“We have leakage at two positions” off Sweden, coast guard spokesperson Mattias Lindholm. There are two more off Denmark, he said.

At this point in time it doesn't matter what happened, whether it was shitty and/or non-existent maintenance or sabotage, all eyes are looking towards the US government.
Mainly because we have fixed there problems for free before. They are cheering our decline and downfall. My first thought is let them freeze. Then my Christian background says we can’t do that.
ReplyDeleteConundrums.
We bailed their asses out TWICE last century and rebuilt their countries after both foray's, FOR FREE. Have they been grateful?
DeleteThese Euro's are so smart, they shut all of their coal fired power plants without a reliable alternative other than contracting with a psychopath to ensure that they can run their economies and keep their citizens warm in the winter Why you ask? All because a teen aged truant yelled at them.
Screw'em. Let them expire frozen in the dark. I'm sick to death of them espousing how superior they are to their friends on this side of the Atlantic.
These people think they're so smart, they tried to regulate the curve in bananas. They're nothing but a simpering bunch of gutless snobs who haven't the brains to come in out of the rain.

"regulate the curve in bananas" HAHA! Yeah other stupid shit, too. Great read for a Friday!
DeleteQHM
Worse, they mothballed nuclear plants....
DeleteFeeling morally superior in their ignorance.
Maybe they can heat their homes w that ignorance? Send them 50 gals of solar power?

If it wasn't the CIA or State Department that sabotaged them, my next guess would be China.
ReplyDeleteI see them as being the ones to gain the most from it, other than the CIA.
Bingo!
DeleteThe pipelines were depth charged. All that’s needed is a boat and a couple of depth charges. The boat can go over any section of the pipeline, drop the depth charges and speed away. Such sabotage is not traceable. If they wanted to be extra-clandestine, the charges could be triggered by a timer, rather than depth. That way, the charges could be deposited days before the actual explosions.
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteExactly how do you locate a pipeline in open ocean, on the ocean floor?
And then how do you drop something through moving currents, and keep it on target?
That takes a lot of sophisticated hardware.
I read that the water is only 60 meters deep where the pipelines are located.
DeleteIt's easy AF to hit an underwater stationary target. Open source wave/current models are easily found on the interwebs. Sidescan sonar has been around for decades. Anyone with a 10 grand can buy a sidescan equipped UUV.
Delete80-110 meters in most of the Baltic.
DeleteEveryone is looking at the US as the culprit because on more than one occasion the Brandon regime vowed to destroy the pipelines.
ReplyDeleteWith satellite surveillance, all the military radars operating in that strait not to mention SOSUS , somebody knows or will know soon who did this. If it is sabotage.
ReplyDeleteI figured we did it. Then I read a more informed opinion. Makes too much sense to dismiss. MartyB

Except Swedish and Danish Prime Ministers have stated that the ruptured were not accidents, and multiple German authorities say the same.

That was a very interesting read. And it did change my mind, or at least introduced reasonable doubt.
DeleteAnon, there's no 'we' in government. Its them. As in, them treasonous interlopers have infiltrated our government.
DeleteHere is a different spin on the poor maintenance theory. Since I don't know anything about natural gas pipelines, I would have to accept that Lawdog does in fact know the hazards of a dormant pipeline. Now, if there are others who know of that danger too, it could still be sabotage. Lawdog assumes it was Russia that opened the valve on their side. What if somebody did it on the Germany side with the intention of causing a pipeline rupture?
DeleteNeither the PM of Sweden or Denmark are authorities on the matter. Law Dog's article is on the money and the burden of proof to show otherwise rests on those who want to concoct conspiracy theories.
DeleteBoth PMs need to show their evidence that it was an accident. I doubt they have a thing.
Improper maintenance on the clearing of the inevitable methane hydrate plugs within the pipelines.
ReplyDeleteJust fire off a flare into that bitch and get it over with.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious. Trump did it to take attention away from the hurricane he caused to cover up the top secreat nuclear weapons he has hidden in Mar a Lago.
ReplyDeleteI read that lawdog one, makes as much sense as any other explanation so far. The Russians truly can’t maintain shit, I’ve seen that firsthand. I hope to god we didn’t do it. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteThose Scandinavian countries have smart kit. And every square metre/ meter of that sea bed is thick with sonar and acoustic, and magnetic, gravity distorting, and every other kind of detection systems to secret even to mention.
ReplyDeleteSo they know who sneaked in, laid the explosive and then triggered it.
Lot of memory to be wiped.
Biden quoted as saying "Dindunuttin." with big smile on his face. " now, where's my 10 percent? "
It's fair to ask: Cui bene?
ReplyDeleteNot Russia. All they had to do was turn the pipeline off.
Not Britain. They have problems of their own.
Who else has a submarine fleet, deep water divers, and oodles of explosives? And won't be affected by natgas shortages? And who has a threatening national election coming up?
No, It's not SPECTRE. It's not SMERSH.
Hold up your middle finger if you have an idea who might be behind this?
Definitely Ernst Blofeld...
ReplyDeleteStopped reading the law dog article at 300 foot depth.
ReplyDeleteIt's 60m.
Just a tad difference in pressure between the two.
200' vs 300'. Not that big a dif.
