”I don’t want that pipeline operational

She was a witness in Trumps’ impeachment (one of them, anyway).
Right....because supposedly pootz blew up his own pipeline. Weird that D.C. would be so keen to collude with pootz to keep the pipeline shut down.
She looks like the cat that swallowed the canary.
What’s that saying?
Once is xxxxx.
Twice is coincidence.
Thrice is enemy action.
They are just getting started.
PS, stay safe in the storm.

Nord Stream 2 requires military protection
[From April 2021. NATO would not permit Russia to install surveillance systems along the NS2 pipeline, citing total BS reasons. Excellent article, excerpted here.]
The West continues to put pressure on Russia to stop the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline - and the most important event in this chain was the Polish military provocations. Can opponents of the gas pipeline resort to real military operations against Nord Stream 2 - and if so, what should Russia counter this with?
Recall that in early April 2021, the situation around the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline seriously escalated. A significant number of civilian ships and warships (mostly Polish), as well as submarines, made dangerous maneuvers around the pipeline construction vessel Fortuna. Polish military aircraft flew around and over the construction site.
Real provocations and future sabotage
In parallel with the provocative actions, a number of Western officials made statements according to which Russia allegedly intends to use the pipeline to seize the Baltic, place its warships along it, and reconnaissance equipment on it. An example is an article by Polish official Stanislaw Zaryn, representative of the Polish Minister Coordinating Special Services, in the US online publication Defense News, in which he “warns” the US and the West that Russia may place “intelligence systems” on the pipeline. Similar insinuations have been heard in the West before, including from higher-ranking officials and politicians.
These statements, it can be assumed, are made in order to politically exclude in advance the possibility of Russia installing security systems near the pipeline and guarding it by our ships. To make it so that with any attempt by Russia to guarantee the safe operation of Nord Stream 2 by special means, a scandal could be raised on the topic of “Russian aggression”. We are talking, in particular, about systems that would not allow sabotage to be carried out on it (the Poles are trying to present this equipment in advance as “reconnaissance systems”).
In other words, opponents of the strategic Russian gas pipeline want Nord Stream 2 to be technically defenseless against possible military operations. So, if necessary, it could be disabled with the help of sabotage means. Moreover, the “respected partners” have all the means for this. It sounds like some kind of cheap conspiracy theory, but, alas, there are no other rational explanations for these actions and statements.

Pres. Biden: “If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany’s control?”
Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.” http://abcn.ws/3B5SScx

it is Sen Johnson who is the bigger hawk in the video clip. what a shame.
Stalin caused way more deaths than Hitler, so I would think he should at least make the list. Hitler was a piker compared to Stalin.
THE BORNHOLM BLOW-UP REPEATS THE BORNHOLM BASH — POLAND ATTACKS GERMANY AND BLAMES RUSSIA
The military operation on Monday night which fired munitions to blow holes in the Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II pipelines on the Baltic Sea floor, near Bornholm Island, was executed by the Polish Navy and special forces.
It was aided by the Danish and Swedish military; planned and coordinated with US intelligence and technical support; and approved by the Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
The operation is a repeat of the Bornholm Bash operation of April 2021, which attempted to sabotage Russian vessels laying the gas pipes, but ended in ignominious retreat by the Polish forces. That was a direct attack on Russia. This time the attack is targeting the Germans, especially the business and union lobby and the East German voters, with a scheme to blame Moscow for the troubles they already have — and their troubles to come with winter.
Morawiecki is bluffing. “It is a very strange coincidence,” he has announced, “that on the same day that the Baltic Gas Pipeline opens, someone is most likely committing an act of sabotage. This shows what means the Russians can resort to in order to destabilize Europe. They are to blame for the very high gas prices”. The truth bubbling up from the seabed at Bornholm is the opposite of what Morawiecki says.
But the political value to Morawiecki, already running for the Polish election in eleven months’ time, is his government’s claim to have solved all of Poland’s needs for gas and electricity through the winter — when he knows that won’t come true.
Inaugurating the 21-year old Baltic Pipe project from the Norwegian and Danish gas networks, Morawiecki announced: “This gas pipeline is the end of the era of dependence on Russian gas. It is also a gas pipeline of security, sovereignty and freedom not only for Polish, but in the future, also for others…[Opposition Civic Platform leader Donald] Tusk’s government preferred Russian gas. They wanted to conclude a deal with the Russians even by 2045…thanks to the Baltic Pipe, extraction from Polish deposits, LNG supply from the USA and Qatar, as well as interconnection with its neighbours, Poland is now secured in terms of gas supplies.”
Civic Platform’s former defence and foreign minister Radek Sikorski also celebrated the Bornholm Blow-up. “As we say in Polish, a small thing, but so much joy”. “Thank you USA,” Sikorski added, diverting the credit for the operation, away from domestic rival Morawiecki to President Joseph Biden; he had publicly threatened to sabotage the line in February. Biden’s ambassador in Warsaw is also backing Sikorski’s Civic Platform party to replace Morawiecki next year.
The attack not only escalates the Polish election campaign. It also continues the Morawiecki government’s plan to attack Germany, first by reviving the reparations claim for the invasion and occupation of 1939-45; and second, by targeting alleged German complicity, corruption, and appeasement in the Russian scheme to rule Europe at Poland’s expense.

Be assured that some of the Repubs and RINOs are equally complicit. NEOCONS are present in all parties; hence, why I did not mention or include them.
She is also one of Hillary’s henchmen
That gif. is a perfect way to explain the Nord Stream sabotage. Only the willfully ignorant can read what Victoria Nudelman has said and still walk with the Washington/London axis.
Couldn’t they have just turned the valve off if it is their pipeline?
Wouldn’t you do that if you were at war with someone?
Why blow it up?
