I am truly starting to wonder how many times I have been fooled into a war narrative over the years.

that's a fact

It’s quite odd that we’re not hearing howls of outrage from Russia

Are you intentionally ignoring media censorship? Or since the NATO position is the Establishment position, is it comforting for you knowing that opposition voices are silenced?

So NATO is going after the US? This was clearly an effort led by the US.

Who's gonna expose it?

Western(deep state apparatchik)media?

They'll put in as much investigation time/effort as...election 2020 voter fraud.

When demonrat's gain power these "journalists" turn into cheerleaders and cover-up agencies...basically state media.

The system is corrupt as f....

Evil is in control.

Thank you. That explains a lot and it also points to the people many suspected were behind this.

This is about who it would hurt to sabotage the pipe line. And it isn’t just Russia.

Some people stay in line without the pipe line.

Guess who was a key state dept player behind:

1. Iraq WMDs.

2. 2014 Maidan Coup

3. Trump's Ukraine impeachment

4. Pushing Ukraine to join NATO, knowing this was a long-declared Russian "go to war" redline.

Let’s see. Who’s capable? Russia or a NATO country.

I wrote it wrong.

It should have read WHEN OR IF the US is found to have sabotaged the pipelines.

My bad.

But you are right, an alleged ‘proper’ investigation will either hit a brick wall and be squelched if the US is found to have done it OR be ‘pre-determined’ to have an outcome that invariably will have Russia at fault.

That’s what Globo Homo wants, a massive Russian reaction against Western pipelines, etc.

But Russia has it’s own agenda, and triggering a “war of pipelines” would just screw it up.

Plus, once pipelines start getting cut tit-for-tat, pretty soon nobody will remember who did it first.

Russia will not touch pipelines. Europe is already screwed, what’s the point of screwing them harder? Let America take the blame for freezing Germans.

The Russian partial mobilization of 300K ready after 3 months retraining, means they will be ready for a Ukraine offensive in December, when the ground is hard again.

Oct-Nov are mud months, vehicles must stay canalized on hard roads. Dec-Feb Russian vehicles can roam at will. A foot or 2 of snow over frozen ground is a Russian military dream.

It's why so much time/effort over the decades was put into controlling media/academia...control the media/masses, control the message/narrative, control the world.

...and so many brain-fornicated sheeple that will gladly plug their brain into any outlet that doesn't make them think for themselves.

FOURTH leak found in Nord Stream pipes

A fourth leak has been uncovered in the Nord Stream gas pipes which are thought to have been blown up in an act of Russian sabotage earlier this week.

The newest leak has been located in the Nord Stream 2 pipe, close to a larger hole discovered in Nord Stream 1 a few days ago. It means there are now two holes in each pipe, two of which are located in Swedish waters and two in Danish waters, Sweden’s coastguard said today.

Emergency crews are continuing to inspect the gas lines ahead of a mission below the waves to try and stop them leaking thousands of tons of gas into the Baltic Sea and work out what exactly happened - though that is unlikely to happen before next week. Finding answers will take longer still.

Heavy early suspicion has fallen on Russia, bolstered today by sightings of Kremlin ships and submarines in and around the area of the blasts over the last week, CNN reports. European security officials said it is as-yet unclear whether any of those craft were involved, but say the possibility is being investigated.

There is little doubt among European diplomats or NATO allies that Russia is responsible, according to reports, but without hard evidence none except Ukraine has ventured to say so out loud. In the absence of facts, conspiracy theories have proliferated.

Taken at face value, it seems unlikely that Russia would attack its own multi-billion dollar pipes - but those familiar with Moscow’s ‘hybrid’ style of warfare say it is likely Kremlin mind game to sow uncertainty and a warning to back off Ukraine. ‘It’s all part of the Russian style of political warfare,’ Bryan Clark, a former US navy strategic planner now at the Hudson Institute think tank, said. ‘It’s about sowing doubt, creating just enough fog of uncertainty.’

European leaders are now rushing to shore up defences around their own undersea pipes and data cables, amid fears they are also vulnerable to attack. A renewed energy crisis, recession, or financial crash could all result if those crucial networks were disrupted, experts and analysts warned.

It takes a bit of time for salt corrosion to occur. You can repair the leak, scrub and blow out the salt water.

They will conclude the fair and honest pipeline sabotage investigation right after they finish the Covid Origins investigation, and the Russian Collusion, and the LV Sniper, etc etc.

NEVER.
