Just get on the line to the Uke masterminds who blew Nordstream. They have experience planting explosives on the sea bed in deep water. This is so simple if you just have faith in the big guy.

>> Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley said... “It probably sank to some significant depths”

PROBABLY??!? You don’t KNOW, you rainbow-woke-faggotloving a-hole? PROBABLY???

Our command level military is a joke. We the people are in grave danger because of their malevolence and incompetence.

“It was a weather research drone that went off course,” said Pentagon spokesman Pary Gowers.

I have heard the US wanted Romania to get to the wreckage first but that Russia already has the wreckage. It was closer to Crimea.

They don’t have a GPS transponder?

Isn’t that common sense?

The first report was it was damaged in flight and they put it down. Now it crashed and sank.

It was a spy drone and we don’t really know if it was totally flying over International Waters. Ask that U-2 Pilot how it works...what was his name...Gary Powers.

It supposedly sank to a depth of 1,500 meters.

The Ukrainians did not blow up the Russian natural gas pipelines - it was America. Full stop.
How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream
“Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.”

Even the Russians themselves admit it was in international air space. Anatoly Antonov, Russia's ambassador to Washington, claimed the US drone had “deliberately and provocatively” approached Moscow's airspace.

Oh, no doubt, when the Russians finish their ‘investigation’ of the site, they might let NATO have a peak.

“Pentagon spokesman Pary Gowers.”

Now THAT is an interesting name.

My understanding is that the drone was in a No-Fly Zone, and did not have AUTHORIZATION to enter. Therefore, it was fair game.

Grave danger? Is there another kind. Frankly given the state of our general officers I’d rather have jack Nickelson as chief of staff.

Russia doesn't have any deep-dive or deep-submersible capability

they can try dragging the bottom, but that's about all they'll be able to do
