EU Foreign Policy chief Josep Borrell believes Tuesday’s damage to the Nord Stream pipelines was deliberate sabotage, and has warned it will be met with a “robust” response.
Reports emerged on Tuesday of explosions from under the Baltic Sea with unusual leaks discovered on the Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines.
Danish PM Mette Fredriksen said that authorities insist it was a deliberate act, but added that there was “no information indicating who could be behind it,” despite Polish MEP Radoslaw Sikorski insinuating on Twitter that the US was responsible.
I’m getting the feeling that this isn’t going to be an oopsie poopsie western liberal incompetence situation but a deliberate false flag. One of many the US has caused in the lead up to this conflict.
This is meant to be a direct threat to Russia while accusing them of… Destroying their own pipeline? You know the one they get an immense amount of funding from while Europe is in an energy crisis but could just like… Shut off if they wanted for a much more clean and clear political flex if they were really behind this?
All this is an overt attempt at escalation with the US and EU lying to the world’s face confident that no one can call them on it because of how ostricized Russia is to the “global community” i.e. the liberal order they already control with impunity. They can afford to blatantly do this shit even when it’s obvious because theyre convinced no one under their influence can call them on it, and it makes a convenient excuse to blame the coming industrial collapse on Russia this winter. They see the writing on the wall of the blowback from their own actions and are already myth making to make sure every media outlet is prime to label every death or dollar lost from the energy crisis as another form of “Russian aggression.” Y’know, not the result of the collapse of the unipolar imperialist order. THAT would be a bad sign for investors! The ship is still afloat, it’s still a sound vessel, if only RUSSIA would stop trying to pump it full of water!
