This "Denial of Service" scenario is just one of many that exist along with vulnerability of Satellites, Ground Stations, etc. On the other hand Russia and China have just opened a dialogue to create their own internet and I am sure it will be just as vulnerable as the current version.
Also, cutting internet cables deny service to everybody from the economic perspective. No trade between China and US/Europe, Russia/Europe, Africa. and moving on to GPS denial of service, trade will cease for everybody, flights will be affected for everybody. Only military aircraft will fly, if they can produce spares, get oil, get food. communicate. Only very limited economic activity happening anywhere.
This sounds like another dodgy dossier stitch up.
, or a push for more budget
