Exaggerated???
Neighbor, please...

It is entirely likely that this was an industrial accident involving hydrate plugs.
Hobson’s choice; listen to our criminal, or listen to their criminal.
Jobama (Obozo) are as guilty for this as much as they are liars. There is no truth in either of them.
Ok, the Nord pipeline incidents.Sigh. I shouldn’t do this, but …
I call them “incidents” for a reason. I grew up in overseas oilfields. I try to, by training, observe everything from as objectively neutral a viewpoint as possible.
In my experience when anything involving energy-industry hydrocarbons explodes … well, sabotage isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it’s Tuesday. Or Friday. Or another day of the week ending in “y”.
“But, LawDog,” I hear you say, “It was multiple explosions!”
Yes, 17 hours apart. No military is going to arrange for two pipes in the same general area to be destroyed 17 hours apart. Not without some Spec Ops guy having a fit of apoplexy. One pipe goes up in a busy shipping lane, in a busy sea, and everyone takes notice. Then you wait 17 hours to do the second — with 17 hours for people to show up and catch you running dirty? Nah, not buying it.
The Nord pipelines weren’t in use. To me, that means it’s time for maintenance! Hard to maintain pipes when product is flowing.
Pipelines running methane, under saltwater, require PMCS* quicker than you’d think, and more often than you’d believe.
I would bet a cup of coffee that any of the required weekly and monthly checks and services since the Russians took over have been pencil-whipped. (See Andreev Bay 1982.)
You're exaggerating, again...
I hope people read the whole of this blog installment. As you are, I am not wholly convinced it was not an accident. The two explosions some 17 hours apart could easily have been due to “maintenance operations” having been started on both pipe-lines more or less simultaneously. Just stopping the clearing away of hydrate plugs when the first line exploded may nothave been sufficient to save the second one.
Then again, it appeares that every navy (including the Swedish one) has been visiting the sites of explosions quite recently, so who knows.
Nope.
They need to be publicized even more. Too many Democrats still don't even know about it.
They’ve officially denied it.
The West did it.
So says the Chinese Communist Party, too. America hating birds of a feather...
Why would Russia destroy their golden goose leverage tool
One that was never opened and the other not flowing
And given many leaders in the west had threatened it previously including president Bernie
(Weekends at)
And note USA response is muted
Putin should ignore it for now and continue to consolidate eastern gains of the Russian speaking and sympathetic populace
Russia and Germany can repair it later
It’s shallow water and the repair can be done in months
The Swedish government who actually monitored the explosions, say they were bombs.
You are going to believe some blog by some random guy on the internet rather than the Swedish government who actually monitored these explosions?
Except it isn’t one pipeline, but two pipelines 75 km apart. As for the 17 hour difference-
1. The second explosion was larger than the first, maybe someone figured out a larger hole would be needed? And that required some prep time?
2. Your confidence in the punctuality of military operations is-— perhaps misplaced. Even with special ops, and especially when politicians are involved.
It doesn’t matter what Putin says, I figure Biden, in an adlib will spill the beans. Probably before the election. Then just watching the coverup will be worth the admission.
Well, maybe not if that admission is WW3.
Don’t worry FJB...as usual, I’m sure YOUR media got the memo(narrative)...
BRICS might be getting bigger soon.
Considering the default response to any world event by our government is a lie, you are probably correct.
And certainly Russians would never lie, right?
Tovarisch, Russians -- specifically the Soviet-era KGB for which Uncle Volodya once worked -- invented the term "disinformation".
