The US will retaliate if somebody cuts a cable belonging to the EU?
I'd be less surprised if the US were the ones doing the cutting

Countries like to demo their war capabilities to other nations simply as a kinda-threat.
Such demos help stop war happening, so I'm not against them. Wars only happen when two countries believe they will win a war. If one of those countries believes they will lose, they will just admit defeat before any actual fighting happens. If countries are aware of eachothers capabilities, there is less chance that both countries believe they will win.
