BTW, this like took some extra effort . . . a window popped up when I hit the "Like" button and basically said "You sure? If so, press 'confirm' below".
lol, that's happened to me a few times "liking" certain posters posts. It's like an AI asking me.... You have a stroke bro? Last chance to wake up!
It's like when I delete one of Hickory's posts. You sure, dude? Isn't he on YOUR team???
Look at it logically—-So both Nordstream pipelines sprung a leak.
Blasts precede Baltic pipeline leaks, sabotage seen likely
Denmark believes “deliberate actions” caused big leaks in two natural gas pipelines that run under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, and seismologists said powerful explosions preceded the leaks.apnews.com
Some Euros are pointing the finger our way saying sabotage undermines those protesting in Germany to make a deal with the Russians.
First, keep in mind that these two pipelines are NOT in use, so destroying them HELPS no one at this point, but it does put some pressure on Europe about the future of their energy sources and on Russia about potential future profits. Ideologs among the Green Crazies May think they would gain some sort of advantage by the action, but it would make more sense (?) to damage a working pipeline, not an idle one.
While the loss of the pipe may seem to help future American gas sales to EU, our domestic policy discourages/limits the gas production here. No advantage to us to damage the pipe, particularly when it’s not yet operational. We can’t fill the need for gas for EU and they already have the option to buy our gas rather than Russian gas..
This was done by someone crazy &/or stupid…I guess we must conclude it was the Biden Admin…They’re the only ones that fulfill both criteria.
I don't think it was the U.S. at all. Our position was/is winning. We would have no reason to escalate like this. The threat of the Germans or other Euros peeling off was not great enough (yet) for the U.S. to introduce this type of escalation to the conflict.
The only people it makes sense for IMO would be Ukraine and I don't think they could have pulled this off. And even for them this would be highly dangerous if it was discovered they did it.
Who benefits from the loss of this inactive pipeline?— Anybody who would benefit from higher gas prices (gas producers). Russia is already selling their gas to EU. The US could sell gas, but we’re discouraging its production and don’t want to increase it.
I read where the leaders from Poland, Norway and Denmark attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the new Baltic Pipe, a key stage on the drive to wean Poland and Europe off Russian gas.
The Cajun Navy is doing some good work in Florida. To you they are probably just gravy seals.

He said they'd bring it down. There's only maybe a handful of countries who have the technology to pull it off. Also look at who benefits. It all adds up.
So the most you've got is a statement that the US would bring it down plus your own speculation. Got it.
The only part of that Hersh essay that really bothered me was the claim the administration decided Congressional notification wasn't required because Biden made some vague remark that made the action no longer "covert." First, that's a really weak argument. Second, Congressional notification is required for intelligence activities including covert actions, not restricted to them. Of course, the idea that telling the Gang of Eight qualifies as notification was already shown to be stupid during the Bush era, so the whole thing is already resting on unsteady legal grounds.
So long as Hersh continues to rely on anonymous sources to report these salacious stories, everything he writes needs to be taken with a grain of salt, though.
The fact that it benefits Russia and not the US kinda shows you where the sabotage came from
That's exactly what I said back when it happened. Seemed to me that Russia was the obvious culprit. But who knows what's really happening in the n-dimension chess that is foreign affairs?
Lol. How in the hell does it benefit Russia? You guys are unbelievable.
Wait, so he asked some Senate colleagues and none said they were briefed on the US blowing up the pipeline, and therefore he can't rule out that it actually happened? What the hell kind of logic is that?
Congress should investigate the claim….but I ain’t buying what Hersh is selling
So they mean the Navy Seals. There's only like 5 countries in the world who could've pulled this off and it definitely wasn't Russia or China. The others wouldn't do squat without an order from Washington.

Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines, U.S. Officials Say
New intelligence reporting amounts to the first significant known lead about who was responsible for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines that carried natural gas from Russia to Europe.

I don't know. Why don't you find some polling on it?
He’s actually making some endrows over in the “let’s make our kids queer” thread.
Gotta give props to ER’body when deserved.
Well in may farming days, you knew you had finished a good pass, when you reached the end rows (or turn rows some idiots call’um). Lol
After some Googling and word searching, I think the phrase we are looking for is "making inroads".
Well that's just stupid !!
hahaha .. Kidding. I honestly thought that is correct but I've had this internal conversation about this for decades. Putting little spins on things that mean nothing at all... It's just a fun (read stupid) little thing I do internally.
