I doubt even Joe Biden or his puppet master could be that geopolitically stupid.
[YouTube - The Drive] "Interestingly, this incident took place just one day after thousands of German protesters took to the streets and demanded the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline."
While Trump was right about the reliance these pipelines would create on Russia for the EU, this was not our real concern. Our issue with Nordstream 2 was purely about Germany and Russia growing closer by economic cooperation.
To fix this issue, we used Ukraine when we supported the coup government back in 2014 (although we'd been involved in the country to some degree for well over a decade before this). We knew we were putting Ukraine on a crash course with Russia - we didn't care. It could only end in a win-win for us. Through sanctions after Crimea returned to Russia, we attempted to force the Russians out of the arms market, reducing competition for our own arms sales.
Through the crisis we helped steer the aftermath of this into, laid the groundwork for the current war. The moment Zelensky spoke of potentially having Ukraine go nuclear, I knew the war was inevitable no matter what. That single statement just put forward the possibility of nuclear weapons right next to the Russian heartlands - exactly what Russia fears most. And so, the war began not long after.
Now, the war preyed upon EU idealism thats incredibly detached from reality. We used the Euro's own inflated ego and sense of self importance and moral superiority against them. We knew once this conflict began, EU ideals could not co-exist with Russian energy if it meant funding a war effort in Ukraine. We knew Nordstream 2 would sit there unused the moment this conflict broke out, and its almost comical that as it was approaching certification, that Ukraine suddenly decided 'turn the heat up' in Donbas by vastly increasing their military pressure in the area (which is when Russia evacuated civilians and not long after began their own military op in Ukraine). Such convenient timing.
Now, the EU failed to take into consideration, that the sanctions from back in 2014, gave Russia the foresight to know what the future would hold if it ever came down to a military solution in Ukraine. They'd been preparing for 8 years to weather such a storm, and diversified their economy and partnerships just enough to recover from the shock that sanctions of this magnitude would have. The ruble crashed, and then it recovered back to where it was prior and has remained stable.
Now the EU is trapped in a trap of its own making. They shot themselves critically when they attempted to destroy the economy that keeps their own economy alive. The war didn't end, and only continues to escalate. Europe's industries will crash and burn. Social unrest, unemployment, homelessness, exposure and hunger related strife, will become rampant, and now with Nordstream 1 and 2 gone, they have no escape hatch to avoid this crisis.
Seeking to survive this, Europe's industries will relocate conveniently to the US and save the dollar, while the euro collapses. Masterful plays, but disgusting. Even initially going along with the idea of price caps, muscling in on OPEC's interests, placed the EU on the shit list of the House of Saud, and moved them closer to Russia. Alienating them from other sources of energy, as we sever Nordstream 1 and 2 not long after.
Jackson Hinkle is one of the youngest Progressives on the political media landscape.A former candidate for San Clemente City Council – he was 19 at the time – Jackson has spent the majority of his young life working as a community organizer in California.
Progressive Background …
The bulk of his community outreach & organizing has focused on Progressive causes like Medicare For All, climate and sustainability, nuclear waste storage and American anti-imperialism.
In 2018, Jackson was the co-founder of Orange County Students For City Council, which helped mobilize young, progressive, and corporate-free students to run for city council seats across Orange County, California.
Progressive Media Launch …
In 2020, Jackson launched his own progressive Youtube media channel: The Dive w/ Jackson Hinkle.
The show’s tagline is ‘propaganda made by and for the proletariat‘.
The Future ..
Inspired by Progressives like Jimmy Dore, Jackson’s philosophical arrows take on both sides of the American duopoly.
The show’s episodes tend to focus on the happenings of the Progressives within Congress and the constant fumblings of media progressives in the Youtube & Twitter ecosystem.
Imagine if in response to Governor DeSantis sending migrant invaders to Martha’s Vineyard, the Biden administration blew up the Overseas Highway that connects the Florida Keys to the mainland. In response to Texas doing similar things, they knocked out part of the power grid in Texas. For good measure, they started a car bombing campaign against leading opponents of immigration. It may sound insane, but it is not too far from where we find ourselves.
Now, take it a step further and imagine that the major media outlets simply ignored these things entirely. You see clips on-line of the collapsed bridges in Florida, but you can find little about it in the news. They simply report that something happened and no one knows who did it. Maybe a few crackpots on these media platforms claim that DeSantis blew up the bridges as a false flag operation. Texas governor Greg Abbot is blowing up his power grid for the same reason.
This scenario is so ridiculous it would not pass muster with Hollywood studios as the basis for a political satire. Somehow, we have reached this moment. Last week, someone planted bombs near the Baltic Sea gas pipelines that bring natural gas from Russia to Europe. This caper required a great deal of coordination and technical skill, so it was not a group of kids. Everyone knows it was ordered by Washington and probably carried about by the American military.

#1 Poppycock! Now if they said that Trump and a cabal of Western Oil Tycoons used this as a way to get the European Mob to burn the European Greens at stakes erected at every intersection ...maybe. People that are starving and freezing in the dark tend to get a little irritable you might say.
But Biden ?!? Qui Bono?

This was not posted by me.
I posted separate posts, which have been smeared together, had stuff added, and unwanted editorial comments inserted designed to discredit the speaker. This is very dishonest to say that I posted it. Shame to whomever did this.

#9 I posted separate posts, which have been smeared together,
A number of posts from the same poster on the same subject, coming at it from the same perspective? Round these parts we regularly turn that into a roundup to make life easier for our readers, the alternative being that we pick one and delete the rest for the sake of efficient presentation of information.
The thing from Crazy Progressives about Mr. Hinkle was one of several sources, including from Mr. Hinkle himself, that thusly laid out his career thus far. The young gentleman is proud of being so active a Progressive activist and politician, and among his admirers is much admired for it.
The in-line comment in Post-It note yellow is by Fred Pruitt, our esteemed site owner, who started his career in military intelligence analysis during the Cold War and has leant a thing or million about how Russians think. Mine, in periwinkle, are merely procedural, as I’d already spent enough moderating time looking up Mr. Hinkle.

#11 Z-man is correct - the bizarre suppression by US media of this huge story inky serves to give away the game. The Biden people have gone from incompetence to total incoherence — mirroring Biden’s own downward cognitive arc.
This is the most important part of what Goob linked to:
The Europeans are a broken and defeated people, but even they have to be wondering what they have gotten themselves into with this Ukraine debacle. They eagerly signed up to be a “partner” with Washington in this great adventure to save Ukraine from the icy clutches of the Russian bear. Now, their economies are in collapse, their people are facing a winter without heat, governments are collapsing and their partner in all of this is now bombing their infrastructure. Some partnership.
The fact that the American media has been told to ignore this suggests Washington realizes they have a problem. It is hard to portray yourself as the good guy when you are bombing critical assets of your partners.
This is one of those unforced errors that confirms the suspicions people have been voicing in private. In this case, it is that the real threat to peace in Europe is Washington, not Russia. The self-proclaimed defender of freedom is, in fact, its greatest threat.
This may be why the Biden White House signed off on this caper. It is an act of desperation aimed at keeping the Europeans in line. Germany now must hope Washington supplies enough LNG to make it through winter.
That means the rest of Europe has to play ball with Washington, or face an economic collapse, as Germany is the economic engine of Europe. This act of terrorism was a warning to Europe that they better toe the line or else.

#12 Biden & Co. are literally at war with not just Russia but also Germany. They are attacking everyone now, like psychopathic children who’ve taken a bomber on a joy ride across Europe.
Why? What the hell is their goal? Just because.
Or, Why not? Yippee!

#13 Biden promised, and few others in his admin made the same statement:
If Russia invades UKR, we will shut down Nord Stream.
Their words. Biden is on video promising.

Yes. So fucking obvious.
And now the New York Times buries the story altogether.
And that congressional journal “The Hill” is pretending that forner Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski’s congratulatory victory lap (“Thank you, USA!”) was — are you sitting down? — sarcastic.
Yeah, sure, bitch. He wasn’t serious — uh-huh. Suuure.
So the Polish former Foreign Minister did NOT know that the USA & CIA orchestrated the destruction of Russia’s hood over Germany. Yup.
And they’re telling us Russia destroyed Russia’s influence. Riiiiight. What complete shitheads they are, to think they can get away with such ludicrous fairy tales as this.
This is like the delusions of those lunatics who still, to this day, believe that the Pentagon attacked the Pentagon on 9/11.
What utter shitheads we have leading the US now. A true kakocracy.
