They probably will but the gas has to dissipate first.

The presence of U.S.S. Kearsarge evidences opportunity.

The possession of Airborne Mine Neutralization System evidences means.

Statements of the president and Victoria Nuland evidence motive.

The three combined suggest American guilt.

But opportunity, means and motive, even combined, are simply not sufficient proof of guilt. More is needed: forensic physical evidence, whistleblower, admission of guilt confession etc., documentary evidence, etc.

The stakes are too high , the evidence insufficient for sweeping conclusions that we have read on this thread: "There’s no question that the US was behind the destruction of these pipelines, you’d have to be a fool to believe otherwise."

The "investigation" will be carried out by the perpetrators.

This is the FBI investigating what went wrong at Waco.

It’s hardly curious which side did it?

Woke globalist inc or non woke imperial Russian Putin

Question is only which woke globalist inc asset operators pulled it off

SEALS

Link takes you to the Seapower article in the image above.
Seapower is the official publication of the U.S. Navy League.

“BALTOPS 22: A Perfect Opportunity for Research and Testing New Technology”

[In my olden days, this was known as “Cover For Action.”]

https://seapowermagazine.org/baltops-22-a-perfect-opportunity-for-research-and-resting-new-technology/

BALTIC SEA — A significant focus of BALTOPS every year is the demonstration of NATO mine hunting capabilities, and this year the U.S. Navy continues to use the exercise as an opportunity to test emerging technology, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Public Affairs said June 14.

In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.

Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68.

BALTOPS is an ideal location for conducting mine hunting experimentation due to the region’s unique environmental conductions such as low salinity and varying bottom types. It is also critical to evaluate emerging mine hunting UUV technology in the Baltic due to its applicability with allied and partner nations. This year experimentation was focused on UUV navigation, teaming operations, and improvements in acoustic communications all while collecting critical environmental data sets to advance the automatic target recognition algorithms for mine detection.

“In prior BALTOPS we demonstrated advanced capabilities to detect, reacquire and collect images of mine contacts, and transfer those images in near real-time to operators through the use of a specialized Office of Naval Research UUV,” said Anthony Constable, Office of Naval Research science advisor to U.S. 6th Fleet. “This year, through the work of NIWC Pacific and NUWC Newport, we are showing that this capability can be integrated into programs of record by executing complex multi-vehicle UUV missions with modified U.S. Navy fleet assets.”

Exclusively?

I think the globalist forces did it as a payback for referendums and seeing Putin intends to finish the ground war and take eastern Ukraine and stop his limited war approach which has dragged on

It’s reckless but Germany who it harms as well had to know I’d think

The same folks pushing trannies on our school kids are formulating this war on Putin and co

Think about that for a second

Feel secure?

As is China.

They buy cheap Russian oil and gas then turn around, bump the prices and sell to energy hungry Europeans, etc.

Well, Russia has already been ruled out of participating in the investigation.

It will be dominated by ... who dominates NATO?

Not Denmark. Who?

The big dog will investigate, with a few tokens along for show.

It will be the FBI investigating Waco.

The conclusion has already been written: RUSSIA!

My head is spinning like a roomful of bright elusive butterflies. I’m trying to figure out if this whole nordstream affair (as described here) is byzantine or kafkaesque.

Anyway, the situation was already complicated; but this commentary puts “complicated” to shame. You sure as hell can’t tell the players w/o a program (Groucho: “And you can’t tell ‘em much even WITH a program” [taps cigar]).

In the run-up to the Iraq war we were told by the UN investigators that they found no evidence of nukes in Iraq.

Our CIA, evidently, believed otherwise and convinced Powell that there were weapons of mass destruction. He in turn convinced most of us. He was wrong, he did not have the goods. He had every good argument except the goods, i.e. actual proof. So we went to war on a false premise.

I hope neither we nor Russia goes to (nuclear) war on a false premise.
