This is an English translation of a Swedish Security Service (the Swedish intelligence agency that took over this criminal investigation from the police) news release on the status of their investigation. My personal opinion/guess was that it would take weeks for evidence to be searched for as they went over the seabed with “a fine tooth comb” and additional weeks to do detailed scientific forensic analysis and research.
IMHO, if they are saying that their crime scene investigation of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines “HAS NOW BEEN COMPLETED” they are either doing a ridiculously shallow/meaningless data collection of evidence OR they FOUND SOMETHING that INCREDIBLY AND UNQUESTIONABLY PROVES WHO DID IT.
I don’t understand Swedish so I can’t go to the source of this English translation so I guess it’s always possible that this is an imperfect translation and they really didn’t say “COMPLETED”. Any Swede here to check out the original Swedish press release?
Either that, or it’s a set-up/cover-up/whitewash.
Unless they found a submarine or bodies, not likely.
Surely whomever did it...used Russian materials...which is about all Ukraine has/had...except for "gifts" from Joe and the EU.
What you're looking for is communications...stuff like Biden's......"We will bring it to an end".
As if the intel communities of all modern powers don’t have warehouses full of their adversaries’ gear to be used in such a situation.
The Swedes already had their “evidence” in hand before sailing.
Brandon said he was going to do it. He did it. It’s not rocket brandonry.
If Putin had it done, he would have used US material. If the US did it they would have used russkie material. What if a bad actor (Ukraine, China, taliban, etc.) used both russkie and US material?
Do the US authorities have any sway over the Swedes???
This is a complex situation with many unknown facts and crazy political participants.
While I love the skeptical sarcastic banter on FR, we need more facts.
And, to sort the propaganda from the facts and the crazy politicians from the people they are leading astray.
Fact, people lie. Even the people we want to trust and most align with our own political identities lie to us. Let’s gather facts and remain a skeptic to all propaganda.
Being that these explosions took place under water the debris field/evidence shouldn’t be to big an area making the investigation go fairly quick.
Nice! That investigation would have taken the US congress or DOD 5 years and 1.4 trillion dollars to conduct.
Who’s showing no interest in this?
TTIUWP...
If they found any guns down there, they’re probably mine (but I disavow ever owning them).
Its not like any major power can’t get a hold of the other sides’ weaponry.
It would be hard to believe any side. American socialists lie as well as russian socialists do. And china benefits with high tensions between usa and russia so I include them in this.
Very interesting. Will wait for results.
