    The unsettling part isn’t that tankers are lingering over cables. It’s that nobody can easily distinguish a ship having a very boring afternoon from one preparing to disconnect entire countries. Apparently the global Internet now depends on whether a tanker captain feels like dropping anchor.

    I wonder who’s telling them the locations. By that I mean I wonder when Putin, Trump’s best friend now that Epstein is dead, told Iran where the cables are.
