War by different means.

Nations have become too reliant on the internet.

You no longer need bullets and bombs and feet on the ground to damage a nation. To weaken their economy.

It may be my tin beanie is on too tight but I would suggest these are just probing probes looking for weaknesses that will be exploited later.

What nation in the world today seems to be trying to dominate the world?

Sounds Ike a trunk line issue if companies unrelated to FB were having performance issues in limited areas.

Mine too. Do you think it has had anything to do with the Sprint merger? I had to get a new SIM card and the phone still is not picking up the TMobile service.

Probably. But I was told it was because they were switching to 5G. 🙄
