‘Don’t Listen to What Putin’s Saying’ – Biden and Allies Deny West Sabotaged Russian Pipelines
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2022 | BREITBART LONDON

Posted on 10/01/2022 7:07:24 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday accused the West of sabotaging Russia-built natural gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea to Germany, a charge vehemently denied by the United States and its allies.

Nordic nations said the undersea blasts that damaged the pipelines this week and have led to huge methane leaks involved several hundred pounds of explosives.

The U.S.-Russia clashes continued later at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in New York called by Russia on the attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, and as Norwegian researchers published a map projecting that a huge plume of methane from the damaged pipelines will travel over large swaths of the Nordic region.

It is entirely likely that this was an industrial accident involving hydrate plugs.

Hobson’s choice; listen to our criminal, or listen to their criminal.

Jobama (Obozo) are as guilty for this as much as they are liars. There is no truth in either of them.

I'm not convinced it wasn't an accident.

NORDSTREAM

Ok, the Nord pipeline incidents.

Sigh. I shouldn’t do this, but …

I call them “incidents” for a reason. I grew up in overseas oilfields. I try to, by training, observe everything from as objectively neutral a viewpoint as possible.

In my experience when anything involving energy-industry hydrocarbons explodes … well, sabotage isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it’s Tuesday. Or Friday. Or another day of the week ending in “y”.

“But, LawDog,” I hear you say, “It was multiple explosions!”

Yes, 17 hours apart. No military is going to arrange for two pipes in the same general area to be destroyed 17 hours apart. Not without some Spec Ops guy having a fit of apoplexy. One pipe goes up in a busy shipping lane, in a busy sea, and everyone takes notice. Then you wait 17 hours to do the second — with 17 hours for people to show up and catch you running dirty? Nah, not buying it.

The Nord pipelines weren’t in use. To me, that means it’s time for maintenance! Hard to maintain pipes when product is flowing.

Pipelines running methane, under saltwater, require PMCS* quicker than you’d think, and more often than you’d believe.

I would bet a cup of coffee that any of the required weekly and monthly checks and services since the Russians took over have been pencil-whipped. (See Andreev Bay 1982.)

Their comments about “stopping Nordstream 2” have been greatly exaggerated.

You're exaggerating, again...

I hope people read the whole of this blog installment. As you are, I am not wholly convinced it was not an accident. The two explosions some 17 hours apart could easily have been due to “maintenance operations” having been started on both pipe-lines more or less simultaneously. Just stopping the clearing away of hydrate plugs when the first line exploded may nothave been sufficient to save the second one.

Then again, it appeares that every navy (including the Swedish one) has been visiting the sites of explosions quite recently, so who knows.

Nope.
They need to be publicized even more. Too many Democrats still don't even know about it.

The West did it.


So says the Chinese Communist Party, too. America hating birds of a feather...

Why would Russia destroy their golden goose leverage tool

One that was never opened and the other not flowing

And given many leaders in the west had threatened it previously including president Bernie

(Weekends at)

And note USA response is muted

Putin should ignore it for now and continue to consolidate eastern gains of the Russian speaking and sympathetic populace

Russia and Germany can repair it later

It’s shallow water and the repair can be done in months

The Swedish government who actually monitored the explosions, say they were bombs.
You are going to believe some blog by some random guy on the internet rather than the Swedish government who actually monitored these explosions?

Except it isn’t one pipeline, but two pipelines 75 km apart. As for the 17 hour difference-
1. The second explosion was larger than the first, maybe someone figured out a larger hole would be needed? And that required some prep time?
2. Your confidence in the punctuality of military operations is-— perhaps misplaced. Even with special ops, and especially when politicians are involved.

It doesn’t matter what Putin says, I figure Biden, in an adlib will spill the beans. Probably before the election. Then just watching the coverup will be worth the admission.
Well, maybe not if that admission is WW3.

Russia had everything to gain by blowing up the pipeline and blaming it on the US. Do you really not see that?

Considering the default response to any world event by our government is a lie, you are probably correct.

They've officially denied it.

And certainly Russians would never lie, right?

Tovarisch, Russians -- specifically the Soviet-era KGB for which Uncle Volodya once worked -- invented the term "disinformation".
