Washington Post: U.S. Knew Ukraine Was Planning To Attack The Nord Stream Pipeline

Credit: Danish Defence/Anadolu Agency  

Washington Post: U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline 

Three months before saboteurs bombed the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, the Biden administration learned from a close ally that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert attack on the undersea network, using a small team of divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces. 

Details about the plan, which have not been previously reported, were collected by a European intelligence service and shared with the CIA in June 2022. 

They provide some of the most specific evidence to date linking the government of Ukraine to the eventual attack in the Baltic Sea, which U.S. and Western officials have called a brazen and dangerous act of sabotage on Europe’s energy infrastructure.

The yanks are back peddling. Nervously pointing the finger at the Ukelalies "It wasn't us, it was them! Three men in a boat!!" Maybe the Russians are going for a bit of payback.

I dont know, possibly out of spite maybe, but the Ukraine does not benefit from it, the US is benefiting from destroying these pipelines.

I believe that Russia destroyed the dam. The result of the destruction benefits Russia in that it totally blocks land access to Crimea from the north and west.

Or, we are to believe that Ukrainian commandos, inserted weeks prior, set valves to bring the reservoir depth to 60 feet over weeks, trucked in explosives to knock down those massive pylons, dump 38,000 barrels of oil and flood a large portion of the most fertile cropland on the planet and then escape without a trace. All under Russian guard.

To do what, exactly?

Yesterday #Putin was mostly resting, apart from phone calls and receiving several reports, with several visits from his doctors. The president's health is deteriorating, and his ability to lead the country may soon be severely restricted.

Mark Bradley, who directs the agency’s Information Security Oversight Office, said that since 2010, his office has gotten more than 80 calls from libraries that have found classified information in papers belonging to members of Congress.

For example, Sen. Edmund Muskie, D-Maine — who left Congress in 1980 and was secretary of state in the last year of President Jimmy Carter’s administration — included 98 classified documents when his papers were given to Bates College.

Every one in the world knows it was Joe Biden and the Americans that destroyed Nordstream. Pretending otherwise just shows how deeply dishonest the American administration is.

Who blew up dam? no one knows. Not yet. We will one day.

Go to sub stack and read Big Serge. Good outline of who Cui Bono the most about the dam.

Who blew up the Nord stream?

We have been over this a dozen times. Motive Opportunity and Ability. The Ukies do not have the technical or logistical capability to do this kind of operation. They do not have the equipment nor experience to go down that deep and move that much explosive at that depth nor the equipment to go that deep and do proper diver decompression.

Off subject

Trump. As stated before, this is a side show. All the Blob wants is to keep him off the ticket for president. This is the easiest way now to do it. Indite and hopefully convict.

He will appeal but they will hold up the legal system until the election is over. Then he will win the appeal and everyone lives happily ever after in putrid ,woke, diversity, anti- Christian land.

Welcome to 21st century America, where 2000 years of civilization is being flushed down the toilet by the "best and brightest"

Have a great day
