Who Secretly Destroyed Two Russian Nuclear Reactors?
you tube ^ | 1 Jan 2026 | William Spaniel

In December 2024, a Russian cargo vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. No one paid much attention to it, though, because it was one of many interesting things happening in the world at the time. However, a year-long Spanish investigation has revealed that the ship was carrying two nuclear reactors, with delivery intended for North Korea. Today's video explores the investigation and who might be responsible.

I think the content is super captivating. The torpedo though, might be supercavitating

Some interesting tidbits and speculation to start the new year.

I love the way the headline tries to make it sound like Russia lost two nuclear reactors it was using for power.

Propaganda is written that way.

The democrats and some republicans are scared to death that the ukraine money laundering gravy train is coming to an end.

Could it be that these reactors were destined for North Korea to be used for their nuclear sub?

Yep, and people will cling to their hopes no matter the evidence, it’s rather shocking to watch. They will push that propaganda until the bitter end and then disappear and never speak of the subject again.

The leading Ukraine propagandist left here 2 months ago. The followers are still staggering around claiming victory is at hand.

“Propaganda is written that way.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh yes?

Is Russia’s recent nuclear deal with the Islamic State of Iran... propaganda as well? Or do you want to endlessly rationalize that in Iran’s and Russia’s favor too?

Iran and Russia sign $25-billion deal to build nuclear power plants, state media says

Typical liberals: Complain loudly until they get caught and lose and then walk away saying, “Whatever.”

Russian rail goes directly into North Korea. You wouldn’t load reactors into a ship and circumnavigate the globe, through war zones and through waters with NATO prowling to enforce imagined “sanctions”.

Russian rail has its own problems.

Or breeder reactors for reprocessing spent fuel?

Depends entirely on reactor vessel diameter, length, railroad clearances, tunnels, nozzle sizes. Nozzle lengths.

Some actually go dark for years, once their topic is no longer in the news.

Here’s a **clean, concise summary** of the transcript you provided — no fluff, just the core storyline and conclusions.


# ⭐ **Summary of the Transcript**

The transcript describes a geopolitical mystery surrounding the December 2024 sinking of the Russian ship **MV *Ursa Major*** in the Mediterranean. What was initially reported as an engine‑room explosion is now suspected — based on a Spanish government investigation — to have been a **deliberate attack** on a vessel secretly transporting **two nuclear submarine reactors** from Russia to **North Korea**.

### **1. Why Russia Was Shipping Reactors**
- In August 2024, Ukraine invaded the Russian region of **Kursk**.
- Russia avoided using conscripts and instead brought in **North Korean troops** to defend the area.
- As part of compensation, Russia allegedly agreed to help North Korea build **nuclear‑powered submarines**.
- The *Ursa Major* was secretly carrying **submarine reactor components**, not icebreaker parts as claimed.

### **2. The Sinking**
- The ship stopped suddenly between Spain and Algeria and sank the next day.
- Two crew members died.
- Spain’s investigation found evidence inconsistent with an internal accident:
- Hull damage bent **inward** (external blast).
- Seismographs detected multiple explosions.
- Russian naval vessels behaved suspiciously, firing flares and controlling the site.
- A Russian intelligence ship later arrived to recover or destroy evidence.

### **3. Possible Perpetrators**
The transcript evaluates several suspects:

- **Ukraine**: strong motive, but unclear capability — especially regarding the suspected weapon.
- **South Korea**: motive (stop North Korean nuclear subs), but unlikely to operate so far from home.
- **United States / Germany**: capable but politically cautious in late 2024.
- **Iran**: no motive.
- **Russia itself**: possible self‑sabotage to avoid empowering North Korea, but speculative.
- **China**: possible motive to keep North Korea dependent on Beijing, also speculative.

### **4. The Supercavitating Torpedo Theory**
- The ship’s captain described damage consistent with a **supercavitating torpedo** — an extremely fast, rare weapon.
- Only a handful of countries possess such technology (Russia, U.S., China, Germany, Iran, South Korea).
- Ukraine is not known to have it.

### **5. Conclusion**
- The evidence is contradictory and incomplete.
- The country with the strongest motive may not have had the capability.
- The country with the capability (Russia) was the victim.
- Other capable countries lacked motive.
- The sinking remains **unsolved**.


If you want, I can also produce:

- a **very short 5‑sentence summary**
- a **timeline of events**
- a **suspect comparison table**
- or a **cleaned‑up narrative version** of the story

The headline does not imply any such thing, but then you know that, being a propagandist yourself.
