Robert Bridge – Strategic Review Sept 29, 2022
With an investigation continuing into the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline that provided energy supplies to Europe from Russia, there appears to be just one prime suspect, and that should surprise nobody.
Following the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski already seemed to know the identity of the perpetrator when he tweeted out: “Thank you, USA.”
At first glance, it seemed that Sikorski was speaking sarcastically, berating Washington for carrying out an attack that will have severe repercussions for the people of Europe. After all, how could anyone see any good coming from the termination of Europe’s primary source of gas reserves with winter just around the corner? It was Sikorski’s homeland of Poland, after all, that urged its citizens to collect firewood in the face of dwindling gas reserves.
In fact, the Polish diplomat was speaking one-hundred percent literally, thanking the United States for plunging the continent deeper into the abyss. This has been the attitude of European leaders from the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine: ‘we will accept our self-destruction as scripted by Washington policymakers so long as the baddies in Moscow hears our virtue-signaling whimpers and screams.’ European capitals are about to learn the hard way that virtue signaling does not put food on the table or heat homes.
Judging by the rising temperature in Europe, however, last seen in Italy where a far-right leader has come to power on the wave of voters fed up with high electricity bills and loose immigration, the phrase ‘Thank you, USA’ may eventually be chiseled into Europe’s tombstone.
But first, the big question: was the United States really responsible for the destruction of Nord Stream, as Sikorski seems to believe? Well, if we were are to take bumbling Joe Biden at his word, then the answer would seem to be yes.
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again, then there will be — there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” the U.S. leader told reporters two weeks before Russia began its Ukrainian mission. “We will bring an end to it.”
When asked to specify, Biden responded, “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”
There are other clues that point to American complicity.
On September 2, an American helicopter with the call sign FFAB123 was observed maneuvering in the area of the Nord Stream pipelines. According to the site ads-b.nl, six aircraft used this call sign that day, of which the tail numbers of three were established. All of them were Sikorsky MH-60S. By overlaying the FFAB123 route on the scheme marking the areas of the explosions, it is observable that the helicopter either flew along the Nord Stream-2 route, or exactly between the points where the ‘accident’ occurred.
Meanwhile, on Twitter, there are screenshots of other American aircraft flights as of September 13th in exactly the same area. In June there was an article in Sea Power magazine where the Americans boast of experiments in the field of underwater drones that they set up at the BALTOPS 22 exercises – in the area of Bornholm Island, the Danish island where the explosions were reported to have occurred.
“Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68,” Sea Power reports.
Such an “experiment” would have required the deep-sea equipment needed for reaching the depths where the Nord Stream pipelines are located.
Finally, here’s one last tantalizing piece of information for all of the ‘coincidence theorists’ out there. On the day after Nord Stream 1 and 2 went offline, Poland, Norway and Denmark’s leaders attended the opening ceremony of the new Baltic Pipe, which will transport natural gas from Norway via Denmark and through the Baltic Sea to, yes, Sikorski’s ferociously Russophobic homeland of Poland. Yes, just a coincidence.
However, the main motivating factor for Washington having a hand in destroying Nord Stream is the awesome powers – both financial and political – that it will reap. The economic crisis in Europe is already forcing companies and corporations to consider relocating to the U.S., which is providing a better business environment and more or less affordable electricity bills.
And after the destruction of Nord Stream, the economic situation on the continent will deteriorate significantly. Even though the NS-II was not launched, there was the chance of its launch, and this “chance” had a considerable effect on the market. Now, without its main energy supplier, Europe is doomed while America will soar.
The economic destruction of Europe makes it totally dependent on the U.S. economically, politically, and militarily, turning it into a toothless tiger with no political will and independence. At the same time, Europe will become almost completely dependent on the U.S. for its (prohibitive) gas. The United States plans to supply at least 15 billion cubic metres (bcm) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to European Union markets this year as Europe seeks to wean itself off Russian gas supplies.
In other words, the transformation of the EU into a banana republic – albeit it one in the northern hemisphere with winter quickly approaching – has already begun.
Europe, you really should have heeded the advice of Henry Kissinger, who understands the nature of the U.S. better than anyone: “To be an enemy of the U.S. is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.”
Not only Biden, but Victoria Nuland and Condoleza Rice, has spoken out against the Nordstream-project!
This should be a game-changer. At least for the masses.
The paid lackeys goes to any length!

What Kissinger really meant was “To be an enemy of the Khazarian mafia is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal”. Thus lies the fatal fate the US has taken under their direction.
all baltic sea neighbours were
anyway against northstream from
the beginning . germany should
better have taken russian gas only
liquid from ships .
who knows ?
is Methan gas heavier or lighter
than normal airpressure ? will
it evaporate in air or stay as layer
at sealevel choking all seamen ?
if it stays at sealevel in calm it can
be ignited by seamans cigarette .
My hypothesis is:
The globalist private central fiat bankers hired a mercenary team of demolition experts, not from any country in particular, to blow two holes in each of Nord stream one and two (four holes total) to exacerbate the european energy problem, to force european countries to have to accept their central bank digital currency in order to pay hyperinflation energy prices.
No functioning pipeline means no possibility of reconcilliation between europe and Russia to get inexpensive energy flowing again.
The non-national globalists blew up the pipeline to further their great reset including central bank digital currency slavery to everyone.
The globalist hired demolition mercenaries may have been from Mossad.

Addendum: No CBDC app on your phone means no CBDC coins to pay your energy bills.
We don’t know how many different moves ahead the Russians or the Americans have planned in this chess game but I’m sure the Russians plan further, and I think it’s likely they war-gamed the Americans making a major attack on their infrastructure or vital assets. It’s quite possible they looked at their pipelines being blown; and even if they thought not even the Americans would be so foolish as to do that, they must at least have considered it. And therefore they must have considered their response[s].
Thinking several more moves ahead Russia may have already planned their revenge. Maybe hole just a few LNG tankers below the water line so the crews are safe but the vessels are lost and make insurance for LNG transport unaffordable? A few problems like that (which the world may enjoy!) could bring the US regime to the the most devastating position possible – being made to negotiate and compromise.
Europeans, with the loss of NS1 and NS2, deserve to be cold and hungry. Europeans did this to themselves. Maybe fearing and worshipping JEWS is not so funny now……………….

Methane is lighter than air.
There are natural methane deposits under the oceans. When the gas escapes from the sea bed, it is consumed by microbes, which prevent the CO4 from reaching the atmosphere. The question here is, whether the fail-safe of the Baltic Sea’s eco-system can cope with multiple, simultaneous and voluminous methane gas emissions. I hope so but I doubt it.
The preposterous irony is that methane is a greenhouse gas. It contributes to global warming, we’re told. That’s why cows ought to learn to fart less.
What starkly hypocritical times we live in.
Let’s hope that a huge cloud of Nord 2 methane envelops Greta Thunberg.
CH4 not CO4.
@ ANOUGHTY MOUSER
CRAPP ! the globalist private
federal bankers dont need merceneries
to do the job . they just advise pentagon
to send their navy which did it .
@ ANDYAY
THANKS ! the baltic sea is a very stagnant
pool and with all the chemical poison
granades since worldwar 2 surely will
never recover and the gas will stream
for years making the bills higher for
germany adicional for the expensive
US fracking gas . i will try not to use
gas anymore . thats my wardeclaration
to the jewish wallstreet gamblers .
the russians should close the valve.
the pipe will be lost to corosion anyway .
What is one to expect of Sikorski? He is actually married to the psychopathetic manifestation of the mythological hermaphrodite, Anne Applebaum. That is why he did the Russians a favour by calling out the US … from the rooftops! He has regretted this, i.e., his rhapsodic anti-US tweet, not his marriage. So he is a fool to the power of 2.

QUOTE:
“…….On 15 January 2010 construction of the Portovaya compressor station in Vyborg, near the Gulf of Finland, began. [41] [42] The first pipe of the pipeline was laid on 6 April 2010 in the Swedish exclusive economic zone by the Castoro Sei vessel. In addition to Castoro Sei, also Castoro 10 and Solitaire were contracted for pipe-laying works.[43] Construction of the pipeline was officially launched on 9 April 2010 at Portovaya Bay.[44]
The laying of the first pipe was completed on 4 May 2011, underwater work was completed on 21 June 2011 [45], in August 2011 it was connected with the OPAL pipeline, [46] and the first gas was pumped on 6 September 2011.[47] Construction of the second pipe was completed in August 2012 and it was inaugurated on 8 October 2012.[48]
The pipeline was officially inaugurated by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, French Prime Minister François Fillon, and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on 8 November 2011 at the ceremony held in Lubmin.[49][50][51].
In November 2015, Nord Stream found a disabled underwater drone with a small amount of explosives on the pipeline near Öland, and requested the Swedish Navy to remove it.[52][53]
Although the nominal capacity of the pipeline is 55 billion cubic metres per annum (1.9 trillion cubic feet per annum), it transported 59.2 billion cubic metres (2.09 trillion cubic feet) in 2021.

COMMENT
Appears Nordstream has been on stream for 10+ years…and 1st phase took approx one year to complete…1st delivery a few month later.
From what I read, it was well designed and engineered, (it had to be to traverse almost 800 miles undersea and last 10+years to date )
Structural failure is highly unlikely…..any pressure drop is likely due to Russia deciding the damage is irreparable and any attempt to sacrifice any more gas to prevent saltwater corrosion is futile. The Nordstream is DEAD( unless they use the existing pipeline as a sleeve to guide a new one.)
========================================
Re: Kissinger…that ((( scumbag))) will be gone soon…..waaay past his best before date
………he has always talked in cryptic riddles as sign of a typical psycho -egomaniac with faux intellect.
Anyone who thinks the British public was responsible for Britain withdrawing from the EU should think again…..after all the prime motivation was giving Britain independence over its immigration policies.
EVERYTHING HAS GOT WORSE SINCE THEN.
Yet ANOTHER MINISTER has announced that she intends to initiate great changes….JUST ANOTHER LIE TO KEEP THE PUBLIC BELIEVING IMMIGRATION WILL BE CONTROLLED……
Fat Fucking Chance.
The jews who now control Britain wont allow that.Britain or the Jews who control it is essentially betraying European interests in favour of jew controlled USA….whatever the cost ….that means,like ww2,a massive loss of life amongst the civilian population!!.
The French have an expression…”peridious Albion”…but as someone above mentions…..the treachery does not come from Britain but rather the jews that control it……and theyre slowly turning the country into a basket case.
As for Truss….the answer is not in yet…unlike Johnstein,Cameron and May.
ONE THING IS FOR 💯 % SURE….THE IMBECILE BIDEN IS VERY DEFINITELY A MARRANO CATHOLIC…..a crypto jew.Not a shadow of doubt on that one (take a look at his son…..a swarthy utterly corrupt dirt bag)
“Should Europeans ‘Thank’ the Americans for Destroying Nord Stream?”
Has Russia in the Ukraine shown the way for the resolution of political turmoil and war which should not depend on the interests of external powers? Should not the way be in such matters concerning sovereignty and trade with other nations be left to the people most affected rather than depend on the interests and might of huge intervening foreign power blocks, such as NATO or Russia? What happened in the Ukraine is totally the result of the intrusion of the external powers, not for the interests of the people in the Ukraine but rather for respective geopolitical interests.
What Russia feels is that their actions are a response to mainly US/UK expansionism and provocations, which certainly appears to be the case. Yet, do we not have both the US and the UK also trying to destroy future prospects of Europe becoming more dependent on Russia with Russia already being a huge resource supplier to Europe, and also a likely future Russia linking panned global trade roots to dominate much of world trade? Then again, so what? What of the people most affected?
Clearly, the overwhelming majority of the people in the four eastern oblasts (provinces) of the Ukraine are Russian-speaking and culturally quite Russian orientated, and that majority was being persecuted by the Ukrainian majority led by the outside support, money, arms and influences from our NATO nations. Had there been no such influences the people in the Ukraine would no doubt have worked out their differences. We tend to think that the authority for Russia’s presence in the region ought to be the will of the people in that region when the persecution became intolerable for Russia to ignore. Yet, what unrest and abuses there would be in the world by foreign powers interested in severing lesser nations if that were the rule. But wait a minute is that not the very way of the Western power block all of over the world – to get into a nation, cause division, strife and war and then move in to topple the existing government and set up their own?
If the question, “Should Europeans ‘Thank’ the Americans for Destroying Nord Stream?”, should entail a determination of what is right or wrong in the grand scheme of things, then how else can we or anyone decide that question without determining who is to be most affected? For such NATO sanctions calculated also to hurt the captive Europeans should not the people in each European nation vote in separate plebiscites as to whether or not they want to buy Russian gas and how much of it? If there was a fair campaign and a fair vote with the people able to gauge the various benefits and risks themselves, would that not be a better solution rather than, as with Covid, all of our governments behaving as if the people had no rights at all, and as if our views did not even exist – tantamount to telling us that we no longer matter, even concerning our vital interests.
The fact is that the geopolitical issues and interests are so grandiose and sweeping between various power mogul organizations vying for control of the future of the planet that the people residing in the various jurisdictions no longer are real to them and for the most part they are actually in the way.
However, the situation still seems so crazy and bazar, echoing the Russia-bashing, fake-news nonsense coming from the globalists during the 2016 US Presidental election, that it very difficult believe that everything going on is not totally contrived, including:
– the hostilities between NATO and Russia and everything happening in the Ukraine;
– the peril of WWIII;
– the crashing of the markets;
– the present alleged crop failures;
– the peril of resource shortages with development;
– the peril of global warming – the blatant interferences with supply lines by our governments;
– the deliberate slow-down of the economy with the plandemic; and even
– the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline.
Yes, all planned and endorsed for a globalist tier of government over us with sweeping powers to resolve the very perils they have created intended to frighten us and force us into their various control grids where we relinquish our powers and freedoms over virtually everything important. Thsi very NWO government as has been pre-announced and totally planned with no real establishment opposition anywhere in Russian, China, India, the EU, the UK or in the US. When you get the picture of Putin, Schwab, Xe, Biden, Trump, Trudeau, Truss, Merkle, Macron and Francis all cavorting under NWO bedsheets you will get a better idea of how we are all being played.
We already have three horsemen of the Apocalypse, pestilence, war, and famine trotted out on the world stage, and it should be no surprise to anyone that just as people are all cowering in their shelters in dread of a WWIII, that the fourth horseman will appear riding out on a white charge fresh from the UN-WEF-NWO stables, where we all will be inoculated and melded into the bio-digital, centralized control pens prepared for us – all allegedly for global “peace” and “unity” where we will own nothing by 2030 because the integrity and basic rights of the individual person will have ceased to exist. .
