Replying to Avatar rewolf

What happens in the case of a world war where cables are destroyed such that there’s a Bitcoin split brain/partitioning between east and west (for example).

Do the two split networks continue to operate independently with forked chains? And then what about when the cable reconnects?

I don’t know enough about Bitcoin yet to know the answers.

Does that mean that transactions recorded in the loser chain are no longer valid?

Correct. This allows for possible double spends.
