Nord Stream mystery: the tanker Minerva Julie spent 7 days idling near the attack site
Business Insider via Yahoo ^ | March 11th, 2023 | Mattathias Schwartz

The question of who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines is likely to remain an unsolved mystery for some time.

Even as new details surface from European investigators, one of the most intriguing clues to recently emerge comes not from official probes but via a 29-year-old open-source analyst based in Denmark. Oliver Alexander spent months analyzing data from the maritime Automatic Identification System, or AIS, from vessels that passed near the site of three out of the four pipeline ruptures shortly before the damage. He noticed that the Minerva Julie, a 600-foot Greek-flagged tanker, was headed east from Rotterdam when, on September 6, it came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

The Minerva Julie stayed there, alternately idling and crossing a roughly 200-square-nautical-mile area above the two natural-gas pipelines, for seven days, from September 6 until September 12. From there, the Julie traveled on to Tallinn, Estonia before anchoring at Saint Petersburg, Russia on September 18. Then, on September 26, the two pipelines burst.

another classic brandon blurb of the truth.

iirc, there was another time he said something to the effect of “we don’t need your votes.....”

Exacctly! I’d say it likely delivered the team and gear that was used to set up the explosions back to Russia.

“The Russian armed forces can’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag and they can’t use nukes or they’ll get nuked in return. “

If you think that would dissuade Russia...or the USA for that matter...from using tactical nukes you are insane.

ANY//ALL nukes powers facing a major battlefield defeat would use nukes.

100% of the time, in all scenarios.

I agree. There is no way this was given a green light by chomo Joe if not directly ordered by the chomo himself.

...or his handlers but that goes without saying.

Russia School of Agitprop paid some of its Earth First panic attackers.

Russia did it to smear Poland.

Russia did it to remove a bargaining chip from peace talk consideration.

George Soros did it to cause unrest.

Iran did it to prove to Moscow, that Iran is determined to “help” the Axis of Terrorism.

A bunch of gun owners did it, when the lost their assault rifles and ammo cans overboard during a Baltic Sea fishing marathon.

Hillary Clinton did it, because nobody will believe that she actually did it.

Joe Biden did it, but said, “I only said ‘Do it!’ in jest, while off-camera!”

Viking re-enactors did it.

Chinese balloon payloads.

Some old WW-II undersea mines will inevitably react.

Thing is, Scholz was standing right beside him (Biden) when Biden said that, so the “we” almost certainly would have applied to the US and Germany. The entire context of what both men said was about cooperation and joint measures.
