"Tell Merkel... I want her to know it was me."
A thread => 1/6

Many people seem to be accusing either Russia or the US on the nord stream bombings. Now Russia famously likes to shoot itself in the foot, but would this US administration commit state sponsored terrorism on EU soil without the ascent of a major european power ? I think not. 2/6

One of France's most elite SF are combat divers, also called frog men. In France they are called commando marines, one unit of which, clandestinely, belongs to the the DGSE, France's foreign intelligence agency. Ever heard of the Rainbow Warrior ? The president asks, they do. 3/6

These combat divers can be launched from submarines, France being one operator of very good, very stealthy nuclear ones, which I will add, Macron personally knows how to operate. This picture is him getting dropped into one. 4/6

Coincidentally, France has released no statement at time, and has had famously a very stealthy approach to helping Ukraine. Would doing this also coincide with long term economic and political objectives ? Maybe. Did they do it ? I didn't say that. 5/6

TWO TAKEAWAYS: 1. The point of the #Nordstream s is to prevent "energy blackmailing" from countries under Russian threat (See Ukraine 2014) 2. This happens after Germany has finished constituting their stockpile of gas for winter. A measure of good will, a slap in a silk glove.

The Republic is once more covered in glory through dunking on germans.
