Robert Bridge \u2013 Strategic Review Sept 29, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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: \u201cThank you, USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s primary source of gas reserves with winter just around the corner? It was Sikorski\u2019s homeland of Poland, after all, that urged its citizens to collect firewood<\/a> in the face of dwindling gas reserves.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s special military operation in Ukraine: \u2018we will accept our self-destruction as scripted by Washington policymakers so long as the baddies in Moscow hears our virtue-signaling whimpers and screams.\u2019 European capitals are about to learn the hard way that virtue signaling does not put food on the table or heat homes.<\/p>\n

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 \u2018Thank you, USA\u2019 may eventually be chiseled into Europe\u2019s tombstone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But first, the big question: was the United States really <\/em>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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine, again, then there will be \u2014 there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,\u201d the U.S. leader told reporters<\/a> two weeks before Russia began its Ukrainian mission. \u201cWe will bring an end to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked to specify, Biden responded, \u201cI promise you, we\u2019ll be able to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are other clues that point to American complicity.<\/p>\n

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 \u2018accident\u2019 occurred.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> of experiments in the field of underwater drones that they set up at the BALTOPS 22 exercises \u2013 in the area of Bornholm Island, the Danish island where the explosions were reported to have occurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cExperimentation 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,\u201d Sea Power reports.<\/p>\n

Such an \u201cexperiment\u201d would have required the deep-sea equipment needed for reaching the depths where the Nord Stream pipelines are located.<\/p>\n

Finally, here\u2019s one last tantalizing piece of information for all of the \u2018coincidence theorists\u2019 out there. On the day after Nord Stream 1 and 2 went offline, Poland, Norway and Denmark\u2019s leaders attended the opening ceremony of the new Baltic Pipe<\/a>, which will transport natural gas from Norway via Denmark and through the Baltic Sea to, yes, Sikorski\u2019s ferociously Russophobic homeland of Poland. Yes, just a coincidence.<\/p>\n

However, the main motivating factor for Washington having a hand in destroying Nord Stream is the awesome powers \u2013 both financial and political \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cchance\u201d had a considerable effect on the market. Now, without its main energy supplier, Europe is doomed while America will soar.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>) 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.<\/p>\n

In other words, the transformation of the EU into a banana republic \u2013 albeit it one in the northern hemisphere with winter quickly approaching \u2013 has already begun.<\/p>\n

Europe, you really should have heeded the advice of Henry Kissinger, who understands the nature of the U.S. better than anyone: \u201cTo be an enemy of the U.S. is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.\u201d<\/p>\n
