Скачать или смотреть The Internet Is Underwater — And It Can Be Cut

Most people believe the internet lives in the cloud.
It doesn’t.

Nearly 99% of global data traffic — banking transactions, military communications, stock markets, and streaming — moves through underwater fiber-optic cables thinner than a garden hose, buried in the darkness of the ocean floor.

This video exposes the hidden “Submarine Nervous System” of the modern world — the physical infrastructure that quietly carries over $10 trillion in financial transactions every day, and why it has become the most dangerous single point of failure on Earth.

As great-power competition returns, the seabed is no longer neutral territory.
Russian research submarines, grey-zone warfare, undersea choke points, and fragile repair systems have turned the internet itself into a strategic weapon.
This isn’t about satellites.

This isn’t about Starlink.
And it isn’t a sci-fi scenario.

It’s about how a handful of underwater cables now determine global finance, military power, and economic stability — and why cutting them doesn’t just slow the internet… it isolates nations.

If these cables fail, markets freeze, communications fracture, and globalization breaks.

The internet is not a cloud.
It is a machine.
And that machine lives underwater.

• What it proves: Confirms that 99% of international data (including $10 trillion in daily financial transactions) travels via undersea cables, not satellites. It also verifies the "garden hose" size comparison and the specific physical fragility of the network.

• What it proves: verifies the existence and movements of the Russian ship Yantar. It confirms the ship is officially an "oceanographic research" vessel but is equipped with mini-submersibles (AS-37) capable of cutting cables at depths NATO cannot easily reach. It documents its loitering near Irish and UK cable zones.

Source 3: The "Repair Gap" Crisis
Source: Marketplace / International Cable Protection Committee
• What it proves: Validates the "Repair Gap" thesis. It confirms that the global fleet of cable repair ships is dangerously aging (many over 40 years old), and that there is a severe shortage of vessels capable of fixing deep-water breaks, leading to potential months-long outages.
