Exploring the Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage
Thread aheadImage
Curious who really blew up the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022, cutting off Europe’s gas lifeline? From NATO drones to U.S. threats and a mysterious yacht, this geopolitical whodunit is packed with twists that’ll leave you questioning everything. Dive into the mystery with me! 👇
1) The Event

In September 2022, a series of underwater explosions ruptured Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea, near Denmark’s Bornholm Island, halting Russian natural gas flows to Germany.

Around 300,000 tonnes of methane bubbled to the surface, one of the largest such leaks ever recorded, driving energy prices sky-high across Europe. Swedish,

Danish, and German authorities confirmed it was sabotage, deliberate blasts at depths of 70-80 meters, but no official perpetrator has been identified as of April 2025. What really happened here?

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Bucha Unmasked: A Web of Doubt
ThreadImage
🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Something’s off about Bucha, Ukraine, April 2022. The official story blames Russia, yet the timeline wavers, bodies shift, and questions linger. Staged scenes? Blocked debates? Unseen satellite shots?
Dive into the weirdness and decide for yourself. 👇
1) Peace Before the Storm?
Russian troops occupied Bucha from early March. Some suggest life went on, with claims of interactions like sharing food. Why the sudden shift to mass murders just before leaving?

🧵 NATO: Defense Pact or Global Enforcer?
The 1999 Yugoslavia Lie.Image
1/9 Think NATO’s just a cozy defense club? Think again. In 1999, they bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days, no attack on NATO soil, no UN approval, just raw aggression. They sold it as “saving lives,” but was it really about power, expansion, and rewriting the rules? Here’s the story 👇Image
2/9 - How It Started: The Official Story
On March 24, 1999, NATO launched Operation Allied Force, a 78-day bombing campaign against Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). The excuse? Stopping a humanitarian crisis, ethnic cleansing, and potential genocide by Serbian forces against Kosovar Albanians in Kosovo.

After failed talks at Rambouillet, where Slobodan Milošević rejected NATO troops on his soil, events like the Račak Massacre (45 Albanians killed) were hyped as proof of escalating violence. NATO called it a “humanitarian war,” with U.S. officials like Madeleine Albright claiming genocide was underway, and William Cohen hinting at 100,000 dead Albanian men.

🧵 Thread: Mark Rutte as NATO head? A disgrace to integrity.Image
1) The Rise of a Scandal-Plagued Leader
Mark Rutte, Dutch PM, is now NATO’s next leader. A man buried­ buried in scandals, caught lying repeatedly, yet always clinging to power. How does someone with this track record land one of the world’s most critical roles?
Let’s take a lookImage
2) The Devastating Benefits Scandal
Start with the Benefits Scandal (Toeslagenaffaire). In 2021, Rutte’s government fell after over 20,000 parents were falsely accused of childcare fraud. A merciless tax system he oversaw mislabeled them as cheats, demanding repayments they couldn’t afford – often tens of thousands of euros. Families went bankrupt, homes were lost, and the trauma didn’t stop there. In the worst cases, children were forcibly removed from parents because the financial ruin was deemed “neglect.” Imagine: a mother or father, already crushed by debt they didn’t owe, watching their kids taken away by the state – all because of a bureaucratic nightmare Rutte’s administration let fester. He offered a half-hearted apology, then sailed back into power after elections.Image

🇺🇦🧵 Did you know how Zelensky became president?

1) Zelensky didn’t win with political skills. A TV series and a cunning oligarch catapulted him to power. Wild, huh? Thread below spills the insane details!Image
2) Ever wonder how a comedian became Ukraine’s president? It wasn’t talent in politics! It was a genius TV plot.
Here’s how it unfolded… 👇
3) Imagine a world where a TV star steps out of a fictional role and into the real life presidency of a nation. This isn’t a far fetched fantasy, it’s the astonishing story of how Volodymyr Zelensky became the President of Ukraine, thanks to a brilliantly unconventional strategy that required no traditional political skills. Instead, it was a wildly clever blend of entertainment and politics, orchestrated by a savvy oligarch and fueled by a hit television series.

🇸🇾🧵 HTS Hell: Syria’s Brutal Truth Unleashed
Forgot the day HTS stormed Syria and the pathetic West cheered, flooding streets with flags, celebrating the fall of Assad’s so called 'dictatorship'?
Let’s shove it in their faces with a (running) thread exposing every last atrocity
🇸🇾🧵Do we not recall how the West took the vilest terrorist scum on earth, slapped a “moderate rebels” label on them, and rolled out the red carpet - suits and all - for these monsters to shake hands with their slimy politicians?
🇸🇾🧵 Jolani terrorists chase a man down while smiling before gunning him down .
“You aren’t dead yet?” They say before putting more bullets in him.
