Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Not just Biden and Nuland - excerpt from Natural News:

Resident Joe Biden, Russophobic State Department official Victoria Nuland and GOP Senator Ron Johnson are all on the record demanding the Nord Stream pipelines be taken out, implying they will use any means necessary to achieve that outcome.

Watch from 2:52 in the following exchange between Sen. Ron Johnson and Victoria Nuland, a known Russia hater and key architect of the corrupt Zelensky regime that openly cooperates with actual Nazis while stealing billions of dollars from US taxpayers:

Sen. Ron Johnson: “I can’t think of a more powerful way to punish Russian aggression than by rolling back what progress has been made, and if at all possible , prevent the Nord Stream 2 from ever being completed.”

Sen. Johnson: “…Taking action that will prevent it from EVER becoming operational.”

Nuland: “…Our expectation is that the pipeline will be suspended.”


Johnson: “I certainly hope that the Senate Foreign Relations committee would take up legislation that would go beyond just suspending it but ending it permanently.”

Article continues with the dire consequences of the pipeline sabotage and this:

Did the Biden regime just sabotage its own European allies in order to protect American industrial and currency dominance?​

As covered in this short podcast posted yesterday, financial analyst Tom Luongo believes that the US Federal Reserve is at war with the European Central Bank (ECB) in an effort to collapse the Euro, bankrupt European banks and maintain dollar dominance for years to come (with the Petrodollar status that allows seemingly unlimited money printing by the Fed).

The Fed’s repeated interest rate increases, combined with the war in Ukraine, are causing investors to flee Europe and leap to dollar-denominated instruments such as treasuries. The Fed has already indicated they will continue the rate increases until inflation is tamed, which in a practical sense means they will raise rates until something major breaks on the world finance stage. The first thing to break, it seems, is going to be European banks and potentially the ECB itself.

Blowing up Nord Stream pipelines accelerates the demise of the ECB and the Euro, leaving the United States as the dominant industrial and currency powerhouse of the western world. But it also underscores the stunning sense of panic among US Treasury and Fed officials, as they sacrifice their European allies to try to keep the fiat dollar afloat a little while longer, even as national debt approaches $31 trillion and the money printing machine goes into overdrive.

The recent $12+ billion approved for Ukraine is clearly just a coordinated final-stage looting of America’s coffers by the political elite who are fully aware that nearly all the currencies of western nations — including Japan and the United States — are on the brink of collapse.

We appear to be in a global state of world war right now, and the ruthless occupiers currently running the United States government are willing to plunge 100+ million Europeans into mass starvation, freezing and joblessness in order to buy a little more time for the US currency Ponzi scheme. With friends like Biden, Obama and Nuland, who needs enemies?

 
Just caught this from my nightly rounds, another leak was identified:

Fourth leak detected in damaged Nord Stream pipelines

The damaged Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines have a total of four gas leaks, Swedish daily SVT reported Wednesday, citing a source in the country's Coast Guard.

Initially, one leak was reported in one of the Nord Stream 2 sections and two in both Nord Stream 1 branches.

In its latest report on the emergencies, the Scandinavian country's Navy indicated that the leaks "probably" occurred due to sabotage. However, it stressed that at the moment "it is too early" to conclude who would be behind it.
 
From zerohedge:

Oil Rigs In Norway's North Sea Buzzed By Mysterious Drones
Norway has displaced Russia as Europe's top natural gas supplier as energy supply chains are rejiggered. According to Daily Mail, being the biggest supplier to the energy-stricken continent comes with risks, as the Scandinavian country's oil and gas rigs in the North Sea have been buzzed by mysterious drones.

The country's Petroleum Safety Authority warned these mysterious drones could unleash "deliberate attacks" on critical energy infrastructure and or even smash into a helicopter on an offshore oil rig to wreak havoc.

Energy minister Terje Aasland explained the government is "increasing security at infrastructure sites, land terminals and platforms on the Norwegian continental shelf."

Drones have buzzed at least six of Norwegian energy giant Equinor's offshore platforms, coming within the security perimeter of 500 meters. One drone flew within 50 meters of the Heidrun platform in the Norwegian Sea. The company notified authorities of drone sightings.

"The Scandinavian country has a vast network of pipelines linking it to the continent, which experts have said are at risk of sabotage," Daily Mail said.

This report comes as US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm alerted EU countries to increase security around energy assets, including LNG carriers en route to Europe.
[...]
Meanwhile, Norwegian energy giant Equinor raised the level of preparedness for all its energy-related assets, including supply locations, installations, helicopter bases, land facilities, and vessels, across Norway, local broadcaster NRK reported.

Security risks around LNG carriers are something we outlined before the pipeline attacks -- since EU states have had to source LNG via tankers due to dwindling Russian supplies via pipelines this summer, leaving many of these tankers sitting ducks in the open water.
There are a lot of LNG vessels floating around Europe.

And you never know what could be next...

 
I probably have missed it, but about what last line are you talking about?
Both Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 consist of 2 pipelines. So far they said that both pipelines of Nord Stream 1 and only one pipeline of Nord Stream 2 were damaged. But today they say that the fourth leakage was discovered:

Fourth leak found on Nord Stream pipelines, Swedish coast guard says​


Sweden's coast guard discovered a fourth gas leak on the damaged Nord Stream pipelines earlier this week, a spokesperson told the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper.

The European Union suspects sabotage was behind the gas leaks on the subsea Russian pipelines to Europe and has promised a "robust" response to any intentional disruption of its energy infrastructure.

"Two of these four are in Sweden's exclusive economic zone," coast guard spokesperson Jenny Larsson told the paper late on Wednesday. The other two breaches are in the Danish exclusive economic zone.


The coast guard did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on Thursday.

While neither pipeline was in use at the time of the suspected blasts, they were filled with gas that has been spewing out in the Baltic Sea since Monday's ruptures.

The fourth leak was on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, in close proximity to a larger hole found on the nearby Nord Stream 1, the Swedish coast guard said.

Well, that would then make two on Nord Stream 1 (1 DK the second, 1 SE the third) and two on Nord Stream 2 (1 DK the first, 1SE the fourth), assuming the last found by Sweden is in the Swedish zone.
 

The CIA warning Germany actually makes a lot of sense from their perspective: it most likely was a HUGE effort to convince the Germans to go along with the sanctions and especially not opening NS2. Even Scholz was very reluctant. We shouldn't forget that Germany spent big money on NS2 and probably thousands of people worked hard on it for years. Not to mention what it meant for Germany's industry and energy requirements.

Now by this CIA warning, the US basically said "listen, if you don't go along, we will blow it up anyway". This creates the following incentive structure for Germany (and the EU?): "either you see this through against the opposition in your own country, and will end up without a new pipeline etc., or you go against us, and you will not only face all the measures and shit storm we can level at you, but ALSO lose the pipeline because we will blow it up."
 
The Chinese take on the situation is expressed in the newspaper Global Times, which is close the Chinese leadership. Here is what some Chinese analysts think about it (from TG channel Intel Slave Z):
🇨🇳 The Chinese edition of the Global Times tried to figure out who benefited from the undermining of Russian gas pipelines. According to its experts, sabotage is beneficial to the United States

“It is quite obvious who wanted to stop selling Russian energy resources to Europe all this time – the United States of America! With this sabotage, the American government fulfilled three important foreign policy tasks at once: it reduced Russia's revenues from the sale of natural gas, increased its influence on European countries, and, among other things, received a good profit by increasing its own supplies of energy resources to Europe at high prices. Europe will suffer the most for the actions of American saboteurs,” Chinese analysts noted.

It looks like it is going like the investigation of MH 17. Russia is found guilty from the get go by the "golden billion" and excluded from the investigation. They will perhaps push for Russia to be designated as a "terrorist state", but I think the result will be different from what they have planned and a major blowback is coming. If it doesn't come from the people, it might come in the form of major earth changes as the C's have alluded to numerous times.
 
It would be interesting to know whether as part of underwater security regular CCT cameras cover the whole duration of the line. There's no mention of such on their maintenance page but one would imagine it would be the norm even though the following does seem to suggest a high degree of confidence in the long term integrity of the spec.

Maintenance​

Pipeline repairs are not expected to be necessary during Nord Stream’s minimum operational lifespan of 50 years. Owing to the high quality of the materials involved and the conservative design of the pipelines, damage and deformation are highly unlikely. In fact, the probability of pipeline failure or leakage is as low as one damage event every 100,000 years. Nevertheless, Nord Stream is ready for any situation as part of overseeing its certified system.

When it comes to gas transportation, different international bodies regulate health, safety and environmental performance. On top of all of these is the gold standard from the Norwegian certification body Det Norske Veritas (DNV), which specialises in risk management. Nord Stream is certified to DNV’s F101 offshore pipeline standard.

In the unlikely event that repairs are required, Nord Stream has developed an Emergency Pipeline Repair System (EPRS), is a member of the Equinor pipeline repair pool (which grants access to the equipment needed for hyperbaric welding), and has a warehouse filled with replacement pipes. The company is as prepared as it can be.

Having its operation certified yearly to the F101 DNV offshore pipeline standard, Nord Stream is committed to maintaining an ever-improving level of pipeline integrity management. The principle of dynamic integrity management is best illustrated by the frequency of internal and external pipeline surveys DNV requires Nord Stream to carry out. Initially, inspections are required annually. Each year, results are compared with those of the year before and, if nothing has changed after two or three years, the frequency of inspections could potentially be changed as long as the probability of something threatening the pipelines is minimal.

The company has created a repair strategy which models five potential scenarios. At one end of the spectrum is a minor event such as a scratch on the concrete coating. The other end concerns the worst and most unlikely event – a rupture of one of the pipelines. Each scenario requires the company to call on different resources. The final element of the offshore repair strategy involves a repair service with several contractors who would provide all the engineering, logistics, marine and construction work necessary to ensure the pipeline becomes operational again in the shortest period of time following the unlikely event of a major repair.

Of course, the maintenance and repair of the Nord Stream Pipelines does not end at the shoreline. At each landfall in Russia and Germany, contractors and staff are responsible for the regular maintenance, inspection and testing of equipment, which applies to the pipeline safety system, telecommunications system, power supply system, the fire and gas detection system, and security system, as well as the shutdown and isolation valves.

Being ready for 'any situation' must have included possible terrorist or sabotage attacks one would think. But with the location being in waters, where one would assume (?) the German end of the operational was responsible for oversight, (along with cooperation from Polish and Swedish authorities), what's the betting any observational/data collection mechanisms just happen to have malfunctioned for a period leading up to the explosions? Or we'll probably find its 'standard practice' to wipe any data every 48 hours. The investigators will no doubt start claiming the same old same old before long. Either that or they'll come up with underwater images of Russian divers holding up signs reading 'Putin sent me!'

They can plan whatever they want but we see Biden getting lost in his dementia more and more. I have good hopes he will one day simply admit on camera they are guilty. It is not unthinkable since he obviously often has no idea anymore where or even who he is.

Are USA public in the same condition as Bidet? Gun ownership is very widespread in US, where by law of big numbers there should be lots of patriots, but they just cover under the grass cowardly with weapons in their hand. Where is the old 'American Revolutionary War' spirit? I see them only incessantly complaining about being abused by Nazis in their government.
