You think they are doing this from NK ip blocks/asn? Their physical links are more or less enemy of enemy with US, so they have no incentive to block. Its impossible to keep them off the internet.
- mattmaroon 2y agoOh I’m not imagine anyone helping us. Im wondering why we aren’t cutting undersea cables or drone bombing land based ones. All the “international sovereignty” responses are humorous to anyone whose paid attention to the last twenty years of the American military.
- brap 2y agoBecause China really wouldn’t like it, and that’s all there is to it. Is it technically feasible? Yes.
- ClumsyPilot 2y ago> drone bombing land based ones How do you imagine that a drone will be able to find and damage an underground cable? This is not Afghanistan, a drone will not live long past China’s/Russia’s air defences.
- mattmaroon 2y agoI imagine pretty easily. They likely don’t have to find it, nothing gets dug in North Korea without US watching it via satellite. Chinas air defenses likely don’t exist in North Korea. I have no doubt the US has plans to cut them (and probably anyone else you can imagine) off in the event of war.
- justinclift 2y agoApparently China's navy is stronger than the US navy these days. So it might not be a great idea to start doing stuff like that in their back yard? ;)
- gosub100 2y agoIt's probably of higher intelligence value to let them connect and intercept everything than it is to cut them off and not know what's going on. If you look at their border with China, it's only tens of meters from fairly populated areas, so setting up high bandwidth microwave links wouldn't be hard. Also bombing a sovereign nation is an act of war and comes with consequences.
