Friday_··on Ask HN: What happens if the transatlantic undersea cables are severed one day?
In cold war no, there is no incentive to cut cables

In hot war, your connection to internet will probably go down before anyone severes the backbone cables.

First your cellular network, then other types of connection.

Then you lose electricity and stuff.

So no internet only sneakernet and maybe local networks with local power supply will be resilient enough. Yeah and radio.
