Ukrainian military officer coordinated Nord Stream pipeline attack
The Washington Post via MSN ^ | Nov 11, 2023 | Shane Harris, Isabelle Khurshudyan

A senior Ukrainian military officer with deep ties to the country’s intelligence services played a central role in the bombing of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines last year, according to officials in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe, as well as other people knowledgeable about the details of the covert operation.

The officer’s role provides the most direct evidence to date tying Ukraine’s military and security leadership to a controversial act of sabotage that has spawned multiple criminal investigations and that U.S. and Western officials have called a dangerous attack on Europe’s energy infrastructure.

Roman Chervinsky, a decorated 48-year-old colonel who served in Ukraine’s special operations forces, was the “coordinator” of the Nord Stream operation, people familiar with his role said, managing logistics and support for a six-person team that rented a sailboat under false identities

The US gov’t certainly didn’t seem surprised nor shocked by the event.

This only proves that evidence to the contrary is about to implicate the CIA / State Dept. to this act of war.

Washington Post = CIA

That sounds like a plot from a really bad spy movie.

The loose ends are being tied up now that the end is near for the Ukrainian regime. Blame needs to be assigned before the "peace negotiations" begin.

"Roman Chervinsky, a decorated 48-year-old colonel who served in Ukraine’s special operations forces, was the “coordinator” of the Nord Stream operation, people familiar with his role said, managing logistics and support for a six-person team that rented a sailboat under false identities."

This "super team" is a distraction. The real perpetrators were trained professionals employed by a government with almost unlimited resources.. These guys didn't have the resources to accomplish the job.

Remember, the CIA. Brits and Norwegians had nothing to do with it. It was Ukrainians in a rented motorboat.
And that is why minutes later, the Brit’s prime minister called messaged DC saying it’s done. And it’s also why the blast was the day before Norway opened a new pipeline.

Laughable cover story. Ukes in a rented motorboat.

Funny how we have folks in the US talk about mis and dis information... and then you have crap like this.

This is an obvious attempt at obfuscating things.

Everyone knows who did it and them trying to play these games isn’t helping because their stories are so outlandish and unbelievable that you’d have to be an idiot to fall for them.

I would recommend that our side just stays quiet and lets this become forgotten. The more we try to lie and create stories trying to draw the attention away from ourselves, the more we keep the issue in the news and public’s eye.

Just let it die!


The (((ONLY))) one with motive, ability, and balls to pull this off, is us.

No one else, period.

This pipeline has been an itch on our @ss for years and we wanted it gone. A nation like Ukraine isn’t going to take this sort of action and piss off the Germans from who they want EU membership, receive money, weapons and training. It is doubtful if Ukraine could have even pulled it off, whereas we were at the right place and time (NATO naval exercises prior to this event almost on top of this pipeline) and have the personnel and technical capabilities to do this (UDT’s or whatever we call them today).

I was yelled at by my Kook Leftist mom who watches MSNBC all day for saying it makes no logical sense why Putin would destroy his own pipeline when if he wanted to stop providing gas to the region he could just turn it off instead of blowing it up.

Leftism is a secular cult and the cognitive dissonance it takes must be exhausting because my mom is so negative now at age 77 when she should be enjoying her golden years.

The DC Globohomo Regime is now leaking to the Post that Ukraine is to blame for the pipeline bombing.

Preparation to cut Ukraine lose, and end support.

I told you they were just using Ukraine, and would eventually betray them, and give them nothing.

No doubt.

Germany's plan was to replace Ukraine as the Grifting Transit Fee collecting Middleman, and control Russian Nat Gas to surrounding EU Nations, enforcing GERMAN energy policy.

It was all so Nazi like.

Uke Nazis couldn't put up with OTHER Nazis running things, and the US was glad to "help".

What does the National Enquirer say?

NatEnq

Like Dwayne Johnson used to say when he was most entertaining:"It DOESN'T MATTER what you think on the Rock's time."

I expect far better excuses from our third party black operators considering the amount of money we're paying them. This sorry excuse of usurpers can't hold credibility with legitimate responsibilities so why do we expect their mercenaries to hold a higher standard?

Ukraine bombed the Nord Stream, the Biden administration canceled the EastMed pipeline that would have provided Europe with natural gas from Israel.

So who stands to profit from these two events? Burisma
