Retaining connectivity allows citizens capable and willing to access external information sources. It also allows outbound attacks from the aggressor state towards any/all targets.<br>
The other side of that coin is that it allows attacks and reconnaissance to occur from outside as well as useful or critical information or communications a path out to the world.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps the "nuclear" option should be retained for attacks or activity puting the world at critical risk. The problem then is which and how many states would be required to enact this option?<br>
How could you prevent misapplication and how could you actually police it when command and control could be air-gapped and the dangerous activity actually sourced from another(nearly any) locale.<o:p></o:p></p>
