Fingers Point At Russia In Baltic Undersea Pipeline Attack

Rumors and speculation continue to swirl around a series of blasts that significantly damaged two major underwater pipelines in the Baltic Sea designed to carry natural gas from Russia to Europe yesterday. The European Union has now joined a growing chorus of government officials, as well as experts and observers, saying the explosions were all but certainly the result of some kind of deliberate attack. A British media report today indicated that officials in that country are increasingly convinced that the Russian government is responsible, possibly using uncrewed underwater vehicles to plant explosives. Readers can get up to speed first on what is already known about these incidents in The War Zone's initial reporting here..

...

There are entirely unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, which Russian state and non-state actors are amplifying, circulating already that the U.S. government, or other actors working in cooperation with it, were responsible. Spreading misinformation and disinformation, or enabling their spread, are common Russian government tactics to deflect attention from its own malign activities.

...

A remark from President Joe Biden in February before Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine that the Kremlin's increasingly hostile actions toward its neighbor could lead to there "be no longer a Nord Stream 2," has also resurfaced. There is no indication whatsoever that this was anything but a comment on the potential diplomatic pressure the U.S. government would exert on German authorities to at least freeze that specific pipeline project, something that very publicly happened.

All this being said, there are indications that Western intelligence agencies are increasingly of the view that the Russian government, or actors acting on its behalf, was responsible for the pipeline leaks. The Times newspaper in the United Kingdom, citing an unnamed U.K. "defense source," reported today that a "likely scenario" for the attacks involved Russian uncrewed underwater vehicles, deployed from a mothership vessel of some kind on the surface, possibly something as innocuous as a fishing boat. Those undersea drones would then have laid explosive devices along the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines.

I've been mulling over the espionage and treachery of this, and I think I can see where @Cincinnatus is coming from finally.

At first I was certain Russia would not blow up a giant piece of leverage like this.

But, what if Putin needed that leverage gone to solidify the ranks INTERNALLY? As in, shut down options for peace and negotiations that his potential dissenters or usurpers would use as a rallying point to overthrow or weaken him?

A bit like salting the fields so your successors are fucked over if you will...

Thank you for the name of the pipeline.  I could not remember it, and Google was surprisingly unhelpful.  

Gazprom has threatened to shutter Soyuz/Bratstvo yesterday as well due to transit fee dispute with Naftogaz

The only good news is the system was being politically decommissioned as far back as '19, so has greatly reduced capacity.  Ukes havnt bought Russian gas since '14 or '15

This and Nordstream hasn't bounced gas futures much, which makes sense  - spiked to 207 yesterday but fell below 200 (184 now) - end of August was almost 350 and been falling since. Still double Junes and go back to May of '21 it was 10.

You can see the pain tho

Exactly. Leftists like Brennan can be telling the truth but who knows at this point. At some point, the facts will become more clear and the liars' continued arguments to cover up will become more transparent as well.

Admissions of intent are "facts" and they are admissible.

If the statement was made by a witness and they deny it the evidence can be admitted.

If they admit it?

He has the facts.  If Brennon said it was Russia... We KNOW it wasn't.  

Germany Believes High Explosive Devices Equivalent To "500 Kilograms Of TNT" Used To Destroy Nord Stream

only a state actor can be behind the action....Russian leadership, however, described the process as international terrorism directed against Russia...And now NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called the Nord Stream attack "sabotage" and said it would be met with a "determined response."

where did i say ukraine was a country for the first time in 1991? try sticking to what people actually say and not inventing things on their behalf so you have someone to argue with.
also, because the zelensky crowd needs it repeated over and over. i dont care if russia has legitimate claims to ukraine or not. the position i and i think all of the other putin supporters here have is that we don't want our resources being used to fight the russians on behalf of ukraine, WHILE our country is in the shape its in. when we put out our own house fire, we can tend to our neighbors needs. i don't care if both of those nations fall into a sinkhole and disappear forever. rid this country of the communists, pay down the debt, and then you have our blessing to nuke fucking russia for all i care while giving zelensky a reach around. until then, give your own charity to the slavs and leave my money alone.

Other suspect: Ukraine.  Nordstream bypasses Ukraine, so Russia pays no transit fees.  Several intact pipelines run from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.  Assume a peace deal is reached, Ukraine probably wants some of that money to rebuild.

What does “not certify “ mean exactly ?

They filled out some gov paperwork and said in said paperwork that the NS2 isn’t “certified”

I’m sure it’s impossible to redo the paperwork at a later date and “certify” the pipeline ........

I mean, you have to take a look at who benefits from a Nordstream pipeline cut.  There’s basically 3 countries:  Norway, the US, and Ukraine.

And I say this as someone that supports the US backing Ukraine.

I’m still trying to figure out how a false flag by Russia helps Russia here.  Russia can still get gas to Europe, but it would have to go through Ukraine, so they aren’t locked into war by this action.

But it does sort of lock Germany in with the NATO coalition.  It makes Machiavellian sense why the US would do it.  Also makes sense why Ukraine would do it, but I don’t think they have the capability.  Which sort of leaves the US.

I'm pro-Trump and pro-Ukraine, as are many others here.

The idea that one precludes the other is bizarre.

Other suspect: Ukraine.  Nordstream bypasses Ukraine, so Russia pays no transit fees.  Several intact pipelines run from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.  Assume a peace deal is reached, Ukraine probably wants some of that money to rebuild.

Let me help you understand.

Feb 7: Biden says that the US will "end" Nordtream 2
Feb 22: After long talks with the US, Germany agrees to not certify Nordstream 2, thus effectively ending it.

Biden accomplished exactly what he said he would, on Feb 22, when the Germans agreed to do what he wanted.


Why would he then sabotage the pipeline half a year after the Germans already did what he wanted and ended the project?


Devils advocate, but how do we know the Germans actually stopped getting gas via NS2?  Somehow Germany managed to meet its winter quotas, and Russia economy did not collapse as intended. How exactly?  

The idea that the US did is pretty crazy, not to mention, that the Germans would clearly figure this out.  

My other thought is that company that runs Nordstream did this on purpose for insurance purposes.

Other possible suspects
Mossad
Prince Harry
Lee Harvey Oswald
Col Sanders.

Lol - what's the transit capacity of Soyuz/Bratstvo currently?

I mean, you have to take a look at who benefits from a Nordstream pipeline cut.  There’s basically 3 countries:  Norway, the US, and Ukraine.

And I say this as someone that supports the US backing Ukraine.

I’m still trying to figure out how a false flag by Russia helps Russia here.  Russia can still get gas to Europe, but it would have to go through Ukraine, so they aren’t locked into war by this action.

But it does sort of lock Germany in with the NATO coalition.  It makes Machiavellian sense why the US would do it.  Also makes sense why Ukraine would do it, but I don’t think they have the capability.  Which sort of leaves the US.

What does "not certify " mean exactly ?

They filled out some gov paperwork and said in said paperwork that the NS2 isn't "certified"

I'm sure it's impossible to redo the paperwork at a later date and "certify" the pipeline ........

Simple, he is worried the Germans are gonna actually renege on it in the winter and make a deal with Putin to turn on the gas.

It makes 0 sense for the Russians to blow up their own pipeline and remove their one trump card they have over Europe. Repairing that pipe will cost millions and it effectively ends any sort of "games" they could play with energy to that part of Europe this winter. Or after the war ends.

Who stands to benefit from that? Oh wait, people who don't want the Euros to cuck out in December, i.e. the US. Who also, is exporting copious amounts of LNG to Europe as we speak and making a killing on it.

PROOF Ukraine has been destroyed by the WEF backed "war"?  It's all a money laundering scheme bro.

You need to understand why hitler dressed up a bunch of germans as poles and attacked a german position just before WW2 started.

He's losing support with his people because he's losing the war.  It makes perfect sense for him to engage in a false flag attack on an easily repairable piece of state-owned infrastructure so that he can claim the big bad Americans are behind it and rally the hundreds of thousands of reluctant and hostile draftees that he is now going to send into the meat grinder.

Putin is like a toddler when a parent takes away their favorite toy and the toddler smashes the toy and says “I didn’t want the toy anyway!”.

Putin is a petty narcissistic whiny little baby, that’s why he would destroy his own toy.

im still not saying im 100% sure russia did this, because right now, anyone saying 100% anything with this limited info is a fool.
and you bring up a great point, their little war is already on and not only are they losing, but they are losing bigly.  its guaranteed he's lost a ton of support internally.  if the satan-worshipping western world (seriously, you have to watch his latest speech) is now attacking their pipeline as well, you dont think that will help to solidify support for him internally?  i mean, the pipeline was already sitting there unused.

Yeah, thats a stretch...

No one particularly wants to go die for Putin in Ukraine, if they did he wouldn't be conscripting a shitload of them. And I very much doubt this would change anyone's mind about that.

I mean that pipeline cost them however many millions/billions. And its his major tool against the west/germany. Blowing it up means he can't play games with the west anymore. He looses a ton of leverage with the loss of it. And I doubt he's gonna get some major support boost internally with it blown up. You think the oligarchs that run that shit are happy about it? Thats the real power in russia.

It isn't a stretch at all.  Putin is currently president because of a series of apartment building bombings that were orchestrated by the KBG as false flag operations.  Those bombings were blamed on the Chechens and used as the excuse for the second Chechen war.  They also served to put Putin in a position where he could take the reins of power from Yeltsin.
