Gonzalo Lira is a phony.

If you could take a minute..can I ask you what Gonzalo Lira says in this video that you disagree with? Thanks.

For the US to do it for the reasons Lira said is just insanity and requires a lot of deliberate ignorance. What he is saying is in the 9/11 conspiracy territory.

Lira insists its a submarine. The only country in the world that has submarines that could do this is Russia, not the United States. They have the Paltus special purpose submarine, the Project 678 and Project 1851 miniature submarines. This assumes it was a submarine. Some other form of sabotage can not be ruled out.

The US does not have the submarines that could do this anymore, if we ever had the ability in the first place. The NR-1 had manipular arms, she retired in 2008. The Mystic DSRVs were rescue only, not undersea manipulation, they are retired too. Any ships capable of carrying small submarines near the nordstream pipelines would make headlines.
