CNN: Russian ships and submarines were spotted near the Nord Stream pipeline
Hot Air ^ | September 29, 2022 | John Sexton

As Ed pointed out yesterday, there were indications from Danish and Swedish authorities that the leaks from the Nord Stream pipelines were the result of explosions, i.e. deliberate sabotage not accidents. All eyes immediately turned to Russia who has been playing games with gas deliveries through the pipelines for months. The NY Times created this graph showing the gas supply over time. As you can see, it took a sudden dip in June and then was up and down until this month when they shut it off indefinitely.

(snip)

Still, with the gas already cut off, why bother sabotaging the pipelines? The fact that the exact motive was unclear seemed to leave some doubt about who was responsible. But today we’re learning a bit more about why Europe is pointing the finger at Russia.

(snip)

Russian ships pass through the area on a weekly basis so seeing them in the area prior to the pipeline explosion doesn’t prove a connection. Officially, the US is being more hesitant about assigning blame for this than their European counterparts. National Security adviser Jake Sullivan did refer to the leaks as “apparent sabotage” but beyond that US officials aren’t committing themselves publicly.

I don’t trust CNN, I don’t trust Putin and I don’t trust the Liberal World Order.

Totally believable! The guy in the passport is even named Ivan Russianoff.

“Russian submarines were spotted?”

I agree! Were they on the surface? If so why?

I don’t much care who took the pipeline out, but I do think, if Russia can’t defend its assets in the Baltic Sea, then it probably shouldn’t be invading European countries.

Ever since the spectre was raised that Biden may have ordered this hit, Dems have been showing up on the tube and the mainstream media has promoted the storyline that Russia is responsible to counter it. I don’t know who is responsible, but it would seem Russia would be acting against their own interests if they sabotaged it.

Why were they spotted? Shouldn’t they be solid black like all the other ones?

Really? Ok that sounds more like something planted to be honest.

I’m actually glad the pipeline is ruined. Trump was against it and we actually benefit the most from it being gone. Plus Biden already told the world he would get rid of it.

” Evidence is mounting against the Russians.

Brought to you by:

The Russian collusion hoax.

The Steele dossier.

The Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation according to over 50 former U.S. intelligence officials.

Man, I’m still waiting for the Russians to release the Trump Moscow Pee Tapes. CNN said it was coming any day now.

I'm still saying that some mercenary group (or company!) that can't be traced to any "state actor" did this. Both the CIA and KGB during the Cold War did this a lot for plausible deniability reasons.
