Sadly this post will Garner more attention than ones about how the January 6 protesters are being treated while being incarcerated.

What a crock. We did it. Russia will lose a ton of cash. No reason to blow it when they could slow it to a trickle and use it as a hostage.

These idiots here don’t care who suffers as long as they can hammer Putin.

Hey State Department kiddies: Nobody believes your propaganda any more. You’re fooling no one. Foolish children, playing with fire. Willing to light the world up. Yeah, we see you.

*spit*

And dems will get wrecked in 7 weeks.

Only one political leader has guaranteed that he would stop the pipeline...

When communist leaders make a threat, it stays active for many, many years...

Gulf of Tonkin redux?
Remember the Maine redux?

Tick...Tock... Biden runs up the nuclear clock...

“Why Putin would want to blow up Nord Stream 2, and the advantages it gives him”

The BIGGEST ‘advantage’ Putin gets by blowing it up is that he gets rid of his BEST NEGOTIATING CARD...so sure, he most certainly did it. Yeah, right.

Between Putin shelling a nuclear power plant that he occupies and this, the West is now dealing with SOVIET-LEVEL PROPAGANDA...and anyone here pushing this crap needs to go (and no, I don’t mind the stories being posted, otherwise we wouldn’t know how bad things now are).

It’s also time to end the exemption of the media to not be liable for the flat-out lies that they publish.

Can’t believe anything the MSM says, so who really knows what’s going on? Nobody. I would lean toward believing this is a deep state operation to escalate the war and keep the money flowing to the MIC at the expense of people’s lives. Probably some energy companies that stand to benefit from this as well. 10% for the big guy.

Blowing up the pipeline makes absolutely no sense when Russia can simply turn it off.

However,destroying Nordstream means that Germany and Europe have zero ability to negotiate with Russia directly and pursue a separate peace.

Europe seemingly has no choice but to do whatever Washington tells them to.

[Sam Gamgee]

Is this the first time the writer noticed that Putin is former KGB? Conservatives have been making that point for the last 20 years about Putin but Democrats didn’t seem to care then.

[dead]

There was literally no reason for Putin to blow up the pipeline. He controlled it at its source and it gave him tremendous leverage and would give him even more when Germans start freezing to death. So Putin definitely didn't do it, I wonder if anybody knows who did...

[escapefromboston]

Illegal invasion ? Do you normally need a license to invade another country ?

[RetiredTexasVet]

All of the Marxist State Muppets are spinning madly...

[dforest]

Tired of Brit and American media liars. Russia didn’t sabotage their own pipeline.

[PGR88]

This is as stupid as someone saying in WWII, the USA would drop an atom bomb on Hawaii - as a warning to Japan

Biden: “There will no longer be a Nord Stream 2.”

[Stepan12]

Where are all these stupid posts coming from? All these posts are trying to draw attention away from President Uncle Ernie. Biden probably blew up the pipeline and will try to usher in World War III or IIII.

[Lockbox]

I can’t believe this paper, so let me get this correct! Next week Putin will cut off his nose to spite his face? All Putin had to do was close the valve, now the pipeline needs a slow repair. Only a fool would blow up their pipeline to pressure their customers.....

[virgil]

Conspiracy theory is all this is.

[McGruff]

The Brits are all in unison on blaming the Russians. Makes me suspicious.

[Seruzawa]

Well. Now we know MI6s opinion.

[Paul R.]

the new government in Italy looks certain to be less hawkish than the last.

I'd say the author hasn't been listening to soon to be PM Meloni.

[RFEngineer]

The evidence points to us.

We have Biden saying he’d do it.

We have Europe not wanting to freeze to death over the winter.

If part of Europe buys Russian gas, the EU is done. Nato is done.

So who did it? We did it.

We did it to keep Europe on the reservation, and to keep the filthy lucre flowing out of Ukraine to our politicians who launder taxpayer money for their own benefit.

"Why Putin would want to blow up Nord Stream 2, and the advantages it gives him

Perhaps by falsely accusing an adversary he would use its disablement as justification for doing the same to an alternative source of European energy.
