How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now

So, America should only intervene or take action if it involves a country where it can ply valuable resources from?I get disgusted every time I see this stupid ignorant thread pop back up to the first page. There is no Ukraine crisis as far as the United States is concerned. The only Ukraine crisis that exists is the Ukraine crisis in the minds of idiots who suffer from Trump derangement syndrome, and it's partner Putin derangement syndrome.
One more time for the idiots and the morons on the left, and the gomer who created this thread:: The United States has no interests in the Ukraine. We get no oil from there, we get no precious resources from there, it is not in our sphere of influence, it is a corrupt nation which is just as corrupt as Russia or Bolivia or any other of the corrupt banana regimes. We have no business there, it is a former Soviet socialist Republic, it is on the border of Russia, and it is their affair. The Russians had no business in Cuba next to our border, and we have no business in the Ukraine next to their border.
Now, does that finally sink in?
Meanwhile, communist China most certainly does threaten our national interests, more than I can get into.
China has been selling us faulty military parts that has caused our fighter jets to be grounded, China has been buying up property next to military installations in case you guys forgot, China has literally been building military islands in the Pacific Ocean, China has been exercising threatening military exercises near and even over Taiwan, and as we all know they recently flew a spy balloon right over our nuclear facilities and our senile pedophile president was too weak and cowardly to do anything about it.
[Moderator edit: profanity removed.] I am sick of hearing about the Ukraine. The Ukraine is none of our business.
China is the current threat. We need to focus all of our attention and resources on China.
He's an embarrassment to his own country and even his own regime, many of whom want him out.Turns out that big, bad Putin is a paper tiger who is getting his bum spanked hard. Surprise!
I haven't been although I'm at college with three Ukrainian women who are refugees and it's humbling how they cope with such devastating war in their own country along with being uprooted as they have. Great post Pete and it puts the trolls and Putin apologists to absolute shame.I wonder how many people commenting on this crisis have been to Ukraine? I have, twice. It’s a beautiful country with lovely and hospitable people, but has many problems with poverty and corruption. The fact of the matter is that Ukrainians don’t want to be Russian, and Russia has attacked a country which has done nothing wrong. Ukrainians are a proud people who don’t want war. As always, it’s innocent Ukrainians who are the ones to suffer the most. I have friends currently stuck in the bomb shelters of Kyiv in fear of their lives.
Regardless of what’s happening in Ukraine, my biggest worry is what if he doesn’t stop there? Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and possibly Bulgaria and the Balkan states of Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia are now all at risk. If we do nothing now, what will anyone do if Putin decides to occupy these countries? For me personally, many of my friends and much of my life is in Poland. I fear for them, with fighting currently going on less than 100 miles from the border.
What can we do? I think the worst possible option is to do nothing.
This has been happening over a matter of months, correct?
At stake is ... the cooling system at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
The fact that it's controlled by Russian forces is cause for concern in itself...Russia is draining a massive Ukrainian reservoir, endangering a nuclear plant
Russia appears to be draining an enormous reservoir in Ukraine, imperiling drinking water, agricultural production and safety at Europe's largest nuclear plant, according to satellite data obtained by NPR.
Since early November 2022, water has been gushing out of the Kakhovka Reservoir, in Southern Ukraine, through sluice gates at a critical hydroelectric power plant controlled by Russian forces. As a result, satellite data shows that the water level at the reservoir has plummeted to its lowest point in three decades.
At stake is drinking water for hundreds of thousands of residents, irrigation for nearly half-a-million acres of farmland, and the cooling system at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

It risks an escalation? Who would have thought. What worries me the most about Nord-Gate is Russia’s lack of any public reaction. They haven’t taken it up at the United Nations. They haven’t blasted us with recriminations in their psyops network. They haven’t blown up our undersea internet cables. But I can’t imagine Russia is just going to chalk up their lost pipelines as “one of those things” that sometimes happens between neighbors, and you just have to set it aside to get along.Russian decisions are characterized by a strong distrust of Western intentions. This perception has been significantly reinforced as a result of the West’s reaction to the invasion of Ukraine. Both the likelihood of misunderstandings between Russia and NATO and unintended incidents increase, which in turn increases the risk of escalation.
I think you mean thanks Joe you Filthy RapistThanks, Joe!
There should be a cartoon of Joe the Rapist hugging Zelenskyy, with Biden stuffing a big wad of cash in Zelenskyy's back pocket, and Zelenskyy shoving the 10% cut into Joe the Rapist's back pocket
