    This internet use is getting more expensive. A VPN added to IPS per month :)

    A quality VPN in external hardware at the end of the network will be the only protection soon.
    Ads and malware will part of trusted encrypted servers and be very hard to seperate from each visit to a "trusted" site.

    It was a network only the 5 eye nations like the UK and USA could do globally and in real time.
    South America, South Africa, Asia, Europe all on the same global network in real time back to the UK and USA.
    Russia had to use spy ships, embassy locations and human spies for that.

    Re "I'm curious how hard it would be for the US to disconnect from the outside Internet."

    The CIA always needs the full cover of huge amounts of international calls, data to hide their global networks of spies in and under.
    Turn off that cover of vast US international data and peering that's global and 24/7 and every CIA spy that has data to send is stuck with a failed connection attempt that could be detected.

    The US can never have its international peering stop.
    To many people all over the world as US tourists, NGO, workers, academics, think tank workers, experts with full CIA cover who have information to send back to the USA every day.
    All the spies the CIA gave cash to who have data to send via the internet.
    Its all done digitally and has to arrive back in the USA in real time. No CIA, US embassy worker wants to walk around with another nations secrets for hours.
    So the internet is used to send data out. The global internet has to stay on for the USA. The more users globally the more cover for their decades of spies.
    Peering ensures most other nations cant disconnect from the USA and the US cant be kept out of their networks by design :)

    Domestic services from the Soviet Union decades went on a different local and national network, layer.
    International was a different network, layer, now digital.
    Russian kept the idea of one network, two layers. One domestic. One new, digital and international.
    Domestic and international digital networks can still work without each other.
    The ISP will still work internally to Russia. Russian games, science, education, company database, banking, medical, shopping, email, forum, social media, search engine.
    Russia has a much more easy way to separate its network and everything keeps working domestically.

    The Soviet planning of a domestic network and a fully monitored international network.
    Russia had to use the same network and now has two different networks.
    The trick might be in how the long-distance connection still got separated from all other networks.
    Its stops and everything else keeps working internally as everything international from Russia is now all digital.
