Russian submarines have been spotted operating near the
vital undersea cables that carry almost all global Internet communications. This discovery is raising concerns among some
American military and intelligence officials that the Russians might be
planning to attack those lines in times of tension or conflict. While there is
no evidence yet of any cable cutting, it is part of a growing concern among officials
over the accelerated activity by Russian armed forces around the globe. United
States is increasingly viewing every Russian move through a lens of deep
distrust. These actions are very similar
to how the U.S viewed Russia during the cold war. One
NATO ally, Norway, is so concerned that it has asked its neighbors for aid in
tracking Russian submarines. Submarines are not the only vessels that are
snooping on the undersea cables. American officials closely monitor the Yantar,
which Russian officials insist is an oceanographic ship with no threat.
