Three deep-water explosions destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines under the Baltic Sea in September 2022.
Swedish seismologists reported that one of the three explosions measures 2.3 on the Richter Scale of earthquake intensity, but this was no earthquake. It was explosion—like a gigantic undersea mine.
The explosions guaranteed that Germany and the EU would not go wobbly with regard to sanctions against Russian energy imports. The damage to the pipelines will take months to repair, and repairs are unlikely to begin until this summer. Even if Germany were to cry “uncle” as civil unrest intensifies over lack of heat and energy, even if Russia decided to turn the power back on, the conduit for Russian gas to Europe was broken.
No country to this day has taken responsibility for the blasts that took out the Nord Stream pipelines to Europe.
Only one country benefited from the blasts. We wrote about this extensively at The Gateway Pundit after the attack.
The terrorist act put Europe in a bind with uncertain supplies of oil and gas before winter.
In a bold statement following the explosions, Secretary of State Tony Blinken cheered the news of the explosions as “a tremendous opportunity” for Europe “to remove dependence on Russian energy.”
Sweden released the first photos from the damaged Russian Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany after the blast.
The footage was published by the Swedish newspaper Expressen.
It is clear the explosion was not caused by Russia or the Western media would have reported that by now. Sweden did not share its investigation which seems odd unless they are protecting someone.
In early February Germany released its study of the disaster. Investigators concluded there was NO EVIDENCE that Russia was behind the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines.
Also in February, a bombshell report was released by author Seymour Hersh pointing the finger at Joe Biden.
The report concluded that President Joe Biden personally oversaw a secret mission in which specialized U.S. Navy dive crews bombed the underwater Nord Stream pipelines, according to Daily Mail and Seymour Substack.
The report claimed that in June of 2022, Navy divers planted C4 explosives on three Nord Stream pipes, and three months later, they were detonated by a sonar buoy that emitted a signal that triggered the bombs.
Now we are being told the Nord Stream pipeline explosion was caused by a “pro-Ukrainian group.”
Seriously, who knew the Ukrainians had such a competent and advanced scuba team operating off the coast of Denmark?
Via Reuters.
New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
There was no evidence that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy or his top lieutenants in Ukraine were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials, the newspaper reported, citing U.S. officials.
Who knew just 10 years ago that our media and intel community would become such a complete joke?
But why can’t Ukraine be the responsible party?
You can even posit that Ukraine received various forms of surreptitious assistance from the US, or Poland, or Norway, but even so it would have been a Ukrainian job.
Biden did it.
“ But why can’t Ukraine be the responsible party?‘
***********************************************
I’m trying to figure out WHO IS MORE DESPERATE TO PIN IT ON THE UKRAINIANS… you or the nit-wit (and now fearful) Biden regime. The Biden regime had the figurative gun, pointed it at the target, pulled the trigger and killed the target.
Now, upon further reflection (and the truth slowly but surely coming out), they’re trying to blame some unknown, shadowy Ukrainian group. At least they’re not trying to say it was a ONE-ARMED UKRAINIAN… at least not yet.
Nope. The pro-zelensky posters are laptop keyboard operators. No one has gone to Ukraine to help their hero Zelensky.
” WHO IS MORE DESPERATE TO PIN IT ON THE UKRAINIANS…”
Desperate? No. But it is my pet theory (mine! mine! I was first!) dating back to when it happened. And now we have a report intimating that I was right. I like being right. It’s the old warm and fuzzies.
A veritable prophet, I am.
Let's fix this assertion by the thread neocon, shall we?
"If it’s the Ukrainians they were well within their rights to destroy Russian state (or even private) German property in international waters. It is a war after all."
It was an attack on German infrastructure.
So, it was an attack on NATO, because Germany is a member of NATO.
Enshrined within Article 5 of its founding treaty, NATO allies see “an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.”
The Ukraine attacked NATO. End of story.
GP then says: "In early February Germany released its study of the disaster. Investigators concluded there was NO EVIDENCE that Russia was behind the explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines""
Reuters, "Germany says no results yet of Nord Stream pipelines sabotage investigation"
BERLIN, March 7 (Reuters) - The German government on Tuesday said it had taken note of a New York Times report that said new intelligence suggested a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the Nord Stream pipelines attack last year but its own investigation has not yet reached results.The German press is running stories about what they their sources say the Germany government is saying or is going to say in its report. The German government is denying this, not the US government.
This article is another GP word salad.
It is so ridiculous to even consider.
The Ukrainians used a sub to plant the explosives. LOL. The Ukraine has no subs. I smell the CIA and our Navy or perhaps the UK and their navy.
