Czech President Petr Pavel said that attacking the Nord Stream pipelines would have been a “legitimate” target for Ukraine amid reports pointing the finger at Kyiv for the sabotage.
Pavel, who previously served as NATO chairman and before that at the head of the Czech Armed Forces, said that while he has no information to confirm reports that the Zelensky-led government in Ukraine was behind the September 2022 assault on the Russo-German Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, such an attack would have been justifiable in light of the Russian invasion months prior.
Speaking to the online news magazine Novinky on Wednesday, the Czech president said: “When an armed conflict is waged, it is waged not only against military targets, but also against strategic targets. And pipelines are a strategic target. If the attack was aimed at cutting off gas and oil supplies to Europe and back money to Russia, then—and I say conditional on purpose—it would be a legitimate target.”

The Czechs are telling the dirty Germans to suck it up like bitches.
What happened to the “likely Russian”’talking point that was paraded by our CIA media folks incessantly?
How many people here at FR were gas lighting as bad as the MSM trying to sell that the russians blew up that pipeline? Even though it made zero sense......
“Says who???”
Petr Pavel Picked a peck of pipeline
Matt Bracken has an opinion.

I believe it was only the Zeepers.
And how would it not be a legitimate target?
Probably a lot of the same people who believed the "Trump-Russia collusion" hoax, which also made zero sense (because the Ruskies were already getting 'favors' from Hillary)...

Zeepers in March 2023: Nord Pipeline should be destroyed!
Zeepers in November 2023: Russia destroyed its own pipeline!
Zeepers today: The Nord Pipeline was a legitimate target for Ukraine!
If the Ukrainians really wanted to get nasty about it, they are perfectly entitled to destroy every single Russian pipeline they wish, and certainly those within their own country.
Hate to think who they’ll be voting for this November - probably whichever candidate the radio recommends, as they drive to the polling place...
Absolutely epic!

Makes you wonder how many of those contraptions could be out there as contingencies.
Was the dam a “legitimate target” too? Smh.
Sure. It’s like putting up a blockade of Germany - an act of war. Against Germany!
Ukraine did not blow it up. There are literally only a handful of countries in the world that could have done that, and Ukraine ain’t one of them. Also, I thought our Gov told us the Russians did it, lol.
I wasnt. From the beginning (in 2022) I said it was likely a Ukrainian operation, most likely Macguyver-style. It seems I was right, long before any MSM reporting along those lines.
I am now accepting praise....
