Make it US policy to donate 1x ATACMs for every Russian missile fired into Ukrainian civilian areas. Its pretty perfect. Discourages Russia from attacking cities / civis, and provides solid political cover for Washington. Alas... |

The trail emerged after traces of DNA were found on the boat that would correspond to those of the young man. According to the latest reconstructions, at the end of September a sailboat sailed on the Baltic Sea in the middle of the night, heading towards Denmark. She had departed from the German island of Ruegen, not far from the Polish border, with six men on board. The boat is called Andromeda, a few hours after its departure the Danish seismographs detect the tremors: they are the result of explosions that damaged the gas pipeline that directly connected Russia to Germany. It will only be discovered later that two of those six men were divers with fake passports and that they spoke to each other in Polish and Czech: they are probably the ones who dived into the waters with explosives in their hands, placing it on the pipes carrying the gas. That boat is rented by a Polish company registered to a 55-year-old woman from Kiev and traces of explosives and DNA of a man were found on board. The search is focusing mainly on a 26-year-old Ukrainian soldier who allegedly used a fake Romanian passport to identify himself in Germany. Investigators searched his ex-partner's apartment in Frankfurt (Oder) in late May and allegedly took evidence of his son's DNA to compare it with those found on the yacht. Evidence that, evidently, has highlighted a match. The woman handed over the mobile phone to the men of the prosecutor's office and would be cooperating. There are other elements that seem to link the attack with Ukraine. In August 2022, the request to moor a boat in Ruegen would have come from a fake Polish travel agency, Feeria Lwowa. But it is an empty box with a president: a 55-year-old woman from Kiev. The metadata of the company's unique email address also leads to Ukraine. To the Süddeutsche Zeitung the woman admitted to being the president of Feeria Lwowa, without saying anything else. However, the track of the "false flag", of evidence intentionally placed to incriminate the Ukrainians, is also not excluded. It is no coincidence that the head of the BND internal secret services, Bruno Kahl, declared that there is still no single version: "No country in the world, no secret service in the world is currently able to understand concretely to whom to attribute it". The 26-year-old soldier who was allegedly part of the crew of the Andromeda, for example, has been in the Ukraine since the beginning of the war, according to relatives interviewed by newspapers. Someone may have appropriated his identity. The tracks are increasing, but in truth it will still take time. https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2023/06/03/sabotaggio-del-nord-stream-si-indaga-su-un-26enne-ucraino-decisiva-la-prova-del-dna-ritrovato-sullimbarcazione-usata-per-lattacco/7182147/ View Quote Nice.

Originally Posted By Prime: Russian TG “13th” Literally just now Yevgeny Prigozhin said that Wagner is ready to protect the inhabitants of the Belgorod region if some other structure cannot cope with these functions. Meanwhile, the authorities of the Belgorod region began to calculate the economic damage after massive shelling. In Shebekino alone, the restoration of 10 enterprises will require 13 billion rubles (https://t.me/rusbrief/122676). The situation, to put it mildly, causes concern (what a pirouette of fate - earlier the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern about foreign policy affairs, but now the concern is already inside, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing to do with "inside"). The Belgorod region is not the most populated in the Russian Federation - 1.5 million people live. But this is one of the locomotives of the Russian economy. Belgorod, in which about 400 thousand people live, is called the meat capital of Russia. In general, the Belgorod agro-industrial complex ranks third in the country in terms of production volumes and first in terms of the use of arable land. Here, according to last year's data, 22% of pork, 15% of compound feed, 15% of condensed milk and other items of the total volume of the Russian Federation were produced. That's a LOT. The region accounts for more than 80% of rich iron ore reserves in the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly basin, or 40.5% of all explored reserves of these ores in Russia. The contribution of the Belgorod region to the all-Russian production of iron ore concentrate is almost 40%. Cast iron is subsequently made from this concentrate. As you may have guessed, Russia cannot afford to lose the Belgorod region. What will happen next? What are the prospects? What will happen to the enterprises in the regions? What about employees and their families? I don’t want to paint what is happening in black colors, but representatives of industrial enterprises of the Belgorod region do not come out with public statements and do not give a picture of what is happening from the inside. This leaves room for free interpretations of the situation. In addition, it is not very clear what kind of emergency assistance they need. I hope the government knows about it. Once again: almost a QUARTER of all pork is produced in the Belgorod region. One small region makes a huge contribution to the Russian economy and to the country's food security. But the most important thing is the people. Who will protect them? And when? https://t.me/Separ13_13/13783 The first militias of Donbass, I can give a brief collective image on the example of one situation. February 2015, before my eyes, two miners from Donetsk competed in who would be the first to get into the building of the "private bank" from a grenade launcher, for the reason that both had a loan in that bank, and it so happened that there are enemies there. It was in one of the episodes of the assault on Uglegorsk. That's where the real spirit of the proletariat was felt!🇷🇺🇷🇺 https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203719/IMG_3171-2839361.jpg https://t.me/Separ13_13/13801 https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203719/IMG_3133-2839364.jpg View Quote So the Legion of Free Russia ought to round up guys with mortgages at the local BPR banks and invite them to liberate them!

That mook Kazakov is one of the regular guests who is in dire need of a lead pipe party. He doesn’t add any meat to the discussion. Just liar liar liar! There’s context. He and this other dude whose name I forget, some retired general/current Duma member - their schtick is basically to say “it’s our right to rape, murder, steal, and destroy everything we want. What?” Basically the worst of the completely unrepentant Russian imperialists. |

Breaking news: Olaf Scholz's balls have been recovered! It was just as funny reading it the second time? |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By PolarBear416: Originally Posted By Prime: Italian Press Sabotage of Nord Stream, a 26-year-old Ukrainian is investigated: the DNA evidence found on the boat used for the attack is decisive A sailboat with divers and explosives on board. And one track: the Ukrainian one. According to press rumors circulated in the last 24 hours, German investigators are hunting for a 26-year-old Ukrainian who would be one of the main responsible for the sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, blown up last September. The trail emerged after traces of DNA were found on the boat that would correspond to those of the young man. According to the latest reconstructions, at the end of September a sailboat sailed on the Baltic Sea in the middle of the night, heading towards Denmark. She had departed from the German island of Ruegen, not far from the Polish border, with six men on board. The boat is called Andromeda, a few hours after its departure the Danish seismographs detect the tremors: they are the result of explosions that damaged the gas pipeline that directly connected Russia to Germany. It will only be discovered later that two of those six men were divers with fake passports and that they spoke to each other in Polish and Czech: they are probably the ones who dived into the waters with explosives in their hands, placing it on the pipes carrying the gas. That boat is rented by a Polish company registered to a 55-year-old woman from Kiev and traces of explosives and DNA of a man were found on board. The search is focusing mainly on a 26-year-old Ukrainian soldier who allegedly used a fake Romanian passport to identify himself in Germany. Investigators searched his ex-partner's apartment in Frankfurt (Oder) in late May and allegedly took evidence of his son's DNA to compare it with those found on the yacht. Evidence that, evidently, has highlighted a match. The woman handed over the mobile phone to the men of the prosecutor's office and would be cooperating. There are other elements that seem to link the attack with Ukraine. In August 2022, the request to moor a boat in Ruegen would have come from a fake Polish travel agency, Feeria Lwowa. But it is an empty box with a president: a 55-year-old woman from Kiev. The metadata of the company's unique email address also leads to Ukraine. To the Süddeutsche Zeitung the woman admitted to being the president of Feeria Lwowa, without saying anything else. However, the track of the "false flag", of evidence intentionally placed to incriminate the Ukrainians, is also not excluded. It is no coincidence that the head of the BND internal secret services, Bruno Kahl, declared that there is still no single version: "No country in the world, no secret service in the world is currently able to understand concretely to whom to attribute it".

So whoever did this was a professional with a support team and a lot of specialized kit. Exactly. Slow going down and very slow coming up unless you have an onboard decompression chamber. I never dove with mixed gas but that would be complicated. Most commercial deep dives have at least two men as tenders per diver. You don’t just roll off the side Lloyd Bridges style in trunks. Going to be very cold especially with mixed gas so you need hot water pumped down for heat. It might be possible but a sailboat is about the worst deck layout for an industrial dive. I much more readily believe the Russian boat that was in the area did it so Russia wouldn’t have to pay penalties for non delivery on NS-2. |
