Russia working on oil and gas swap deals with Iran: Novak
🔹Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak says talks are going on with Iran on working out mechanisms to implement oil and gas swap deals as the two countries eye increased cooperation to counter foreign sanctions targeting their energy exports.
NS1 and NS2 consist of 2 lines each. Three lines were destroyed but line B of NS2 still works.
Russian trolls love Iranian state media. One of the people Iran assigned to PressTV is an African American known for assassinating an Iranian diplomat in 1981 and much more recently for being the last known person to see former FBI veteran Robert Levinson alive and free...before Levinson died in Iran.
Hopefully line B is being watched. Somewhere, the perps are frantically saying "oh s***". Will they take another bite at the apple?
As an aside, it will be telling to see who expresses disappointment that line B wasn't also taken out.
They can gather all the physical evidence they want...without the “messenger”...it means nothing.
It’s not her fault, but I blame the Hildabeast.
Is the author’s real name Pyotr Escobarovich?
A very interesting article. As a fan of Scandinavian noir thrillers, I find his premise to be quite believable, as the drama plays out.
I hope the Germans are stocking up on their wooly longjohns.
Weather folks are predicting a very cold winter!
So expect me to be skeptical at any initial reports, no matter who they implicate. If initial on-site investigation immediately starts finding pieces of munitions casings with serial #s from "X" country, I'm going to be inclined to believe that makes X less likely, not more, to be the culprit.
In a similar vein, it's been suggested the damage could have been done using "pigs" within the pipeline itself. I doubt it based on the following logic: If the damage was done internally, the number of possible culprits is very small. Basically either Russia or someone would have had to seize control of the pipeline where they could insert the pig munitions. And Russia would already know if there had been an incident like that, assuming it would have involved overpowering any personnel.
If a 3rd party did it, Russia would already be screaming bloody murder about such an incident from 0-hour or before. And if Russia did it themselves, they have to know the gig would be up unless they could blame someone else, so they'd react in exactly the same way, claiming a substation had been seized by some other party, and doing so immediately not waiting. Since they have not made any such claim I'm fairly confident the investigation will find the pipelines were damaged by external munitions.
Annnd....US weekly stats show our active rig count down 3 this week.
Nice work, Joe.
As if they didnt know this just after the thing was blown.
Gauges indicated there was still pressure holding in that line so...
He order OPEC to pump more and they complied with the desires of the global warming crowd by cutting production. Now that it juice.
Rumor has it that divers found a pair of aviator sunglasses in the debris around the pipeline. Mind you, strictly a rumor.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .... the leader of the free world. And they laugh in his face.
One can only imagine what the foreign intel agencies have on him.
If so, what makes him think they would allow them to be repaired?
Neither pipeline will ever operate again as long as Putin is in power.
PressTV? LOL! So it’s Iranian propaganda now. Iran is as communist as Russia.
D*mn poor writing style. Author doesn’t clarify who the different “players” and “alliances” are. For example, who is the Empire? Which groups are aligned within each broader ideology?
This isn’t really a “nation vs nation” for many who are involved. Russia is opposed by many tens of millions because they have been indoctrinated to believe Russia=Putin=Trump=EVIL. Others see Capitalust energy companies =Trump =pipe lines = EVIL. Other hundreds of millions see Ukraine = Holy because Trump opposed corruption in Ukraine. Others in power see Ukraine = My Money in bribes and kickbacks
