In case someone misinterpreted the meme: these are all single points of failure that can take down large parts of the internet.
If a rouge state manages to take down any of these for a more then trivial amount of time, we would suffer enormous amount of financial damage
A rouge state? Are you referring to Cambodia ~~China~~ or some hypothetical martian nation?
I didn't mean a specific state, I just wanted to imply that terrorists backed by a state - with the money and connections that encompasses - would have the means to do this.
I currently don't see any state that would wish to cripple the internet. That would hurt indiscriminately.
Perhaps in the future, before a planned attack, to sow chaos. So China or Russia perhaps.
Perhaps North Korea, but I don't think they have the power or knowledge to do something like that and China would get mad.
Dude they were making a joke about how you put rouge state instead of rogue state. Rouge is a color in the red category sometimes used as a synonym to red.
Though they missed a joke using the Khmer Rouge (effectively omnicidal communist Cambodia) and went for China instead.
Thank You. And edited.
