@Lv10noob@NavyLookout If there was a high chance it was RU navy, and some evidence seems to exists already, they would get a full blockade through DK straight for sabotage/ecological impact and #NS would get immediately revoked its permits.
A NATO member most likely did it, outside NATO structures.
@Lv10noob@NavyLookout And only a nuclear power could fit the suspect profile. So US, FRA and UK.
The USA has been warning Germans in early September about possible sabotage.
Public has no direct evidence but circumstantial evidence hints to UK.
Unless proven innocent the UK is suspect.
@Lv10noob@NavyLookout Denmark has physical evidence: On Brnonholm there are hydro-acoustic station.
DK PM flew 3d after to UK and looked very very upset.
SWE has sonar data from their ships which caught a submarine before the sabotage.
US has data from P8 from several encounters with the sub.
@Lv10noob@NavyLookout Samples were taken, forensic evidence and trace evidence could narrow down suspects further.
Only 3/4 succeeded. First was done the norther #NS1 which would be easier to restart, during work on NS2 the sub was disturbed by SWE patrol navy and mission partially failed.
@Lv10noob@NavyLookout What I showed on the picture is MHS S120, sub which returned in early October from mission. It's back hull is covered. Astute class could be fitted with Chalfont hangar.
Several teams of investigators including EU's Eurojust is looking for Corroborating evidence. This option
- UK very anti Russian
- US hesitant to escalate
- EU compromising
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 ...
