Nordstream pipelines

[WiltonRanch]

Aside from Russia bringing in arms and reinforcements, and supplies for the war I’ve seen a few arguments for why it is better for Ukraine to leave the bridge as leverage. Makes you wonder if Putler blew it so Ukraine lost that leverage. That’s reading into it a bit more than necessary. He’s a chess player or thinks he is so maybe that’s his reason but my money is on Ukrainian side carrying it out.

I am starting to wonder now if the likes of Russia and opec nations are kind of banding together now to squeeze the west into submission. Americans allegedly told the saudis and uae that if they want to be friendly with Russia then maybe they can handle their defence as well. I can see things setting up where we in Canada stand to benefit if we can get rid of the stench of Trudeau and Jughead.

Putin is looking for an excuse to deploy WMD.

I heard it was a truck bomb… but how did that start the rail tank fuel cars on fire?

No Security obviously… was in place…one traffic lane of highway open now… looks like the rail line isn’t seriously damaged…

Talk about a precision hit! Much easier way to take this corridor out… if Ukraine actually wanted to blow that bridge…

Watch the footage of the explosion look for the shower of incendiary sparks. I assume some sort of phosphorus was added into the device to catch fire to anything in the vicinity. Perchance the wind was blowing toward the train, which happened to be right there at the exact spot. And it was not a full fuel train, just the first 13 cars were petroleum, all the rest were grain hoppers

If this wasn't planned, whomever carried it out must have horseshoes up their wazoo to have so many perfect circumstances line-up at once.

Putin was behind the bridge explosion, no doubt. The damage was minimal as traffic was flowing on one set of lanes and trains are moving down the tracks within a day.

Just an excuse for Putin to bomb and kill civilians in Ukrainian cities, as he can now say Russian civilians came under attack by Ukraine.

If Ukrainian special forces had done the bombing, the bridge wouldn't be in operation within a day.

Dictator Putin is becoming disparate, as his three day war of Ukraine is pushing him further and further into his bunker.

Russian Revolution 2.0 is on it's way.

"Business Insider
Sergei Surovikin, the commander now leading Russia's attacks on Ukraine, has been described as 'absolutely ruthless' by former colleagues: 'I am afraid his hands will be completely covered in Ukrainian blood'"...

"Sergei Surovikin is the new top Russian commander and has been nicknamed "General Armageddon" by colleagues.

He is said to be behind Monday's deadly attacks across Ukraine.

Surovikin led Russian troops in Syria during the early 2000s, according to The New York Times."
...

"Gen Surovikin is accused of complicity in the indiscriminate bombing of opposition fighters and of overseeing chemical weapons attacks, in a campaign thought to have been pivotal in helping Syria's government regain control over most of the country.

The consensus among experts is that Vladimir Putin's decision to have him take charge of Russia's forces in Ukraine is a direct result of his reputation for ruthlessness and brutality.....

""He has shown his ability to wage a war that involves nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, the last of which he used in Syria.

"Putin's regime has repeatedly issued threats over recent weeks of using a nuclear option. We need to think about what the capability is, the intent and the opportunity.

"So they have already signalled their intent, but they would need commanders who would have the capability to do it."...

WE are in for wild volatility ... insanity ... Clearances of Ukrainian grain corridor shipments have already been held up by Russia for the past 2 weeks now... in Istanbul Turkey...

Note Putin said nothing about Ukraine and the Nordstream pipe lines...both Mini and Kansas Dec22 wheat futures well over $10US... US shipments down...

Nothing in there that anyone interested didn't already know.

But didn't see any thing that made me want join him as a Putin cheerleader.

About the same thing as saying Sadam Hussain was a US ally till he moved into Kuwait.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that the left can condemn the entire Trucker Rally as nazis when one flag was supposedly spotted from an unknown individual yet the Azov Battellion real world neo nazis with an absolutely brutal reputation operate inside Zelinski's military and receive billion$ from the West?
