I’m sure I’ll probably get digitally beaten for this, but:
Would this action not fit under the category of “what goes around comes around”? That’s what it’s called in my next of the woods.
If fact, once gawd-only-knows-who took out Nordstream (eyeroll), weren’t there folks everywhere warning that this wasn’t a nice way to play war? Since when it comes to undersea cables and other utilities, the earth is one big glass house where stone throwing is a really bad idea.
Or is this another one we can chalk up to “We can do bad things cuz we’re the good guys”.
I’m tellin’ ya, this hubris is gonna get people killed, and its only a matter of time before everyone realizes whose been selling the “Pipe-full-of-fun-kits-Number 7” (pun intended).
Look it up.
Just My $0.02 (let the beatings of jimjohn begin)
- OUT.
Consider this a severe digital beating, sir. The imagery above is simply brilliant! Kudos.
Nordstream was always opposed by US policy, from the 1960s on. Those for it on the US side were (sometimes) the Obama administration and the Biden administration. It was Bidens sanctions waiver that allowed Nordstream 2 to go through. And most likely this was a contributing cause of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The whole thing was a German SPD baby, going back to Willy Brandt. Merkel, a putative conservative, adopted it because, as usual, she refused to see its geopolitical implications. Merkel has a remarkably blinkered mind.
