WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

There was no evidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials, the newspaper reported, citing U.S. officials.

Interesting that the Baltic pipeline, which originates in Norway, went on line the very next day.

Us officials say they didn’t do it. And if you don’t believe them just ask them because they never lie and they always tell the truth

Any public pronouncements from us intelligence bureaus are always an exercise in circular logic

It’s an awful lot like an alcoholic in law I have. Same reasoning. She states a lie and then because she heard her voice say it it must be true. Ipso facto if it’s true she wasn’t lying when she said it. And so on and so on and so

Exactly. NYT is running interference for the WH. But the entire world knows the US blew up the pipelines. NYT is the propaganda for the fascist regime

So why did they only blow up half it?

...

I haven’t read of anything claiming it, but it’s a good guess that the explosives on the one remaining pipeline of Nord Stream One didn’t detonate and have been removed. And yes, potentially it is available for transport. It is also possible that it was not targeted for unknown reasons.

A potential carrot for the Russians or an emergency backup for the Germans?

Never mind that the US Navy was parked over on top of the explosion sites, and US navy planes were circling above for 4 days before the explosions. Good Grief why do they continue to lie to the American people and the world.

So long as the Nord Stream pipelines were unmolested yet still intact, their very presence was a means of leverage for Russia to use against Germany. After all, you had rising protests in the days leading up to the actual sabotage last September. Enough public pressure for cheap Russian energy to mitigate the damage already done to Germany's economy might have made Germany more willing to take a softer line against Russia.

Without Nord Stream, Russia does not have that leverage, and Germany had no choice but to go elsewhere for its energy. This decision has only metastasized in the months since.

Your link doesn't even help your case: if no one's willing to take Russia's gas via those pipelines, why spend the capital to repair them? And given the fact they had already been sabotaged before, the only way such a capital investment would be feasible is if security guarantees were included. Would the European nations trust Russian vessels hovering in their waters to protect the pipelines? No. Would Russia trust NATO vessels to protect the pipelines? No.

And so it goes.

Sorry. Any story that begins with “US Intelligence Suggests...” by now has ZERO credibility.

"U.S. officials declined to disclose the nature of the intelligence, how it was obtained or any details of the strength of the evidence it contains. They have said that there are no firm conclusions about it," it added, citing the unnamed officials.

Now that's pretty funny. War Vampire neocons all over it.

Zelensky is being shown the underside of the bus. This paves the way for a purge after Bakmut ond possibly Sevirsk and Liman fall plus installation of new military "leadership" very. Very familiar with NATO tactics and equipment.
