Without the now-exploded Nord Stream gas pipelines, Europeans fear “a winter of de-industrialization.” As US planners have long sought, the White House sees a “tremendous strategic opportunity.”
Hi, I've just seen a video published on "The Sun" youtube channel which allegedly shows a mutinous platoon of Russian soldiers. Any chance anyone has some more details about this? I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm inclined to think shenanigans are afoot.
Hi. Yes, based on The Sun's reputation, absolute BS. No argument there.
As far as I was able to determine, that particular video was allegedly depicting a platoon of soldiers from the Siberian region known as Tuva. In the video, the Tuvan language is spoken. I have contacted a translation firm (one of the very few who do translate Tuvan) to see if I could pay them for an accurate translation of what the people are actually saying in the video. Their director replied to my email, stating that "they're not the right fit for this project". Make of that what you will.
I still don’t understand how destroying it benefits Putin. Germany is teetering on the edge of dumping the sanctions and it’s not even winter yet. Having the pipeline as an option to save German citizens helps Germany and Putin. Destroying it hurts both.
Thank you very much. It is never explained WHY such pathological hate of democratic capitalist Russia and total support of Nazi-dominated Ukraine government !!
Roots for this propaganda predate the Russia-gate FBI-DNC hoax and FBI 2020 election theft.
Stand with Russia – it fights for all of us against bipartisan fascist US/UK warmongering clique.
Jacob Dreizin – Oct. 13 – Racism and anti-Semitism in Ukraine
I will be simple in my reasoning: NATO and the US want to plunder Russia for its vast reserves of mineral wealth. There can be no other reasonable explanation for why anyone or any nation would risk nuclear annihilation. “Follow the money.”
Newbie here. 78 year old disabled Vet 1961-1965. I have been waiting for something like this come along for a very long time. Here is where I awakened to how news should be presented to the world.
No sound bites...full stories with source origins and I get to read a real news story from beginning to current status/or end. Enjoyed reading the story and the comments. Thanks.
Aaron, wasn’t that RAND report debunked???? I am hoping you will respond to this as if it was it calls into question your entire reporting here. I am hoping you can confirm it has not or you admit that it was but have enough info to substantiate your claims.
Whew. Thank goodness. You scared me for a minute. It is hard to find people you trust to give you information so you become skittish about all information. Your willingness to let me know is appreciated. From one Canadian who lives in Europe to another Canadian who lives in the US. Thanks for the note.
Biden, Blinken, Nuland, and Sullivan surely make for the most reckless foreign policy team in modern US history. Provoking the proxy war in Ukraine, attempting to provoke China over Taiwan, and now committing an act of war, not just against Russia but also Germany, by sabotaging the pipelines may be one of the most reckless acts in modern history. This all but guarantees depression and the eventual de-industrialization in Germany and much of Europe.
One has to wonder when the European NATO allies will wake up and realize that the US is a far greater threat to them than Russia.
the straussian wolfowitz doctrine has been long in the making and is seeing it through with this brazen act of economic and environmental terror. this writing has been on the wall and will be implemented under the so-called green energy bill that requires fossil fuel permits 🙄
the laundering of extraction to extinction will continue at all cost for profits.
and look forward to seeing new LNG infrastructure that U.S. citizens have been fighting against for years in your backyard soon.
Let’s see: renege on promises and platforms ... scuttle peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in March ... create an armaments “free-for-all” in Afghanistan... create a monstrosity of an ecological catastrophe by blowing up a pipeline to warm Europe ... but “orange man, bad” is the Leftist rallying call -- right, lunatics?
“Opposing” NS-2 is politics ... blowing up another nations’ assets is an act of war. Had the US been able to blame it on “Muslim extremists”, it would have been front page news labeled as a “terrorist act.”
I’m sorry, but this crap has made me re-evaluate the entire US position of “anti-terrorism.” The State Department, DoD, and even Health and Human Services are all beholden to the Deep State. Trump has never been more right than now. The Military Industrial Complex is itching for war.
If anyone doesn’t see it, then they are willfully blind.
“Putin blew up the pipeline ... <snip>” Well, anyone listening to Biden’s bombastic comments in February of this year would differ (wildly) with your assessment.
Biden in all his “glorious and demented ass hatness” - intentionally or otherwise - has done more to expose the military industrial complex/Deep State than Trump ever could.
“Pressure drops were reported at both the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines running underneath the Baltic Sea on September 26. Three separate leaks were recorded off the coasts of Denmark and Sweden, a few dozen kilometers apart. Both lines of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were impacted, along with one line of Nord Stream 2. Reports from seismologists based in Denmark and Sweden suggest that sizeable explosions on the order of 100 kilograms of TNT occurred in both incidents.”
At this point it is clear you are woefully ill-prepared to debate the issue and uninformed on the surrounding facts.
In her video of 2014, when the US started ramping up sanctions on Russia (see link), Condoleezza Rice explains that "Russia will run out of cash before the Europeans run out of energy". She was replying to a journalist's question about German exposure to Russian energy and on how much Russia depends on FX to finance its military. Could it be that she is misreading of the situation? Apparently she does not realize that Russia has a sovereign currency and therefore will never "run out of cash", no matter how much of its foreign trade is done in dollars. Of course Russian FX reserves can be "blocked", as they have been by the USA's "Shock and Awe Sanctions". But Russia does not depend on those reserves for its military, nor will they ever run out of energy, since they have essentially unlimited amounts of both. On the other hand, US ally Germany will run out of both cash and energy if it cannot replace Russian gas. Germany has a structural problem with energy. Did blowing up the pipeline make the problem a lot worse?
Under tremendous pressure to prove that he wasn't a Russian agent, it appears that Trump buckled to the deep state to show how tough he was against Putin, thus slowing down and preventing NS2 from opening on his watch. He also allowed more offensive weapons to be shipped to Ukraine while Obama refused to. Apparently, Trump thought that his actions might win him some support from the rats who hate him. Obviously, he was mistaken. It just got him impeached over a phone call. Still, I don't think we'd be on the precipice of the abyss if Trump had won a second term, though that's pure speculation. We really needed the re-incarnation of JFK rather that the (s)election of the current WH corpse. BTW, I think that Biden was not consulted on the bombing. As many other gaffes have demonstrated, he cannot be trusted by his handlers to stick to the script.
Ron Unz and Jeffrey Sachs have developed plausible theories that it was the US, at the military games in China in 2019, that spread the Covid bio-weapon to the Chinese people. But, once unleashed, it got out of control and came back to bite the US and rest of the world. As for OBL, there never was any proof that he had anything to do with 9/11.
Once victoria nudelman is waterboarded, all will be revealed to the clueless goyim. Its all about reviving their khazar kingdom, one day not only the benderas but even the dumb poles will thank Putin for putting a stop to that evil dream. As is usual with chosen khazar intrigue, millions of goyim cattle paying the price.
Thank you for your clarity and thorough reporting. When Victoria Neuland was caught saying "fuck the EU" apparently that was state department policy in general.
If proven, this USA blowing up of NS2 and NS1 is an act of war both against Germany and Russia. We already know that US or other LNG cannot replace Russian gas within the next 2-3 years. Germany's and Eruope's large manufacturers will move to their Chinese or non-Europe subsidiaries (Volkswagen announced this as a first). Secondary manufacturing will follow - Hakl, the toilet paper manufacturer, filed for bankruptcy. Artisan bakers in Belgium and France are reducing their output to one daily baking cycle - the second cycle was their profit. Ice cream companies in Italy and Belgium are facing triple to six times higher energy bills, questioning viability. Both at the mega-level (industrial) and the small enterprise level, Europe will be in severe crisis. This is more severe and more significant than the 'cold winter'.
It is not the one factor that will define the outcome. The Russian victory; the American inability to supply; the increasing evidence of American malfeasence, the continued eroding of EU currency as well as the US stock market and eventually the US dollar - whether suddenly coming together or slowly grinding together, it will be a huge change in who runs the world - and that will no longer be the West.
Lots of German and European companies are shutting down. A traditional porcelain manufacturer, several breweries, bakeries, etc... To the US, this is collateral damage, even if it wasn't the aim.
Kilimnik, trained spy, was only able to get inside the GOP because McCain was distracted and an intellectual lightweight at running his own Ukraine project.
Deceit goes hand in glove with violence and ill intent. This has corporate USAs hands written all over it. It is a criminal act by a criminal government.

It’s amazing to me how two weeks after the attack this news has disappeared completely in the US. It’s definitely not a Remember the Alamo moment.
That in itself I think helps explain who did this.
I still don’t understand how destroying it benefits Putin. Germany is teetering on the edge of dumping the sanctions and it’s not even winter yet. Having the pipeline as an option to save German citizens helps Germany and Putin. Destroying it hurts both.

About strange nude man attack on Pelosi: Paul Pelosi was most likely attacked by a male prostitute
An unavoidable conclusion about Paul Pelosi
1. Assailant in his underpants
2. Paul Pelosi knows his name and tells police he’s a “friend.”
3. Assailant asks “where’s Nancy?” to make sure she’s not home.
4. Pelosi takes bathroom break from spat and makes 911 call
Conclusion: This guy was a sex partner or male prostitute!

Wow...I thought that Sikorsky tweet was sarcastic. Nope, he was genuinely thanking the US. Clown world.
you have to wonder, can anne save his head after that blunder??
It’s part of the slow reveal so in five years they can pretend they were telling it outright the whole time.

Correct. Sanctions on the US would never work, anymore than they can work on Russia.

Impeached over a phone call with Zelensky trying to figure out what the hell has been going on in the Ukraine. The irony.
