Polish leader urges Nord Stream patrons to 'keep quiet' as pipeline mystery returns to spotlight
ABC News ^ | Aug 17, 2024 | The Associated Press

Posted on 08/17/2024 2:18:46 PM PDT by McGruff

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Saturday reacted to reports that revived questions about who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022, saying the initiators of the gas pipeline project should “apologize and keep quiet." That comment came after one of his deputies denied a claim that Warsaw was partly responsible for its damage.

Germany was a partner with Russia in the pipeline project. Poland has long said its own security interests have been harmed by Nord Stream.

“To all the initiators and patrons of Nord Stream 1 and 2. The only thing you should do today about it is apologise and keep quiet,” Tusk wrote on the social media portal X Saturday.

Tusk appeared to be reacting specifically to a claim by a former head of Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, BND, August Hanning, who told the German daily Die Welt that the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipelines must have had Poland’s support. Hanning said Germany should consider seeking compensation from Poland and Ukraine.

Apparently, the old saw “Dumb Pollack” still describes some of the population.

Legitimate target of War ... good riddance

Oh well

Apologize? That means you did something wrong.

I’ve been told by reliable sources that Putin will either be swinging from a lamp post or dead from cancer by no later than summer of 2022!

Slava Ukraina and get your COVID booster!

It’s funny that this story is coming up again in the same news cycle announcing Germany will no longer budget for any aid to UKR’s military.

Now that Germany is going broke, they suddenly woke up to what their ‘allies’ and neighbors did to them.

Actually, when I posted my comment I hadn’t noticed that the Dumb Pollack in question was Tusk, the Century’s crowing example of a Dumb Pollack Traitor and Collaborator.

The rift in Europe is real.

And it’s a rift in NATO too.

Not to worry, Germany says they’ll replace the funding with seized Russian assets

So it’s still all good

As usual, you are oblivious to the story.

Ukraine bombed the pipeline causing 10s of billions in economic damage in Germany.

Germany has split from Ukraine...and likely Poland too. Germany cut off Ukraine today from all further military assistance.

Why would you lie about that?

Not lying, just stating facts
