Monday night, first Nord Stream 2, and then Nord Stream were destroyed by explosions. The next day, Radek Sikorski, the former Foreign Minister of Poland and current Member of the European Parliament, tweeted a picture of the sea above the destroyed area of the pipelines, with the text “Thank you, USA.”
By way of explaining his meaning, Sikorski then retweeted a video of Joe Biden speaking on February 7: “If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine, then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” A reporter asked: “How will you do that exactly, since the project is under Germany’s control?” Biden responded, “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it,” followed by a smug grin.
Sikorski is the husband of American neocon Anne Applebaum, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a board member of the National Endowment for Democracy.
The terrorist attack on the pipeline significantly reduces the potential for German-Russian rapprochement and has made Poland one of the most pivotal energy hubs for Europe.
The Anglo-American masters of NATO stand to “gain” the most (in their way of thinking).
This summer’s BALTOPS exercises are reported by Seapower magazine to have involved “unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology.”
These operations were conducted in the area of the current explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines. “Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark,” the magazine reports, “with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring.”
Are these exercises related?
