Russia temporarily restricts access to the global network to test its 'sovereign Internet' - Lemmy.world

Truly a sign of Russian confidence! /s
My thought is that this is so they can some kind of crippling attach on global internet infrastructure, without themselves being affected
This gives everyone a great opportunity to filter out all the IP’s that belong to the nefarious element in Russia as they would, no doubt, remain connected.
I think it should be a bit worrying for people outside russia too. This is literal practice for a world war scenario. We can meme all you want but I don’t like seeing countries crossing items in that checklist.
Would this not be similar to China…although…what are other items do you need to cross off before going to world war? Asking for…ahh… A friend…
