It might help some influential people to get off their asses if it were announced that new fiber is planned to be laid on routes which bypassed the US.

They would just tap it underwater as they have done in the past (and probably present).

Is tapping underwater cabling still a viable option with encrypted packeted communication where where equipment at both ends of the cable have performed a DH key exchange?
