As I said previously once you start (massively) cutting cables it means you're at war.

If the US and Russia are at war, we (civilians) will have more pressing concerns than no or reduced Internet capabilities.

But yeah let's continue this fear mongering, propaganda always need an enemy that can do evil things like depriving you of the internet before they kill you ...

Russia seems quite fond of deniable warfare at the moment: doing things that are acts of war, like invading other countries, then denying that they've done it and using their propaganda outlets to spread confusion and disinformation. Cutting cables would make a very effective way of waging war without seeming to wage war.
