A new BBC report has pointed to ‘evidence’ in a documentary that Russian navy ships were stationed near the site of the blast that destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline three months before it happened, in a clear insinuation that it was Russia that blew up its own pipeline.
The report states that “Russian ships able to perform underwater operations were present near to where explosions later took place on the Nord Stream pipelines, according to an investigative documentary.”
“The vessels were reportedly located using intercepted Russian navy communications,” it adds.
The BBC says that the “suspicious Russian ship movements in the run-up to the Nord Stream blasts,” were reported by four Nordic public broadcasters and an accompanying English-language podcast Cold Front.
It also claims that “Denmark’s Defence Command has confirmed a separate report that a Danish patrol boat called Nymfen took 26 photos of a Russian submarine-rescue ship in the area days before the explosions.”

The claim that Russia would purposefully sabotage it’s own pipeline fly in the face of reason, given that the country was profiting massively from the supply of natural gas to almost the entirely of Europe, and in turn ensuring a relatively harmonious relationship with those countries.
The claims also come following revelations by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh concerning indications that the U.S. was directly involved in the destruction of the pipeline.
Earlier this year, Hersh published a report asserting that the pipelines were destroyed by the U.S. as part of a covert operation which was organised with the aid of the Norwegian government, Norwegian Secret Service and Navy.
According to Hersh’s sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy.
Hersh also claimed that Joe Biden made the decision to destroy Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines because because he was unhappy with the level of support provided by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, and he saw being a war president as giving him a better chance at re-election.

The assertion dovetails with that of a former Pentagon advisor who said the most likely culprits behind the Nord Stream pipeline blasts are the United States and Britain, and that the attack was carried out to prevent Germany from bailing on the war in Ukraine.

According to a report by German magazine Der Spiegel, the CIA warned Berlin about a potential attack on gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea weeks before the explosions.
Hersh was swiftly labelled a ‘dangerous conspiracy theorist’ by the legacy media and censored by big tech.

That’s just plain dumb.
I’ll go with the analysis provided by Monkey Werx, thank you very much.
The Biden regime and British are lying to their own citizens and the world.
It is from the BBC... the snottier version of PBS. What do you expect?
Dumb is being charitable. It’s much worse, they know Russia didn’t blow up their own pipeline
That is some serious 4d chess.
So it's nice to have the confirmation from that Hersh fellow that the US is responsible for the Nordstream attacks, but it was already obvious to anyone willing to do a little sleuthing of their own. These pathetic propaganda efforts to claim Russia cut off their own income and diplomatic leverage by destroying the pipelines remain utterly stupid and senseless.
except we have data and pictures of US ships and planes in the area. So funny, they are doing everything they can to avoid the fact the US blew the pipeline
Correction: the correct spelling of the ship responsible is USS Kearsarge.
I suppose anything is possible but pretty unlikely. Just because someone thinks America blew up the pipeline doesn’t automatically mean they support Putin.
You believe everything you are told?
State-funded News says what?
> it was Russia that blew up its own pipeline <
This claim is just as ridiculous as saying the Japanese planes that bombed Pearl Harbor were actually American planes in disguise.
But I guess some people will believe anything, for their own reasons.
The latest from the MI6 mouthpiece.
Sux months ago, the narrative shills would pile on to correct you. But some have faded, realizing their “handle” has zero credibility, for some, the checks have probably stopped. Some are busy creating new handles.
“This claim is just as ridiculous as saying the Japanese planes that bombed Pearl Harbor were actually American planes in disguise.”
They weren’t? But Art Bell proved it.
this is just as believable as Hersh’s book
lots of circumstantial evidence on both sides ... of course, only the Russians shills & apologists can’t see that
