If you cut off russia from the internet, you will gain nothing. Because the FSB is clever enough to operate in other countries. Go to poland. Get a few SIM cards. Start a company in Kenia as a front and use it to funnel hacker into the internet. Rent a flat in Germany and get a landline. Ukraine already raided russian desinformation centers in their own country - they just did rent a flat and brought a few hundred phones with them.

Yeah I get that, but it’s more about stepping on the water hose.

Also, it's a hell of a lot easier to police inside our own borders. Guess what happens to the nice folks who run this shit within our borders?
