CNN: Russian ships and submarines were spotted near the Nord Stream pipeline
Hot Air ^ | September 29, 2022 | John Sexton

As Ed pointed out yesterday, there were indications from Danish and Swedish authorities that the leaks from the Nord Stream pipelines were the result of explosions, i.e. deliberate sabotage not accidents. All eyes immediately turned to Russia who has been playing games with gas deliveries through the pipelines for months. The NY Times created this graph showing the gas supply over time. As you can see, it took a sudden dip in June and then was up and down until this month when they shut it off indefinitely.

(snip)

Still, with the gas already cut off, why bother sabotaging the pipelines? The fact that the exact motive was unclear seemed to leave some doubt about who was responsible. But today we’re learning a bit more about why Europe is pointing the finger at Russia.

(snip)

Russian ships pass through the area on a weekly basis so seeing them in the area prior to the pipeline explosion doesn’t prove a connection. Officially, the US is being more hesitant about assigning blame for this than their European counterparts. National Security adviser Jake Sullivan did refer to the leaks as “apparent sabotage” but beyond that US officials aren’t committing themselves publicly.

Usually submarines don’t want to be “spotted”. They are often heard, but spotted?

We all know CNN always tells the unvarnished truth.

“Delusional. Your hero Biden said in Feb of this year that Nordstream 2 would be taken out if Russia invaded the Ukraine”.

That is correct. I’d bet the US did it.

Why would Russia blow up their own pipelines when they could simply shut them off.

The Military Industrial Complex, people enriching themselves with the Slush Funds and WEF/NWO want this war to continue.

The paranoid schizophrenia of these creeps like TR has spread clear across the spectrum.

Delusions.

This site has still not reached its goal for funding for this quarter. Used to have that done within a couple weeks.

People are not donating because of these sons a bitches like TR.

Its one thing to have a valid discussion on a conservative platform, but to spam and push the constant NAZI propaganda is interesting to say the least. BTW..TR is a never Trumper.

Even if we didn’t anyone who might have motive could bet on America being accused because Biden said we would.

I am not moving to Germany or Poland. No luck required.

Germany has been playing this stupid energy game since 2005 when Schroeder signed an energy deal with Russia. Germany is now reaping stupid awards.

We don’t have to accuse an American POTUS of attacking a Russian privately held asset without evidence.

Russia is restraining themselves….that or taking time to retaliate. Hint…where does the US export natural gas? From about ten sites in Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Maryland.

Now quoting CNN....give me a break.

And a passport? How convenient. I really trust that bit of news.

I turn to Free Republic to try to get away from the fake news idiocy....but you keep posting it.

Sure. Russian submarines were circling on the surface and waving Russian flags.

Ridiculous.

This is gaslighting on a grand scale.

Yup. Russia sabotaging their own pipeline would be like someone burning down your own house.

“We don’t have to accuse an American POTUS of attacking a Russian privately held asset without evidence.”

But it is certainly easy to pin the Russians for such....you know, without evidences?

Yeah. Okie dokie.

And we know exactly how any ‘investigation’ is going to play out given those doing the investigating are the US, EU/Germany/NATO with no Russian side involved to even remotely balance anything. Yeah, that going to work out as planned.....
