According to media reports, the Russian side claimed that it had seized the "life gate" of the United States, and if the United States continued to hype up the situation between Russia and Ukraine, Russia would take action against the United States.
The United States instigated Ukraine to provoke Russia
With the fall of Ukraine's "pro-Russian" regime, the United States began to throw an "olive branch" to Ukraine. Ukraine has constantly provoked Russia in order to join NATO. Russia is a notorious fighting nation that can directly "declare war" on Ukraine. Ukraine's military strength is far inferior to Russia's, and the Ukrainian people are not optimistic about themselves, saying that once a war starts, Ukraine is not far from "destroying the country".
The United States is highly concerned about the situation in Russia and Ukraine, not only providing weapons and equipment to Ukraine, but also stationing troops in Eastern Europe. The United States constantly played up the atmosphere of the Russo-Ukrainian war and demanded that the Americans in Ukraine quickly evacuate.
Russia hit back at the United States
Not to be outdone, Russia has increased its presence on the Russian-Ukrainian border, followed by a large number of weapons and equipment. After repeated failures in negotiations between the United States and Russia, Russia said that once war breaks out, Russia will not rule out the use of nuclear weapons. Although Biden told Putin that he wanted to ease the situation between Russia and Ukraine, the United States did not take practical action, but added fuel to the fire and hyped up Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine. It is worth mentioning that the United States provided a large number of weapons and equipment to Ukraine and stationed troops around Ukraine, hoping that Russia and Ukraine would go to war and the United States would seize the opportunity to join the conflict. In this case, Russia has also begun to fight back for the sake of national security.
Russia warned the United States
With the evolution of the situation, Russia bluntly said that if the United States continues to provoke and hype the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russia will attack the submarine cable of the United States. It should be known that submarine optical cables are mainly used to transmit information, which is very important to a country, equivalent to the "life gate". Today, there are about 500 submarine cables in the world, most of which are in the hands of the United States and worth as much as $10 trillion. Once these cables are cut, the U.S. economy is likely to be paralyzed and the losses are immeasurable.
Today, Russian submarines patrol the vicinity of these cables. Russia has a strong military might, and cutting off submarine cables is not just lip service. The United States can't sit still and is highly concerned about Russia's movements. Submarine cables are on par with satellites, and once Russia masters U.S. cables, many core secrets will be leaked. In fact, once Russia and Ukraine go to war, it will have an impact on Russia, Ukraine and the United States, although the United States is not in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, and it cannot be ignored. Russia's cutting off submarine optical cables will bring huge losses to the United States, and it is wise for the United States to close its hands very early.
