I learned a long time ago, from an ex-cop, that when trying to figure out who committed a #crime, one has to consider 3 broad categories:

1. motive

2. means

3. opportunity

This video clip addresses category one, motive.

#Russia #Germany #USA #Nordstream #pipeline

In its zeal to attack perceived enemies, the *Empire of Chaos* occasionally reveals its hand. This makes a strong case for addressing motive.

Having established motive, the second category is means.

Did the *Empire of ‘La Cosa Nostra’* actually have the technological and logistical capacity to pull off the hit?

(Also note the date at the bottom. This is like leaving a calling card.)

The previous tweet also helps address the issue of the third and final category, opportunity.

Just like the confusion around the 9/11 attacks in 2001, what better time to attack something than when conducting a ✌🏽training mission✌🏽 that mimics attacking something? #Nordstream

For a good analysis of the overall #Nordstream hit job—integrating our 3 variables of motive, means, and opportunity—please check out the excellent work done by Moon of Alabama / @MoonofA.

Finally, after the hit, the gangster bros high-five each other on a “job well done.”

Okay, that’s it for now. If “you-know-who” should suddenly suspend this account for violating ________ [fill in the blank], well, now you know why.

Stay strong y’all, and continue to pay close attention. 🙋🏽‍♂️
