The WSJ's "Real Story" of Nord Stream Sabotage Doesn't Add Up

[ZeroHedge] A recent Wall Street Journal article titled: A Drunken Evening, a Rented Yacht: The Real Story of the Nord Stream Pipeline Sabotage claims a rogue Ukrainian general, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, and a small team of commandos were responsible for the September 2022 destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines. However, this report offers little new information, mostly rehashing details that surfaced over a year ago. That article’s timing and content raise questions about its intent, particularly given the complexities involved in such a high-stakes operation.

Matt Riley argues below that the operation described by the WSJ is highly improbable. His main points summarized are:

The Nord Stream operation required capabilities far beyond those of the alleged perpetrators.

The WSJ story seems more like a strategic narrative designed to distract from the real culprits and manage geopolitical tensions, with potential darker motives behind its publication.

The suggestion that Zaluzhniy, now the Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, could be targeted in a false flag operation to further escalate tensions with Russia is particularly concerning.

The whole narrative appears to be setting the stage for a possible escalation, leveraging public perceptions to justify further conflict.

This is a detailed explanation by Matt Riley, a former Naval Marine Engineer Diving Officer and Intelligence Interrogator.

#2 Oh gimme a fucking break. The USA's underwater demolition teams did it.
Looks like they're ready to dump Zelensky and install a new stooge.

#4 The Russians did it , They had multi year contracts with the Europeans at very low prices compared to market prices at the time.when the pipeline blew up the could declare Force De Majuer, that would allow them out of the low priced contracts to sell at the higher market price…..
