"Apparent Sabotage Disables Nord Stream 1 and 2 Cutting Off All Direct Gas Supply To Germany From Russia." Eugyppius Substack
There is a LOT of material in this post about the roots of this conflict. It will take time, but I believe it is free from misdirection or BS

Insane in the Ukraine

The Ukrainian military has launched a counter-offensive in the Kharkov region. There are many hot takes about this. We are not going to provide you with a Military Analysis. Instead, we will offer a brief overview of how we arrived at the current state of affairs—and ask the simplest of q…

Comment from here (@TTB) On The US’ Self Appointed Entitlement to Regime Change:

“Word out of Europe: “someone” has sabotaged the Nordstream 1 and 2 pipelines which takes them off the table as negotiating points with Putin. The Biden Administration will no doubt blame Putin without a shred of common sense behind it. Why would Putin destroy his trump card? So the US war mongers have sacrificed The Germans to keep this war going because it takes a submarine to target the pipeline and the US wants Putin gone. The plebiscite in the occupied territories will be called fraudulent by the West if it appears to go for annexation and Putin is threatening nuclear war if NATO continues shelling there after the territory is annexed. The neocon crazies at our State Dept and NATO have succeeded in creating a nuclear confrontation with no upside for Europe! Clinton and Obama created this unnecessary mess in the name of the corrupt failed policy known as “regime change” and Biden is bringing it to fruition.”

Battlefield Ukraine—a 61 Page Analysis By Michael Grandt

Now to quote from a document I received this morning and will link below, that contains way more granular historical detail than we have grown accustomed to:

I got this email today from Paul Charles Gregory, another blessing of a human:

“Please pass this on to C W Thompson and maybe to others.

"Battlefield Ukraine" is a brochure of 61 pages by Michael Grandt, which has now been translated from German. It is about the historical background to the conflict, going back to 1990.

Among other topics it addresses, very seriously, in a balanced way and with supporting details, the issues:

Did the West really promise there would be no NATO expansion eastwards?

Why was Putin’s outstretched hand to the West withdrawn?

It is available at http://docs.shortxxvids.com/battlefield_ukraine.html Click on the German cover page for the English. (The translator Howard Steen and myself have personal permission from the author.) “

Here is a quote from the text which jumped out at me as I began to read it:

“The decision of the Americans to expand NATO up to the borders of Russia was already in 1997 deemed by the historian and diplomat George F. Kennan as “the most fateful failure of American politics in the era after the Cold War.” (34)

Kennan prophesied: “This decision could be expected to inflame nationalistic, anti-west and military tendencies in Russian opinion; to have a damaging influence on the development of democracy in Russia, such that the atmosphere of the Cold War in terms of the relationship between East and West would again be created and Russian foreign policy would pivot in a direction which will be decidedly displeasing to us”. (35)

The Soviet Union felt itself deceived and henceforth saw NATO as an expansive opponent and no longer as a purely defensive coalition.”

Nord Stream Attack Updates
United States complicity seems increasingly to be an open secret.
eugyppius1 hr ago

Radosław Sikorski, MEP, former Polish defence minister and husband of well-connected neoconservative intellectual Anne Appelbaum, has publicly thanked the United States for attacking the Nord Stream pipelines.


Jim Geraghty, senior political correspondent for the American political journal National Review, has also praised the attacks in a brief column under the headline “Who Will Rid Me of This Meddlesome Pipeline?” He’s been arguing about the importance of taking Nord Stream 2 offline since February, and suggests that the present attacks reflect his influence.

The biggest detail to break since I went to sleep yesterday, is this claim made by an anonymous intelligence source to Der Spiegel, that the CIA had warned Germany of Baltic pipeline attacks over the summer:

The United States warned the German government weeks ago of possible attacks on gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. According to information from SPIEGEL, a corresponding tip from the US intelligence service CIA was received in Berlin in the summer.

Several persons familiar with the matter confirmed this. …

Even before the invasion of Ukraine, Nato partners had repeatedly pointed to suspicious activities of Russian ships over nodes of the underwater networks.

However, an initial analysis of satellite images from the area of the incidents showed only inconspicuous ship traffic at first glance, security circles said.

The Tagesspiegel has a longer piecetoday trying to come up with a plausible motive for Russia. They imagine that a Russian attack might have had the purpose of allowing Gazprom to escape contractual requirements to deliver gas through Nord Stream 1, thus driving European energy prices higher. Alternatively, they propose it might’ve been a ruse to circumvent sanctions for the repair of the pipeline. To even retype these theses is to reveal their infirmity.

The damage is expected to be extensive, and the gas will probably continue to vent for up to two weeks. The company that operates Nord Stream 1 has not ruled out a repair attempt. Nord Stream 2 AG spokesman Ulrich Lissek told NDR that images of the venting gas suggest that “the structural integrity of the pipeline must be massively damaged.”

Meanwhile, the German and EU officials have promised to get to the bottom of this and threatened the saboteur with sanctions.

For more, see the updates to yesterday’s post.

UPDATE: One speculative point I’m been thinking about, is it looks like the attacks were partially botched. According to all reports, one of the Nord Stream 2 pipes has not been ruptured, and about 17 hours passed between the first and second explosions. Ideally they would’ve cut all four pipes simultaneously, no?
