Ukraine’s conflict with Russia is “as much our war as it is theirs”, the UK’s minister for defence procurement has said.
He said the war’s infringement on people’s freedom, and its impact on the UK’s fuel and food supplies, makes it “as much our war as it is theirs”.
“That would embolden Russia, it would embolden Putin, it would be a direct threat to Nato, which we are absolutely crystal clear that any invasion of Nato territory triggers Article 5.
“Fundamentally, this is a fight against a fascist dictatorship.”

???
Is he just explaining to the crew that it was a justified case to blow the NordStream?
This is a bit weird. The timing, the sub, the case... Am I just discovering that Ambush blew the #Nordstream???
Are they just removing the Dry Deck Shelter (DDS) ?
In UK service it is formally named the Special Forces Payload Bay (SFPB) and was procured under ‘project CHALFONT’, although submariners nickname it “the caravan of death”

The #NS - signal to allies: "We can not trade with Russia, pay them to wage war, we must Unite against them! Pipes sanctioned, unused anyway, cost small compared to our case"
@bidetmarxman@KitKlarenberg Note how Stoltenberg met with Ursula just hours before the blow happened. Next day new round of sanctioned happened.
0The RESPONSE to the Crimean bridge was expected to be brutal retaliation. Public is kept in anti Russian mood.
@CarloMazzone6@VictorTheClean3@garatupan@vtchakarova Yes. VitC used to have these great charts for Iraq, Libya which show oil production increase on background of wars. Each time they got to some level the external thing happened and excess was removed.
Once Another said that US is not in Gulf to steal the oil, it is there for ...
West tells a unified message: "sabotage on critical infrastructure".
Russia states: International terrorism and huge ecological disaster.
West says Russia DESTROYED own pipelines.
See the problem?
If yes ot not just follow... 1/n
Why is WEST/NATO not stating that Russia has caused HUGE ecological disaster? Why is Russia not blamed as a state terrorist actor?
West already tried to frame Russia as a country supporting terrorism. Now there would be excellent chance to top that and have a case why it is, no?
Why is SWE, DK, even other NATO states NOT calling for it to be a natural disaster already? The glass kills marine life, lots of it. There will be a dead zone.
Fishing companies must be furious.
The direct and indirect cost of this will be huge.
