Jeffrey Sachs: Rest Of The World Thinks The U.S. Probably Sabotaged The Nord Stream Pipeline, But It Doesn't Show Up In Our Media

The only people who could possibly benefit by blowing the pipeline are the Russians (if they can blame it on the US) or the Ukrainians (if they can blame it on the Russians). It doesn’t help the US at all.

Didn't Norway just open a new pipeline to the rest of Europe? Blow up the Russian pipeline and get the US and the once and future USSR pointing at each other. Norway wins!

Risking nuclear war for US politics is a whole new low for the FReepers supporting Ukraine and, by consequence, 0bama & the globalists.

Yes, is is unbelieveable and previously, would have been unthinkable by those normally with sound judgment.

But once the position is staked out, they're willing to risk their own destruction and, worse, mine rather than admit the obvious.

More and more Lefties like Sachs are becoming favorites of “Conservatives” here on FreeRep and elsewwhere:

In June there was an explosion at the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas. The EPA has been hampering repair activity and the repair timeline has been extended from a 3-week estimate to the current estimate of November. There has been little in the news about this.

Cold weather will certainly be upon Europe by November.

True

Americans are poorly informed and largely stupid

[wardaddy]

Lol

Yep that’s why the United States threatened to blow it up even before the special military operation began

Nordstream II was never operating awaiting permit to open

Nordstream I was empty but pressurized having already been shut off by Putin

So I’m sure one morning he woke up after a night feasting on Ukrainian babies roasted on a spit and a bit of vodka and said “ shit I’ll just blow the damn thing up”

It being his single biggest asset of leverage over the west notwithstanding

[wardaddy]

We have a loud some obviously paid cadre here who believe the media

They even lost daily beast and the nation and npr now

Acolytes of the same media most of us know lies

[wardaddy]

Excellent post

It’s militarily the lowest this forum has ever gone

And we’ve had some gullies

[wardaddy]

It’s russias pipeline ownership wise

At least 51% via Gazprom

And the first one was operating but Putin had shut it off

Second has never run yet

When is the media going to ask Biden why he approved blowing up the Russian pipeline?

When is congress going to impeach Biden for attempting to start a nuclear war with Russia?

Why is Mitch McConnell approving billions of dollars for weapons for Ukraine when their leader does not agree to make any peace efforts?

[erlayman]

Knocking out the pipeline was decided even before the invasion so the administration probably had to follow through but I’m not sure it will have much effect at this point. Germany has alternative energy strategies and Russia has alternative markets.

Zero transit fees, also.

Hahaha

I’m sure many are.

Like here in the US.

1. The left owns/controls the news media.

2. They own Hollywood, the arts and entertainment (music).

3. They also have a strangle hold on education.

They have an incredible influence on “perceptions”.

You can have North Korea firing missiles over Japan, Afghanistan falling to the Taliban, a recession, inflation, a misguided and needless war in Ukraine, we can be failing in Ukraine... You can have the DOJ be a biased player acting on behalf of one party... Europe can be facing serious energy problems, the middle East can be going backwards (Israel security issues), Iran gaining power, a Russian-Chinese alliance forming, sanctions against Russia may have backfired with MOST of the world giving us the middle finger (including Mexico and Brazil in the Americas)...

And the news, TV, music, late night comedy shows, paint it how?

Western MSM today is no kidding (((worse))) than the Soviet era state run propoganda! The DDR had better reporting than this crap we are fed.

But it has traction with a lot of folks. It does shape perceptions.
