Russian Sabotage Of The Nord Stream Pipeline Marks A Point Of No Return
Forbes ^

Posted on 09/29/2022 8:02:53 AM PDT by MNDude

However, the attacks on Nord Stream are more dire than anything we previously saw. This act of sabotage signals a point of no return. The economic damage caused by these attacks is going to land Europe in a recession as deep as the recession of 2009. The environmental damage is immense, with millions of tons of methane polluting the ocean and environment.

This winter, Europe is doomed to face the worst energy crisis since the Arab oil embargo of 1974, or worse.

European leaders have already identified and condemned Russia as the obvious culprit. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki described the presumed attack as the “next step of escalation of the situation in Ukraine” while the Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen called them “deliberate acts”. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen promised “the strongest possible response to attacks on European energy infrastructure”. Norway responded by deploying its armed forces to guard pipelines from any further “accidents”.

Putin may well be nuts. But he isn’t Colonel Flagg (M*A*S*H) - who would break his own arm to show you how tough he is.

That pipeline was leverage for him.

They are all pushing the same improbable narrative. Quite brazen of them.

Thank you, Joe Biden, for the icicles in the bedroom.

Please keep your pipeline-busting ways to yourself.

BIDEN: "If Russia invades Ukraine there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring end to it"

“.....We support the investigations underway to determine the origin of the damage, it said....”

“NATO vows determined response to ‘deliberate, reckless’ sabotage of Nord Stream”

What absolute nonsense

Note quiet from Biden admin instead leaving the propaganda to the captured media

Putin had zero gain from destroying his golden goose and point of leverage

He could simply shut it

Many in the west already threatened thus including Biden

The idiocy on this forum is an everlasting fountain

And the hypocrisy

“People should learn from Jessie Smollet to Ray Epps, democrats do bad things and then blame it on other people.”

Quite right.

Both sides had some motives to do this act of sabotage, and I feel certain that within days both sides will be blaming the other. This will just keep most people in their narrative comfort zones and not change many opinions.

Maybe it was Zelensky with the assistance of Aqua Man. I haven’t seen Craig Ferguson on TV for ages, he must have spare time for other missions.

No question. American ship in the region; CIA had already threatened to do this; even under Trump they had been obsessed with Nord Stream 2 which damages an ALLY, not Russia. Russia could have turned this off with a switch.

Now you have spoogenipples in UK talking about nuke war to “calm the crisis.” Seriously.

Yes I notice Forbes has gotten more nauseating the last few months. I already refuse to have anything to do with back stabbers at National Review. Add Forbes to that list?

If the US government and their propaganda organ aka the MSM repeat it enough then Putin in a mini-sub did the actual sabotage himself!

It makes no sense for the Russians to destroy these pipelines. If peace broke out tomorrow they would be there to turn back on the gas to Europe and the $ flowing into Russia’s bank accounts.

The Europeans getting antsy about freezing to death and flirting with a negotiate peace would upset Biden and the deep state’s arrogant regime change plans in Russia and this could not be allowed to happen. The outlier as to whom else might have pulled this off-China to get the US and it’s war happy crowd and Russia to eliminate one another and leave China the world without firing a shot.

Biden made it perfectly clear he would make sure the pipeline was terminated.

Yeah

You’re right

Putin is a great truth teller

We should all listen to him and follow him more closely /s

Well, we have a mystery on our hands, don't we? A crime, certainly...so when solving a crime, don't we first take a look at who actively threatened to commit it? That would be a fellow named Biden and his State Department representative named Nulan. Would Biden be rotten enough to interfere with a country's energy lifeline for politics? Have we forgotten the Keystone pipeline already? So what we have here is a suspect with both a threat and a past history, and his name isn't Putin.

The Keystone pipeline was easier. An EO took care of that pipe. An EO would not work with Nordstream. So if Biden (or other US actors) wanted to destroy it Watergate style, they would want to be careful. How did they overlook Sikorsky?
