Nord Stream Explosions Investigations: What We Know So Far | WSJ

Western investigators have shifted focus as they search for answers behind explosions on the Nord Stream gas pipelines last September. Months after considerable leaks halted gas flow from Russia, German prosecutors appeared to mark a significant shift in the investigation.

So let me get this straight. A couple of Ukrainians somehow brought with them all the way from Ukraine to the Baltic Sea 1000 pounds of plastic explosives plus industrial diving gear and underwater demolition tools. They rented a small boat, stuffed it with all of that equipment without nobody noticing. Then they went to the location of the pipeline, found it, rigged it with half a ton of explosives in four places and sailed away all in one night. Sure, that's very believable. Piece of cake. By the way WSJ has another article in the economy section about a brand new bridge that's for sale and it's very, very cheap. Anyone interested?

@@waynew2835 All evidence points to Russia. Several of Russian "research" vessels has been observed in the exact areas of the blasts acting very suspiciously based on tracking data and communications from the vessels. These includes the Sibirjakov and Lomonosov, as well as, the SS-750 ships and they all have the capability of underwater operations. It is rather blatant behavior but then again Russia and Putin would not even care if we had video evidence of them doing it as they would deny it nonetheless. After all Sergey Lavrov went as far as claiming Ukraine started the war. Most Russians are unfortunately conditioned to accept whatever the authorities claim as the truth regardless of how ludicrous it is and blaming the west for this is a perfect narrative for Putin to gain support for his war. Biden really played into Putin's hands by stating that the US would stop the pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine. That of course was never necessary since Germany never turned on Nord Steam 2 and Russia shut off Nord Stream 1. The pipelines were of no use to Putin anyway, but he left one intact just in case Germany got desperate. If Ukraine or US were behind it, surely they would have blown up all 4 pipelines.

Based on recent investigations it seems likely that the Russian research vessels Sibirjakov and Lomonosov in cooperation with the Russian submarine Kronsjtadt installed the explosives during very suspicious activity around the area where the Nord Stream pipelines exploded in the period of June 7th - 15th based on tracking data and various communications from the vessels. They both had equipment onboard that would enable them to carry out such an underwater operation.

And the biggest question, why only completely destroyed the old pipeline and only damage the new pipeline, the one Biden threaded to stop?

[@musiconabudget3712]

They really think we are that dumb huh. Stop insulting the people and come up with a better cover up story lol

[@bigredone1030]

I can make a better cover story in the morning after my coffee

[@dcazal011]

Seymor may sue the administration. Ask somebody under oath. it is so easy.

[@nos4me]

He won’t because he made the story up. If he didn’t make it up then his source made it up and he was dumb enough to believe what seems like a 6th grade attempt at imitating Tom Clancy

THIS WAS HIT WITH AN UNDER WATER MISSLE STRIKE, WITH SPECIALIZED EXPLOSIVES NOT TNT.

[@NisarKhan-yr3px]

The funniest thing is everyone knows that it was performed by USA . but it is a big joke to blame it on Russia who genuinely need this pipeline for money. 🤣🤣🤣.

[@darylw1656]

Oh! Look! A shiny object!

[@Luckyduckarwood]

On 26 September at 02:03 local time (CEST), an explosion was detected originating from Nord Stream 2; a pressure drop in the pipeline was reported and natural gas began escaping to the surface southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. Moments before a Navy P-8 Poseidon was observed within range making a run on Nord Stream just prior to the explosions... The U.S. Navy's P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft now have another weapon in their arsenal, the High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability, or HAAWC. The service has now declared initial operational capability, or IOC, with HAAWC, which transforms air-dropped Mk 54 lightweight anti-submarine torpedoes into long-range, quickly-delivered standoff weapons ...

[@gorkarullan]

Just come to say that… the explanation that they are giving now is wrong. Some of the points of the pipes are at 75m depth… and you need special equipament, a lot of them, to do this job. You CAN NOT do it from a small ship like this… probably was the CIA or the MI6… but is imposible to do this job from this sail boat. My big brother was a special diver and the other is a sailor… you need compresor, generators, equipament… is imposible. They need a support ship a big one. Don’t belive all you see or come from the Inteligens companies …

The name of the yacht is andromeda. It is from Greek mythology and a metaphor for the current situation in Ukraine. Read about Andromeda.

This was done by USA and Norway under the cover of Nato Baltic 22. And it is easy to prove: Just ask somebody under oath.

Don't be fooled. Our own CIA had a hand in this.

Both hands

Weird how a major ops like this takes place and they use their original Ukrainian passports. How were they able to use a civilian water craft to locate the pipe.

Categoric@lly no yacht involved. Look at the video evidence.

[@kevinjenner9502]

Aside from the CIA/US Navy planning and prep, the remote detonation was likely outsourced to a client state (Norway?) to preserve plausible deniability.

[@mr.factoid105]

Maybe Ukrainian operatives under CIA?Nordic planning

[@5lanediver]

nah they definitely just had black ops do it. why would you include a 3rd state and possibly screw things up?

Wonder is there a market for "I blew up Nordstream" tshirts?

Roflmfao, nevermind you can look at public records and see which american destroyers were there and which helicopters went on a "patrol" and even their tail numbers on the day it happened.
