The internet's backbone is under attack, but the war is happening thousands of meters below the surface. In this episode of Daily Nuggetz, we plunge into the "Invisible War" over critical undersea infrastructure (CUI)—the network of cables and pipelines that carry 99% of global internet traffic and power entire continents.We analyze the 2022 Nord Stream sabotage, which shattered the illusion of security and exposed Europe to "hybrid threats"—actions designed for maximum disruption with total deniability. Discover the tactics of the Russian "Shadow Fleet"—aging tankers that turn off their trackers to act as covert surveillance platforms—and the specialized GUGI unit operating deep-sea nuclear submersibles capable of tapping or cutting cables at depths of 6,000 meters.Tune in to learn how NATO is racing to protect this "gray zone" and why a simple Chinese ship dragging an anchor over a cable might be the perfect act of modern warfare.
