Baltic Pipe: Norway-Poland gas pipeline opens in key move to cut dependency on Russia
Euronews ^ | September 27, 2022 | Alasdair Sandford

Leaders from Poland, Norway and Denmark have attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the new Baltic Pipe, a key stage in the drive to wean Poland and Europe off Russian gas.

The pipeline will transport natural gas from the Norwegian shelf via Denmark and through the Baltic Sea to Poland. It is the centrepiece of a Polish strategy to diversify away from Russia that began years before Moscow’s February invasion of Ukraine triggered a global energy crisis.

The flows from Norway along with supplies via liquefied gas terminals are central to Poland's plan. The country was cut off from Russian gas supplies in April, allegedly for refusing to pay in roubles.

"The era of Russian domination in the field of gas is coming to an end, the era that was marked by blackmail, threats and extortion," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said at the inauguration at Budno in western Poland.

It was Biden and a woman named Nuland and others and they stated this before the Russian invasion.

The Russians will follow up with attacks of their own. You can count on it.

Because Putin won’t blow it up in retaliation after Brandon and some fat broad bragged about blowing NordStream up?

True, I agree that Russia would have every reason not to damage their own pipeline. BUT, Putin may have done it in order to draw the US and NATO into a full blown WWIII.

Modified for another, very real, possibility.

Just in time to rally round the standard for the mid-terms...

The Yalie smart boys in the White Hospice danced right up to that line without realizing what was possible.

I would say they're at fault.

Them, and their hubris.

The Norway-Polish pipeline only has a capacity of roughly 10bcm

NS1 = 55bcm
NS2 = 50bcm

Good luck.

So you’re making the argument that this was the world’s most devastating, to the perpetrator, false flag operation? I think it’s technically possible but just highly unlikely. It would be sort of the equivalent of the United States wiping out all of our oil fields in alaska. And then using it as an excuse to blame Russia for it.

Whether the US did, or didn’t, blow up the gas pipeline isn’t of any consequence because of the incompetence of Biden and Nuland claiming they would “take out” that pipeline. There simply is no plausible deniability after idiotic comments by Biden’s egotistic, megalomaniacal, dementia-addled, mouth.

One of the noted characteristics of dementia is that the victim loses the ability to restrain and control his thoughts and Biden’s reveal on Nord Sream is just that. The CIA/Pentagon briefed on this option and his compromised mental state, plus his smart ass bragadocio led to blurt out. He was off teleprompter at the time. Destruction is what Democrats are good at. This is lunacy what they just did.

“The Russians will follow up with attacks of their own. You can count on it.”

From out here in Flyover Country, it sure looks like the Democrats and their Neocon allies along with NATO are pushing with all their might to get Putin to use a tactical nuke in Ulraine in order to kick off a nuclear WW3.

How long before this pipeline is sabotaged? Tit for tat, eh.

It’s a strange dynamic. Bidet managed to crush the Israeli pipeline to Italy the second he got into office, giving tons of leverage to Russia.

This could be anyone: Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Norway, USA or England, arguably Israel (I doubt that one, but I’m Israeli and take my bias for what it is worth), or non state actors like green peace loonies.

I’m thinking it’s environmental whackos in the USA state department.
