Yes, the PIG (pipeline inspection guage) https://www.wermac.org/nordstream/html_img86.html gives an indication how this could be done "It will be inserted into the PIG trap at the start of the pipelines in Portovaya, Russia, and launched into the pipelines, where it will travel..."
Belarusian railways improving infrastructure to receive military echelons - monitor group
If Belarus are this involved why are their football teams allowed to play in Europe still?
Russian grandmothers telling the truth are being arrested now
They found the reason for the leak in the nord stream 2 pipeline as well
An update on the nuclear thing. Russian military doctrine says they can use nuclear weapons if Russian sovereignty is threatened. This is not the same as an attack on Russian territory, which is a less serious scenario. This was mentioned on Sky News by a Ukrainian spokesperson.
There is no way you reach 96% on this referendum after you attack a country, erupt a f**king war on their heads and force conscription upon occupied sectors. There is no margin for reality in this.
Realistically even if you had overwhelming support pre - invasion, you are going to see a steep drop in that during post - invasion.
This can never be recognized as legitimate under any circumstances.
It's practically impossible to get 96% of a population to agree on anything. Russia should have faked believable numbers.
This is 100pc usa involvement.
Russia loses pipeline that could have been used for negotiatons leverage
Why blow up billions of work when u can turn gas off?
Eu were fkd just now by usa. Somebody does not want the war to end.
Mmmmmmmm
.
explosion off the Irish coast could be next up, that internet cable getting it could start WW3
Any sabotage on European infrastructure is reason for article 5
If you are a Russian ultranationalist, who thinks Putin is a whimp who isn’t going either far enough or hard enough with the West, then removing one of his bargaining chips is actually a smart play.
If speaking up meant 10 years in a prison (where you might be tortured/raped/starved) or get sent to the front line…. I would probably stay quiet… the russian population knows there are severe consequences for dissent
Cables plural. Many.
Article 5 could easily be invoked over this pipeline sabotage, but it won't be.
I hate to say it, but.....
Definitely a strong possibility for sure.
He gains in his own head that the world is against them
Not endorsing this tweet. Just interesting. It was sabotage for sure, that’s all we know. Rest is speculation.
There really is no room for Peterson in this
Rumour has it Biden is personally leading covert missions with Seal team 6. Does anyone know if he has aquatic training ?
Hmmm I wonder who'd be at an advantage if the pipeline was sabotaged ?
Did I hear a world leader say if Russia invaded somewhere that they'll make sure that the pipeline would be sorted out.
This is absolutely nuts.
Interesting, I presume NATO and other related military intelligence can track & identify these systems when they are active.
Putin isn't trying to fool anyone - that result is just a "fúck you" to Ukraine and the west.
Ireland getting all angry and hurling it's entire stock of iodine tablets at the Russian embassy isn't going to trigger WW3.
5 second's to midnight...
Two things on that
Since the pipelines haven't actually delivered any gas, their destruction is of little consequence for gas supply to Germany and other European countries.
Second, since Russia shut down delivery of gas, prices have been falling.
This is actually not a bad thing. Ironically it has created more certainty and calmed the markets. Even the media reaction in Germany has been meh.
Re the pipelines - This is pretty scary stuff. In either the case of it being the US(who would have the tech to do it externally) or Russia ( for a false flag perhaps?) it marks a pretty significant escalation.
Waters' open letter to Putin. I kid you not (I love the 'Alright back to the table' bit)-
Roger Waters
Los Angeles, CA
Sunday 25th September 2022
Recently I have been reading comments on social media, asking why I’ve written to Mrs. Olena Zelenska but not Mr. Vladimir Putin? Very good question, I’m glad you asked, here it is.
Roger Waters' open letter to Vladimir Putin.
Dear President Putin, since The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine on February 24th this year I have tried to use my small influence to encourage a ceasefire and a diplomatic settlement that addresses the security needs of both Ukraine and The Russian Federation. In that endeavor I have written two open letters to Mrs. Olena Zelenska the wife of the Ukrainian President. These letters are readily available on the internet. I am increasingly asked to write to you too, so here goes. Firstly, would you like to see an end to this war? If you were to reply and say, “Yes please.” That would immediately make things a lot easier. If you were to come out and say, “Also the Russian Federation has no further territorial interest beyond the security of the Russian speaking populations of The Crimea, Donetsk and Lubansk.” That would help too. I say this because, I know some people who think you want to overrun the whole of Europe, starting with Poland and the rest of the Baltic states. If you do, **** you, and we might as well all stop playing the desperately dangerous game of nuclear chicken that the hawks on both sides of the Atlantic seem so comfortable with, and have at it. Yup, just blow each other and the world to smithereens. The problem is, I have kids and grandkids, and so do most of my brothers and sisters all over the world and none of us would relish that outcome. So, please Mr Putin indulge me, and make us that assurance.
Alright back to the table, if I’ve read your previous speeches correctly, you would like to negotiate a state of neutrality for a sovereign neighboring Ukraine? Is that correct? Assuming such a peace could be negotiated it would have to include an absolutely binding agreement not to invade anyone ever again. I know, I know, the USA and NATO invade other sovereign countries at the drop of a hat, or for a few barrels of oil, but that doesn’t mean you should, your invasion of Ukraine took me completely by surprise, it was a heinous war of aggression, provoked or not.
When Mrs. Zelenska replied to me via Twitter, I was very surprised and mightily moved, if you were to reply to me, I would mightily respect you for it, and take it as an honorable move in the right direction towards a sustainable peace.
Yours sincerely

The only person to benefit from the pipeline attacks is Putin. He can point at the west and rally his slaves.
Nordstream 1 is (or was until this incident) full of gas, to keep the pressure up. Maybe we have an expert on gas pipe operations here who could explain how it works?
If someone wanted to blow the pipes up, they could have placed the charges beforehand. It seems likely these incidents were caused by explosions, since explosions were registered by seismologists.
It's a massive escalation. Start of a tit for tat that could lead to god knows where.
