An opportune moment to RT this thread from October and my greatest admiration to Seymour Hersh for breaking the details of this latest outrage plotted by a treacherous foreign policy cabal

It's always tricky to understand why the USA allows treacherous scum like this to run their foreign policy

Evidence of motive & incriminating statements (1)

The RAND Corporation published a report in 2019, ordered by the US Army, on how to extend and weaken Russia. The report advocated that “A first step would involve stopping Nord Stream 2.

In July 2020, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned:

"We will do everything we can to make sure that that pipeline doesn’t threaten Europe.”

The Nord Stream pipeline was frequently threatened as the conflict in Ukraine intensified. US Senator Tom Cotton stated in May 2021 that “there is still time to stop it… Kill Nord Stream 2 now, and let it rust beneath the waves of the Baltic”.

On 14 January 2022, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan asserted: “We have made clear to the Russians that pipeline is at risk if they move further into Ukraine.”

On 3 February, Senator Ted Cruz called for the end of Nord Stream: “This pipeline must be stopped and the only way to prevent its completion is to use all the tools available to do that.

On 7 February 2022, President Biden stood next to German Chancellor Scholz as he warned that if Russia invades Ukraine then “there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Asked by a journalist how he would destroy something under German control, Biden responded: “I promise you, we will be able to do that”.

Undersecretary of State for Policy, Victoria Nuland, also repeated the threat: “I want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.”

On 26 September 2022 the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed.

The next day, on 27 September 2022, leaders from Poland, Norway & Denmark attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the new Norway-Poland Baltic Pipe that would replace the dependence on Nord Stream.

Post Nord Stream attack comments

Former Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted “Thank you, USA,” accompanied by a picture of the destroyed pipeline.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken argued that the destruction of Nord Stream presents “a tremendous opportunity. It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy.”

Blinken also offered to assist Western Europe by replacing Russian gas with much more expensive American fuel.

Nuland also commented post attack:

“I am, and I think the Administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.”
