Cable cutting, if that's what it is, impairs two domains: data harvesting (as there is less to harvest) and cost/quality of the affected communications. These two domains cannot possibly belong to the same side of the Conflict. I find affecting data harvesting to be improbable, so it's either: - done by the affected principalities themselves as a neat way to limit undesired communications for their own subjects; - or a spook agency doing a live "what if comms go away" testing in irrelevant parts of the world; - or a previously undiscovered natural phenomenon (mutant laser-head sharks.)
The spies regularly spout that fiber has made eavesdropping more difficult, along with encryption, the out of control Internet, the ease of transborder evasion of laws governing global laws on privacy and national security.
