“..Let me answer his question. Let me be clear: The United States categorically denies any involvement in this incident, and we reject any assertions saying the contrary…” - U.S. deputy ambassador Richard Mills (9/30/2022).
Well, that took long enough and the finger pointing continues. Soon as word got out that high explosives were used to destroy Nordstream 1 & 2, NATO nations were quick to point the finger eastward towards global enemy #1 – Vladimir Putin; citing less evidence than there was for proving election fraud in the 2020 election. In fact, all the allegations from the west so far are merely allegations.
But Mr. #46 (the walking, talking justification for the 25th Amendment) says, we’ll know more once divers get to the scene of the crime and gather evidence. Perhaps he’ll send the same team that investigated the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant shelling. No matter. I propose a solution to determine who was actually behind this incident (i.e. act of war).
To Russia: Make a public offering to Germany to repair the pipelines - together. Set a timeline for when the pipes can resume operation, then offer the natural gas from the pipelines at no cost for a limited time period.
Then watch who screams the loudest. That’ll be your culprit.
Once this offer is made, it would be wise for the western war-hawks to a) stay away from twitter and b) keep #46 away from a microphone until November 9th.
As for the Germans, NATO and EU notwithstanding, they should make a public statement considering joining the BRICS alliance, then meet with a few of their officials. Use the cover ‘to help pay for the pipeline repairs and other resources to keep them warm and functioning over the winter’. Now, this may appear to be an unrealistic expectation, but the German people may find this as welcome news. Could keep the angry crowds from the Brandenburg, or at least reduce the number. And if The Deutschland decided to join the Russians on pipeline repairs, they should cash in any U.S. Treasury notes or bearer bonds they may be holding to help cover the cost; and make that a public statement as well.
Wanna see heads explode?
Don’t think this is too far-fetched. In case you missed this little tidbit in the recent news-whirlwind, the last Ukrainian request for German weapons was denied, as I suspect the Germans had already been getting cold-feet about this whole western money-pit called Ukraine that can easily turn into the latter chapters of the Book of Ezekiel.
So while we here in the good ol’ USA are busy pointing fingers, the primary concern on this matter should be “who do the affected parties suspect in this act of war, and how will they respond?”
… or perhaps more focus on protecting our own border instead of a border thousands of miles away.
Germany, Russia: The ball’s in your court. Choose wisely.
Just my $0.02
Who benefits from the situation?
Europe? No.
Russia? No.
Who had multiple officials (including the president) in the last 6 months say they were “going to get rid” of Nord Stream.
Occam’s razor.
If Colombo was on the case, it would be closed.
What IS interesting is why someone would go so far outside the known facts to come up with a “cover story”.
Mockingbirds all over.
You’re right on. Seems Italy and their new Lovely, has been targeted with the stop of Russian fuel arising by a problem in AUSTRIA!
This means she was immediately boxed in.
How does she respond?
She sides, Today, with support for UKR.
Funny thing about EU Leverage in the hands of Tyrants.
“picture evidence”??
It took me three readings before the - hit home.
Un fair!
46 at his peak, no more. He’ll auger in shortly.
Shouldn’t that headline say “Testing New Technology” instead of “Resting...” ? Or is there new terminology that I’m not aware of?
I assume it’s a typo. Everywhere in the body of text it’s testing.
