could be americans sending message to russians that they can get more involved if needs be....
Can someone please explain to me what potential benefit it could be to Russia to have nordstream 1 and 2 blown up?
Surely it was Putins plan to use them as leverage during the cold winter (obviously this wasn’t gonna work for him).
So no leverage now but why blow them up?
Wasn't there a mile wide cut in cables in the Baltic sea before the invasion in February.
Tweet from 2017.
Makes no sense for the Americans to do it. Why would a president that said that in February and that the Kremlin had ready to fire out in propaganda to their minions do it and have that thrown back at them?
100% it was the Russians. Putin was on the ropes. His people were rising against him. He sent in his riot squads to crush them but he needed to stop more.
What do you do then but the same copybook that Putin and russia has followed since day one, attack, deny, lie. He thinks he's pulled a masterstroke and now has Russians against the US. As "obviously" it was the US that attacked Russian infrastructure. Oh the shame, oh the hurt world, the US has attacked us.
Whereas before it was Putin attacking Ukrainians albeit with western weapons. Now it's moscuvites. The US has directly attacked Russia. Rail to the flag people. Know who your enemy is. It's not me Mister Putin. It's Mr.Biden and his warmongering.
Why would I Mr.Putin attack my own gas pipelines that Germany and Europe were not using for gas now. It makes no sense.
Up in the press you never use
You'll be grand, I over exaggerated that post.
Check in with me in the morning,I'm sure you'll be ok....
Sweet dreams
This message will self destruct in.....
Exactly where there has been uncertainty there now is certainly and the markets like that. It doesn't matter who did it.
Definitely America behind it, we heard it from the horse’s mouth, where are my iodine tablets
If a genuine referendum had been held say a year ago, what would the result have been?
But then in that case they contradict themselves as Ukraine is/was a country also
Well that could mean they want respect for Russia's territorial integrity .... including its four new regions which have just "voted overwhelmingly" to join the motherland.
China, on Ukraine, urges respect for "territorial integrity of all countries"
China is getting splinters from its fence sitting
The twatter contagion has reached boards.ie . . . keep calm and carry on (ignoring putinbots)
Russia have had their way, but if USA decide to fight back they'll be hit hard
Definitely not the worst way to go out
Looks like Reuters tweeted a bit unquestioningly about the referendum results and then pulled the tweet following a backlash.
Just do it already. I've lived and I'm tired.
A direct hit please, instant atomisation, no lingering misery. Cheers.
What button, the toilet flush?
He's a classic example of the tendency that has been highlighted here often: he correctly points out that the US and other western countries are hypocrites whose hands are far from clean. But in his case (see also Chomsky, Fisk) it becomes obsessive to a degree that any enemy of the West basically gets off scot free i.e. an enemy of the West must automatically be a good guy.
A total plonker, and the self importance of his letter is unbelievable. As if Putin gives a f*CK what he thinks either way
Not just on twatter
The pipelines most likely had 150bar (2176 psi) pressure of gas in them, to counteract the pressure exerted on them by the weight of water above them and to stop them being crushed. Also, it would keep corrosive sea water out of any minor leaks, if there were any.
The seismograph readings suggest an explosive equivalent to about 100 Kg of TNT was used. Certain world navies have submarines which in turn have min submarines and ROVs to inspect and do stuff, like tap into communication cables, spy on undersea installations and maybe even place demolition charges.

Your talent is wasted here. You should pop over to the Psychics and Mediums forum.
What a w#nker, I see, at a stretch, what he’s trying to get at, he always does this, provocative alternative points of view, I agreed with him on the Israel stuff where he was being wrongly accused of being antisemitic but to see him sabotage his own open letter with whatabouterry regarding NATO is embarrassing.
It can't be, but it is on the NME website. Go figure.
Dropping this in . . . had been following this blogger from Russian post invasion as he was in Moscow as was able to give a good insight into the 'mood on the street' with his fellow Muscovites
He just dropped a video a couple of hours ago, he's after fleeing Russian and is now in Uzbekistan
reminds me of the quote from the German scientist from the first Captain America film "you must remember Steve Rogers, the first country Adolf Hitler invaded was Germany"
p.s NordStream 1 & II sabotage by the Russians, you can see the useful idiots all over twatter blaming this on USA deep state
The pipeline incident was definitely sabotage.
Authorities are currently seeking the whereabouts of the Beastie Boys
If I didn’t know already that Walters was an ass of the highest order - I would just say maybe he was a naive fool but that email is such an ego trip it beggars belief. I think he took too many of the same drugs that did for poor Sid Barret
Let Russia keep parts of Ukraine, f**k off ya ejit.
Can you remember where you were when WW3 started?
FFS. Is this genuine?
I always loved Pink Floyd, which makes it all the more painful to hear him coming out with this juvenile nonsense.
