US had intelligence of Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline - Washington Post

WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - The United States had intelligence of a detailed Ukrainian plan to attack the Nord Stream pipeline three months before it was bombed, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing leaked information posted online.

The CIA learned last June, through a European spy agency, that a six-person team of Ukrainian special operations forces intended to blow up the Russia-to-Germany natural gas project, the newspaper reported.

The European intelligence reporting was shared on chat platform Discord, allegedly by Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira, who was recently charged in relation to the leak of sensitive U.S. documents. The Washington Post said it got a copy from one of Teixeira's online friends.

The intelligence report was based on information obtained from an individual in Ukraine, the Washington Post said, adding the CIA shared the report with Germany and other European countries last June.

The specific details included numbers of operatives and methods of attack, according to the Washington Post. It would mean that for nearly a year, Western allies had a basis to suspect Kyiv in the sabotage.

If PDJT was President, the headline would read “Trump Knew Of, Encouraged Ukrainian Plan to Attack Nord Stream Pipeline.”

#1: "NATO should invoke Article 5 against Ukraine and join Russia in partitioning the country and dismantling the current regime."

Excellent idea. 80 years after the end of WWII and Ukraine is still a haven for Nazi
acolytes.It is a haven for grift and corruption. Is it any wonder why out of all the
countries in the world, Ukraine is where Biden and Son decided to setup business?

It make just perfect sense to harm Germany and concurrently beg them for support. /s Ukraine and Russia are both corrupt. Any nation helping the corrupt further corrupts itself.

There are STILL ZERO American interests in Ukraine.

“US had intelligence of Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline”

Yeah, right, sure they did. We all know the US Navy destroyed the Nord Stream Pipeline.

Of course Biden saying he would destroy the Nordstream lines a year before it happened, has no bearing? Seymore Hirsch nailed it.

Do you think Ukraine has more grift and corruption than the US? Asking for a friend.

” Ukraine Special Operations “ ?

Isn’t that the unit that siphons U.S. funds into the bank accounts of Ukrainian elites ?

Or, is that the highly trained Ukrainian Navy Seals, with expert undersea explosive expertise ?

If the Washington Post received news that the United States was to be attacked, do you believe it would publish the news in advance of the attack?

Zelensky's plan was to have the US Navy blow up the Nord Stream Pipelines. Zelensky is about to be blamed for everything and thrown under the bus. The Biden administration believes that shifting the blame for this latest fiasco to their puppet regime will somehow help Biden stay in office.

If you ever wondered what CIA propaganda looks like, this is it. Dazzling example. Thanks.

It certainly makes a quandary. If true, then Article V needs to be invoked. If that gets pushed, then its the story of Trump in his Russian built mini sub.
