Norway on edge over drone sightings, arrests of son of Putin confidant
The Washington Post ^ | October 20, 2022 | Emily Rauhala

Norwegian officials warned Thursday that there could be more arrests after at least seven Russians — including the son of a close associate of President Vladimir Putin — were detained in recent weeks for flying drones or taking pictures near sensitive areas, prompting an investigation by the domestic intelligence service.

Norway and other countries are moving to secure critical infrastructure in the wake of the sabotage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines. Since then, drone sightings have been reported in Norway’s vast offshore oil and gas fields and at Norwegian airports.

On Wednesday, Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Store, blamed “foreign intelligence” — and indirectly pointed a finger at Russia. “It is not acceptable that foreign intelligence is flying drones over Norwegian airports. Russians are not allowed to fly drones in Norway,” he said, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

Why is Norway not releasing the pipeline sabotage findings?

Russians never owned the pipeline they blew up. Russia borrowed all the money to acquire their 51% share of the NS2 pipe. Borrowed from Swiss and other European banks.

How much of these loans did Russkies pay back? Zero or minimal. I say zero because Nord Stream 2 never opened up. The Germans never signed off on the permits needed.

“It is not acceptable that foreign intelligence is flying drones over Norwegian airports. Russians are not allowed to fly drones in Norway. If this keeps up we will be forced to issue a very stern letter. Not that we want to do such a thing.”

So many putinistas are simple minded.

They don’t understand we can be against all three socialists: Putin, Zelensky, and Biden.

These drone sightings have continued in (this) October. Pooty’s goal must be to get all of NATO & the EU to go to 5% of GDP defense spending.

Let me point out to you, y'all started this on FR. Go back to Feb to the first threads and you will see that the whole 'putin puffer' was y'alls doing. So no, many of US don't give one wit about your denials or your whining. You support their policies therefor you support them, Bidenista. Embrace the suck little r democrats.

Who the hell are you talking about and calling you? Try doing your own research on my positions before calling names.
