Thank you USA
BTW, there's no shortage of pipeline capacity for taking gas from Russia to Western Europe, including Germany. Nordstream's only logic was for Putin to be able to blackmail or wage war on Eastern Europe with impunity.
All Ukrainian and Baltic sea states have opposed Nordstream's construction for 20 years. Now $20 billion of scrap metal lies at the bottom of the sea, another cost to Russia of its criminal decision to invade Ukraine. Someone, @MFA_Russia, did a special maintenance operation.

The criminals in the White House ordered criminal act?
Would that be a lawful order?
In a multi-tiered legal system, anything is possible.
Who is the guy who did that, is he a friend or enemy of the US?
“If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” - Victoria Nuland (Jan 28, 2022)
Would it trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty?
We'll see how happy anyone is in Europe when they have to go through the whole winter without Russian gas.
—> Would that be a lawful order?
Not sure there’s a lawful basis for anything they do…
I support holding U.S. military officers responsible for committing this crime against humanity in this act of war against ALL OF EUROPE’S PEOPLE by blowing up both natural gas pipelines.
I call for U.S. military officers involved to stand trial in an international tribunal for following and obeying an unlawful and immoral order that will result in the deaths and suffering of millions of innocent people in Europe
Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO and we have no obligation to keep sending them billions of dollars in cash and weapons.
Russia has NOT committed ANY act of war against the United States of America and events in Ukraine are NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.
It’s been triggered.
What will be the repercussions to us? What kind of move will Russia make? This was discussed on Tucker Carlson’s news program.
Found this:
He was sworn in as Minister of Foreign Affairs in Donald Tusk’s government on 16 November 2007, succeeding Anna Fotyga.[36] He joined Donald Tusk’s liberal-conservative Civic Platform party and became a member of the Civic Platform national board in 2008.[37] Sikorski’s policies are best understood in his exposes, his annual statement to Parliament (Sejm). Each one was followed by a day-long debate.[38] As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sikorski normalized relations with Russia, and helped to terminate the Russian embargo on Polish agricultural products.[39] In 2009, Sikorski said that Russia is needed to solve the problems of European and global theatre. Therefore, if Russia could fulfil the conditions, it could apply to join NATO. He restated that NATO’s criteria that Russia would have to meet are: be a democratic state, have civilian control over the army, and to settle any territorial disputes with its neighbours.[40] At the same time, he enhanced relations with Germany and France. Cooperation in the Weimar Triangle –Poland, Germany, France – was particularly intense during his term of office.[41] Weimar Triangle meetings included consultations with third parties, such as Ukraine, Moldova and Russia.
As foreign minister, he turned the ministry into a global institution with 4500 employees and 100 foreign branches. Over seven years his ministry carried out various reforms, introducing the Diplomatic Security Service, global digital secure communications, ISO standards in procedures, electronic document management, a blackberry and laptop for every diplomat, a satellite phone for every posting, new visual standards book; The Foreign Service Day, a dress code, the Bene Merito honorary badge,[42] The Polish Institute of Diplomacy, Poland’s Lech Wałęsa Solidarity Prize[43] (worth 1 mln EUR); reduced the number of chancelleries in the MFA HQ from over 30 to 2, reformed the telegram and courier systems, reduced employment while raising salaries; quadrupled ambassadors and consuls operational funds, closed down 30 embassies and consulates and opened several new ones;[44] he opened a Polish consulate in Sevastopol, the only one representing a Western country in that city for 4 years; built a new EU embassy in Brussels,[45] a new Embassy residence in Washington, DC,[46] a new Consulate-General in London;[47] he moved consulates in Cologne, Manchester and Madrid; he created the MFA committee on cyber defence; the European Endowment for Democracy (EED), authorized intelligence operations.[48][49] During Sikorski’s term in office he was a regular visitor in Moscow and his Russian counterpart Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov visited Warsaw regularly.[50][51][52] Sikorski made his first visit in Moscow in 2008 with Donald Tusk. In 2009 he visited Moscow to enhance Polish-Russian cooperation.[53] During one of Lavrov visits, he engaged in Q&A session with Polish diplomats during MFA annual global ambassadors conference.[54]
In 2008, Sikorski concluded a long negotiation with the U.S. over the siting of a missile defense base in Poland. He insisted on Polish jurisdiction over base personnel and asked the U.S. to enhance Poland’s air defences as part of the deal. The agreement was finally signed with the U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, over the objections of Russia.[55] The agreement came less than two weeks after the outbreak of the 2008 Russo-Georgian South Ossetian war.[56] On 17 September 2009 the Obama administration changed the plans for the base.[57] The annex to the agreement, which envisages shorter-range missiles capable of defending Poland’s territory was signed in the presence of Sikorski and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton on 3 June 2010 in Kraków.[58] In March 2010, Sikorski took part in the Civic Platform Presidential primaries against the then Sejm Speaker, Bronisław Komorowski, who went on to defeat the late Lech Kaczyński’s brother Jarosław and becoming President. At that time, Sikorski enjoyed some of the highest approval and trust ratings among Polish politicians.[59]
Radosław Sikorski with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in 2014
At the height of the European sovereign debt crisis in November 2011 Sikorski delivered a speech in Berlin: “Poland and the future of the European Union” in front of the German Council on Foreign Relations, the prestigious non-profit organization composed of the German foreign policy elite.[60] He warned that EU member states faced a choice “between deeper economic integration or collapse of the Eurozone”. Sikorski made an extraordinary appeal: “I will probably be the first Polish foreign minister in history to say so, but here it is: I fear German power less than I am beginning to fear German inactivity”. Sikorski labelled Germany Europe’s “indispensable nation” and appealed to Germany to lead in saving the euro, offering Poland’s support. According to many political commentators and journalists, this speech made a tremendous impact on German and European politics, not least because it changed the perception of Poland: from a problematic and needy recipient of Western support to a full-fledged member of the European Union.[61][62] Sikorski was involved in the events of the winter 2014 Ukraine Euromaidan protests at the international level. He signed on 21 February along with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and opposition leaders Vitaly Klitchko, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and Oleg Tyagnibok as well as the Foreign Ministers of Russia, France and Germany a memorandum of understanding to promote peaceful changes in Ukrainian power.[63
Tusk is a traitor to Poland.
I believe that will be the eventual goal
NATO up against the Russkies.
Just before the Midterms. /shiny side out
His enthusiasm to blame USA makes me wonder if Poland could be responsible.
Flashback...
Biden: “If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” February 22, 2022
Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany’s control?”
Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

Thanks for the article, he seems serious and glad about the act, I don’t know that he knows who did it, so I don’t know why he would put it out there.
They need a giant I did that sticker..
This Polish dude better make himself scarce come December and January so that the people don’t warm themselves by his bonfire.
Obviously no one here knows who did it and people are posting nonsense like total wack jobs about Biden blowing up this gas line.
