Gatewaypundit ^ | 10/02/2022 | Richard Albelsen

“The Germans were warned in summer by the CIA about a possible attack scenario on the Nord Stream pipelines. US Intelligence claimed to have intercepted Russian communications in which concerns were expressed about possible Ukrainian attacks on Western infrastructure. The Ukrainians allegedly tried to rent a boat in Sweden for this purpose.”

When’s the last time the CIA told the truth about anything?
Especially under Biden?

The Ukrainians may have bribed somebody to do it for them, but it’s more likely done at the xirect of the globalist elite.

This story is excellent for my other forum, it is pretty far out there.

BUT Ukraine would have a financial motive, more gas thru Ukraine eventually. Maybe...

Its not that hard to do I think.
One little trawler, a fifty fathom steel cable and a grapnel to snag the pipe, and a half-ton explosive charge to slide down the cable.

It was perfectly timed with the Uke offensives, to put the most PR and psych pressure on Russia.

Yes of course the Ukes could do it.

Its actual, severe damage on Russian infrastructure. Theres all sorts of reasons for the Ukes to do it.

“Does the Ukraine actually have that ability?”

All we have is an alleged attempt at a boat rental. So maybe the question is: “Could Ukraine hire someone with that ability?”

The CIA is worried because the people in Europe are now p*ssed with the US over this and they are trying to deflect our involvement by pointing the finger towards Ukraine. There’s no way Ukraine could have pulled this off by themselves and nobody is buying this story.

The pipeline as only at 70 meters.

I think anyone could do it. One little ship, some depth charges and an intrepid crew.

The last time the truth served their purpose, of course. :/

The pipe was at 70 meters. Anyone could do it. Just need to pinpoint the pipe. 50 fathoms of steel cable and a fabricated grapnel will do that. Add a half-ton of explosives. Done.

Thanks. We always ask “Who benefits” in these circumstances.

Doubtful that they did it with their own resources, but they benefited from the destruction and having the one-world press blame the Russians for destroying their own pipeline.

It could just have been the usual incompetence from Russia.

My guess from the beginning. They are the chief benefactor of the destruction of Nordstream....AND.....Zelensky said nothing but called a meeting of his higher ups.

If so it was well timed incompetence.
