#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?

#2 "Quietly" was it ?

FOX News, 13 Sept 2022 - Navy quietly rolled back punishments for SEALs seeking religious exemptions to the COVID vaccine.

#3 "Posted by:Goober Wittlesbach1280"

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.

#5 Putie's pipeline perforation is bringing out the delusional ~~progressives~~ commies from the woodwork. Like moths to a flame.

#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.

#10 Explosions were not simultaneous or even really close, not consistent with sabotage.

#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.

#15 You guys are so transparently trolling with this obvious horse shit devoid of any verifiable facts, just innuendo.

Why so desperate?
