U.S. Blew Up Russian Gas Pipelines Nord Stream 1 & 2, Says Former Polish Defense Minister

Authored by Michael Shellenberger via Substack,

A former Polish Defense Minister, Radek Sikorski, has attributed to the United States the sabotage of two pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and 2, which carry natural gas from Russia to Germany. “Thank you, USA,” Sikorski wrote on Twitter. Sikorski was Minister of National Defense from 2005 – 2007 and served as Deputy Minister of National Defense and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, previously. He is currently an elected member of the European parliament.

Nord Stream 1 and 2 lie on the bed of the Baltic Sea. Nord Stream 2 was finished last year but Germany never opened it because Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.

Poland’s Secretary of State, Stanisław Żaryn, denounced Sikorki’s claim on Twitter as “Russian #propaganda,” calling it “a smear campaign against Poland, the US, and Ukraine, accusing the West of aggression against #NS1 and #NS2. Authenticating the Russian lies at this particular moment jeopardizes the security of Poland. What an act of gross irresponsibility!”

But it’s not out of the realm of the possible that the U.S. is indeed behind the attack. President Joe Biden promised on February 7 to prevent Nord Stream 2 from becoming operational if Russia invaded Ukraine. “If Russia invades,” said Biden, “then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since…the project is in Germany’s control?”

Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

“BALTOPS 22: A Perfect Opportunity for Research and Testing New Technology ”

BALTIC SEA — A significant focus of BALTOPS every year is the demonstration of NATO mine hunting capabilities, and this year the U.S. Navy continues to use the exercise as an opportunity to test emerging technology, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Public Affairs said June 14.

In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.

Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68.

BALTOPS is an ideal location for conducting mine hunting experimentation due to the region’s unique environmental conductions such as low salinity and varying bottom types. It is also critical to evaluate emerging mine hunting UUV technology in the Baltic due to its applicability with allied and partner nations. This year experimentation was focused on UUV navigation, teaming operations, and improvements in acoustic communications all while collecting critical environmental data sets to advance the automatic target recognition algorithms for mine detection.

“In prior BALTOPS we demonstrated advanced capabilities to detect, reacquire and collect images of mine contacts, and transfer those images in near real-time to operators through the use of a specialized Office of Naval Research UUV,” said Anthony Constable, Office of Naval Research science advisor to U.S. 6th Fleet. “This year, through the work of NIWC Pacific and NUWC Newport, we are showing that this capability can be integrated into programs of record by executing complex multi-vehicle UUV missions with modified U.S. Navy fleet assets.”

SO I’m kinda curious WHY the US needs to experiment in everyone elses back yards.

due to the region’s unique environmental conductions such as low salinity and varying bottom types.

and… they cover that question, phew I feel better now and understand more because the US doesn’t have any of these conditions in their own territories. At the ‘low salinity’ I nearly spit my coffee out… they could have said the water is darker on cloudy days and that’d have been a better reason…

Apart from the means, motives and opportunity analysis I have not seen too many mentions of the question of who benefits financially. Without a doubt the big winners will be US big oil/gas interests both directly and via the new and existing pipelines they have stakes in. The losers will include the shafted US consumer, and US businesses, who will end up paying far more for their energy requirements as US energy is sold in Europe at massive profits. The clear message from the elites is ‘suck it up losers’. Twas forever thus.

He caused the decommission of the only USAF Phased Array Radar -Army Scram Defensive Missile facility looking north from America that was tracking objects in Space or coming over the North Pole in 1978. It was at Concrete North Dakota and cost the Taxpayers billions but was sold for scrap because Kissinger said so. You never hear about this act of Treason in the ZOG media.

Sikorski’s wife is Anne Applebaum, US regime propagandist. You could not make this shit up. He’s catching hell for his “thanks, USA” tweet. The State Department has one of their bullshitters on Deutsche Welle saying it was a Russian false flag. Watch American libs and the Europeons believe that crap.

I saw the Deutsche Welle clip because YouTube suggested it after I’d watched one from Emil Cosman. YouTube forcing the US narrative down people’s throats.

Only a liberal idiot would believe US propaganda that Russia blew up their pipeline when they could just turn a valve off and not destroy their investment. The Europeans probably didn’t do it. Even Israel or China probable didn’t do it. Even Iran isn’t that crazy; only the ZOG is that Evil.

Won’t somebody please think about the Climate Change caused by this?

The largest leak is reportedly “spreading bubbles a good kilometre (3,280ft) in diameter”…

It comes after shocking footage released earlier today by the Danish military from a flyover of the affected region showed huge swathes of the sea near the Danish island of Bornholm churning as the gas bubbled to the surface.

A military statement claimed that the largest leak ‘is spreading bubbles a good kilometre (3,280ft) in diameter. The smallest is creating a circle about 200 metres (656 feet) in diameter’, while the head of Denmark’s Energy Agency said it could take up to a week for gas to stop draining into the sea.

/sarc

but you know none of the usual suspects are going to highlight this as an environmental catastrophe unless they can blame it on evil Putler.

how many cows farting would equate to a 1 km diameter bubble in the sea that will last a week?

If they would have done just 1 they could have bought some time with mystery cause and investigation.
But they blew 2 at the same time.
This is open warfare
There is no need for investigation, they want downstream reprisals to come quickly.

The Bornholm Blow-Up Repeats the Bornholm Bash — Poland Attacks Germany and Blames Russia

The military operation on Monday night which fired munitions to blow holes in the Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II pipelines on the Baltic Sea floor, near Bornholm Island, was executed by the Polish Navy and special forces.

It was aided by the Danish and Swedish military; planned and coordinated with US intelligence and technical support; and approved by the Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

The operation is a repeat of the Bornholm Bash operation of April 2021, which attempted to sabotage Russian vessels laying the gas pipes, but ended in ignominious retreat by the Polish forces. That was a direct attack on Russia. This time the attack is targeting the Germans, especially the business and union lobby and the East German voters, with a scheme to blame Moscow for the troubles they already have — and their troubles to come with winter.

We all know without any doubt that the devil incarnate Putin carried out this sabotage, probably personally too, which makes him even more evil because not only is he trying to start a war… hes also trying to destroy mother climate change… So trying to shift the blame to anywhere but the devil isn’t gonna work…

USS Paul Ignatius (DDG 117) blew up the Nord Stream gas pipeline. Sept. 15, USS Paul Ignatius arrived in Riga, Latvia for a scheduled port visit. Sept. 26, this destroyer docked in the port Gdynia, Poland after completing its “mission”, on the same day, explosions occurred at Nord Stream pipelines. After that, Paul Ignatius was immediately sent back to the Naval Station Rota, Spain to escape the accident site. According to reliable sources, an American torpedo was found at the explosion site of the Nord Stream gas pipeline. It was the torpedo type carried by the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Paul Ignatius (DDG 117)
