“I am certain that this is complete nonsense,” President Vladimir Putin said in fresh statements to Russian media on Tuesday, making rare detailed remarks concerning the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. He was referencing the latest narrative out of the West which claims a mysterious “pro-Ukrainian group” was behind the pipeline bombings.
Last Tuesday The New York Times published a story making the claim, and quickly an avalanche of follow-up stories have appeared across Western media asserting a similar narrative. Putin says that these stories are intended to run cover in order to hide a “state” actor. He stressed that only specialists backed by a government which possesses “certain technologies” could be capable of such a complex, deep underwater operation.
Putin’s full statement given while on a visit to an aircraft plant in Russia’s Buryatia republic region is as follows, per state media translation: “I’m sure this is complete nonsense. An explosion of this kind – of such power, at such depth, can only be carried out by specialists, and supported by the entire power of a state, possessing certain technologies.”
The Western media narrative of a rogue “pro-Ukrainian” unit being behind the sabotage op began emerging almost a month after Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published his bombshell report which said President Biden ordered the attack on the natural gas pipelines. It detailed the CIA’s role in conjunction with an elite US Navy deep sea diving team as well, and with the help of Norwegian intelligence.
Putin in his new remarks also pointed the finger at the United States, but stopped short of a direct accusation. According to a translated summary of his words in Sputnik:
He also suggested that one should probably consider who would be interested in the destruction of Nord Stream, noting that, theoretically, the United States could have been one such entity as such act of sabotage would help them cut the flow of Russian gas to the European market so that the US could supply greater amount of its own, much more expensive liquefied natural gas there.
The Russian president added that, while repairing the damaged Nord Stream pipelines would be no mean feat, it probably could be done, though such undertaking would require time, money and new technologies.
The Russian leader also weighed on on the possibility of a repair and the question of future operability:
He noted, however, that the Nord Stream project would have a future only if Russia’s European partners were to remember about their own national interest, as it would seem that, currently, they are doing whatever it is they are told “from across the ocean.”

Following Hersh’s report, US officials and establishment media sought to portray the famed reporter as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ who is far past the prime of his career. This despite Hersh’s track record of blockbuster investigative journalism and his breaking major stories spanning decades speaking. It remains that he’s among the most celebrated journalists in American history who was proven right time and again.

The complete merging of the Western mainstream media with the pro Ukrainian EU and NATO can only have negative consequences. The old Soviet Union block use to behave in such a manner. I don’t recognize our western way of life at all, we use to be for truth, justice and liberty, now we are just a socialistic conglomeration with oligarchs as leaders. I love my country but I despise my government.
It is certain the scum has floated up in the whitehouse (((figuratively speaking)))
Gotta hand it to HL Mencken; any decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. Yet Boobus Americanus dutifully marches to the polls every 4 years to have their democracy shoved further up their ass.
I wonder if that is just cohencidental to the jews behind the Bolshevik revolution fleeing to America and seizing the levers of power over the last hundred years.
The complete merging of the Western mainstream media…reports exactly and only what they are told to report.
I love what was my country sadly the government that lies cheats and steals proves with every action that is enacted in my name as an American Citizen proves those in government elected appointed or hired despise me and want me either totally controlled or bankrupted and dead ! Dead is preferable by the WEF NWO WHO CDC NIH new standards
And since POTUS is a terrorist, when Ukraine gives up, Ukraine will be much like Iraq was. Terror and chaos to undermine Russia. That’s how the evil people in high office roll, they will not accept getting vanquished.
Why do you think Russia is currently taking its time, so to fully demilitarize Ukraine.
Maybe Russia will prosecute Biden as a war criminal?
How, exactly? By using that giant bowl of shit stew we call the United Nations?
bwahaha!
Now you understand the theory behind the practice of assassination.
What was our state dept thinking? Talk about head up your ass!
They DON’T “think”. They follow orders.
The reason the deep state has everyone fearing Mexico, cartels, Russia and domestic terrorists is because of high level psyops.
This is to distract from the fact that 3 of the G-5(5 most powerful terrorists in the world) live in the U.S.
It is also why they have so many alt people pointing fingers at the tiny hat crowd. One of their best Psyops.
Obama’s
Clinton’s

Im have lost track of how many people, who don’t know shit about Mexico, are screaming from the mountain tops how bad Mexico is.
They have got everyone trained like seals to think living in America is wonderful and way better than places like Mexico, Thailand and Russia. Little do they know that the Mexican banking system is on much more solid ground.
trained low IQ seals.
It is called “Capital Controls”
They do the exact same thing about Philippines. Found out it was a lovely place after I got here. I’m sad to say I never went to Mexico, based on the programming you just described.
-Anonymous US officials
-Undisclosed nature of the intelligence
-No firm conclusions
Yep, that ought to stick.
When two leaders of a country (Biden, Nuland) state in very plain language that Nordstream II “will not move forward”, What is there figure out?
Look, folks. This should be pretty plain at this point.
Putin and Russia know exactly who did this.
The fact that they AREN’T making the formal accusation is all the proof you’ll ever need that Putin doesn’t want this to escalate beyond his stated goals…protecting Russian people from Ukrainian butchery.
Russia’s economy is doing great. They don’t NEED a war. Broke ass Europe and the U.S. are the ones in financial trouble threatening to bankrupt the entire world and poking everyone capable of killing them with a stick!
When World War Three breaks out, it will have been America and the EU which started it.
Putin is correct. the nonsense of a non state actor is for the consumption of the stupids and the bought and paid for. that explanation is absolutely ridiculous made by absolutely ridiculous people.
When I was a kid, my friends and I used to free dive in waters as cold as the North Atlantic down to several hundred feet and blow up explosive devices just for fun. Of course someone other than a state actor could have done this.
You dove “several HUNDRED feet” into ice cold water as a KID????
I’m calling bullshit. No … MEGA-bullshit.
