable just lying on the fucking beach like that. No wonder it got attacked.

    (Winky winky btw)

      Most infrastructure in the world is not defended against any attacks. Doing so would cost far too much money. We’re talking about thousands of miles of cable.

      The best defense is trying to not piss off people by committing Genocide.

      There’s a lot of Saudi oil refineries right next to Yemen. If bombardments on Yemen get out of hand they still have the option to wreck the world economy.

      That is just an image (probably during construction) and the damage seems to be somewhere far out in the ocean anyway.

        If they took the time, energy, and funds to do that it would just make more sense to make redundant lines.
