Pepe Escobar:
This column by Helmer is a killer. He must have got it from Russian intel sources. Of course, the Russians already know who did it (satellites, electronic monitoring working 24/7). Helmer goes all out for the bloody Poles, Navy + Special Forces (quite plausible; very good internal details); American planning and technical support (extra plausible); aid by Danish and Swedish military (plausible).
That ties in completely with my conversation with a German intel source: he said the BND was pissed because THEY WERE NOT IN THE LOOP!!!!! Of course not: this was an anti-German op. That may turn out metastasizing into an intra-NATO war. APPROVED BY THE AMERICANS - as in the neo-con Neanderthals who are running the government machine behind the senile teleprompter reader.
That’s the point of my column: a declaration of war against Germany and against the CITIZENS of the EU - not Brussels (NATO runs Brussels, not sadomaso domina von der Lugen). No wonder the Germans are absolutely mum. NO ONE from the German government is saying ANYTHING. This ain’t pretty. There WILL be blood.
If there is any truth to that, it may portend the end of NATO.
