Nord Stream Pipelines Attack

| February 10, 2023


Gas Leak off the Danish Island of Bornholm

Recall the three mysterious gas leaks from Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines? The White House categorically denied involvement, dismissing any allegations as “complete fiction.” This despite Joe and others in his Administration going on record threatening Russia with the pipeline’s destruction if Vlad invaded Ukraine.

Well sonofabitch; he did and it blew up. Now some annoying facts are coming to light. It started with the Swedish National Seismic Network at Uppsala University, where seismic data gathered showed that the explosions took place in the water and not in the rock under the seabed. Shangins during the NATO exercise BALTOPS ’22 have also been mentioned. Now a report from an investigative journalist, as reported in the Daily Mail:

Did Biden give the order to destroy Putin’s Nord Stream pipeline?
By Lewis Pennock

Specialized U.S. Navy diving teams carried out the bombing attack against the underwater Nord Stream pipelines which supply Russian gas to western Europe during a top secret mission overseen by President Joe Biden, a bombshell report claims.

Divers planted C4 explosives on three Nord Stream pipelines in June 2022 which were detonated three months later using a sonar buoy which broadcast a signal that triggered the bombs, according to the report.

Daily Mail

A White House spox of course said the report is ‘false and complete fiction’; another spox from the thoroughly credible CIA said: ‘This claim is completely and utterly false.’ So there’s that.

Russia calls for international investigation to determine if US planted explosives in Nord Stream

Story by Daniel Stewart

The chairman of the Russian State Duma, the lower house of the Russian Parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, has called for an international inquiry to investigate the facts published by an American journalist that Washington had planted explosives in the Nord Stream pipelines.

“The published facts should become the basis for an international investigation, bring Biden and his accomplices to justice, as well as pay compensation to the countries affected by the terrorist attack,” Volodin asserted in a message posted on his Telegram account.

According to the speaker of the Russian Lower House, US divers would have placed explosives in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines “under the cover of NATO and with the support of Norway”. This strategy, says Volodin, is “reminiscent” of the German Third Reich.

He also compared US President Joe Biden to former President Harry Truman: “If Truman became a criminal who used atomic weapons against civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then Biden became a terrorist who ordered the destruction of the energy infrastructure of his strategic partners”.

Recall also the collective wisdom of the media in assigning blame to Russia as some sort of FU to Europe, their energy cash-cow. This made no sense on several levels. The question of who would benefit has one answer and it isn’t Russia. What’s that term? Casus Belli.

Thanks, Poe.

They didn’t have some old Russian mines laying around they could have used to shift the blame? 🙄

I hope we did blow it up, the Germans needed to stop funding the Russian Terrorist State. Anyone who continues to fund the Babuska Bomber is an enemy. We are going to have to fight this war sooner or later.

Naw some pesky russians were smoking down there and it just went off 😛

Russia desperately wants the US and NATO officially in the war.

Russia is incapable of forcing Ukraine to quit fighting, or to agree to give up enough territory to declare a Russian “win”. Ukrsine appears willing to fight to the bitter end. Russia is scraping the bottom of its barrel, and is risking collapse, and/or predation from south or east.

Feckless Biden and NATO are certainly capable of trying to force Ukraine to quit while Russia can claim “ahead”. The problem is, Ukraine might be just crazy enough to say “FJB” and keep fighting. Then we get to play “peacemaker” and force them.

No thanks.

It is not in our interest to give Putin a face-saving exit. Don’t do it.

If sleepy did blow it up then and it is an act of war. Therefore he has no choice but to deny it for the next 40 years or so.

Given Russia’s track record of shitty maintenance fucking up infrastructure, it is entirely possible the thing fell apart and blew up on its own. Or that, watching the wheels fall off, Russia depth charged it to get some propaganda value from yet another fuckup. Or, that someone else who hates the USA, Germany, and or Russia played ” Let’s you and him fight”, or some smart euros zorched it to fuck Russia and Germany both.

SeeMoreHershyHighway is reliably anti-American. He has no credibility, and fuck him and his objectives. His version is least likely to be true.

“Russia desperately wants the US and NATO officially in the war.”

I don’t know about Russia, but there seem to be a lot of Americans and Europeans who want to go to war with Russia.

Hard pass. Those bastards would nuke my nearest city just to be thorough. We don’t need any more gamma radiation inside the atmosphere.

The only nation to immediately benefit from a Russia-NATO war is Ukraine.

Several nations (China, NK, Brazil, India, Iran,…) stand to benefit indirectly. A great many American politicians and corporations would also benefit to a great degree.

No nation stands to lose more than Russia, in such an event.

Nah. Russia immediately gains Biden negotiating and endti the fighting with gains they otherwise cant get or keep. Like, say 20% of Ukraine. .

You don’t seriously think -Biden- will fight to -defeat- anyone, right? After chucking and running from Afghanistan as he did? After piddling around with half-ass measures in Ukraine? After having to be shamed into shooting fucking baloons?

No way. Nada.

Prezzy Creepy Sniffy knows how to phuque up a pipeline.

Apparently, we just shot down something over Alaska.

5JC

Whatever it was, was at 40K feet so it hopefully it wasn’t an airliner, which do sometimes travel that high.

5JC

Looks like it was a drone.

Once we get in the habit of shooting down intruders, then “someone” sends an “off course” weirdlooking plane with a load of nuns and orphans.

My guess: Political overcorrection.

So did Biden order the second explosion while the highly teams of experts were repairing the pipeline in December?

“The White House categorically denied involvement, dismissing any allegations as “complete fiction.” ”

Well, that settles it. Next topic……

The question that rarely seems to come up is, where did Hersh come up with this information? He’s a left wing hack “journalist” but somehow he has enough inside connections to know every detail of the operation from planning to execution?

Either the white house is telling the truth and he just made the whole thing up, or someone(s) in the deep state really, really, really want us in a war with Russia.

I think they don’t really care whether the war is with Russia or China, they just want us in a war. It can’t be one we started, we need to be attacked.

If they can goad either Russia or China into attacking us, it will do three things for them: One, war is great for business and will jump start the economy (as well as make them and their cronies rich(er)). Two, being attacked brings out the patriotism and nationalism of a people and they hope we’ll rally behind the administration in response. And three it will distract us from the investigations of the deep state (them).
