The only published footage of the damage to the Nord Stream pipelines, featured on my Nord Stream Conspiracy Thread, turns out to come from Expressen, a Swedish newspaper. Their reporters hired undersea drone operators and took a boat out to the site of the explosions off the island of Bornholm. There, they found a sizeable crater and 50 metres of missing pipeline. That this is how the images should have made their way to us, rather than through any official path, speaks volumes about the eagerness of Swedish authorities to suppress this story.
Don't worry, it's all fine. I see Marks & Spencer have changed the spelling of 'Kiev' on their Chicken Kiev packaging so once Putin sees what he's up against he is bound to fold.
The whole conflict has taken on a surreal and bizarre tone. Reading western media its more or less: Russia on the ropes, army incompetent, Ukraine ascendant, and all the various detailed nonsense of how the various Wunderwaffe has absolutely demolished the Russians. Casualties are astronomical, losses are astronomical.. And the Russian economy is a mess, the Russian army is a mess, mobilization is a mess, I mean I can just go on and on and on
Then you can listen to Ritter, Macgregor, Mercouris, and subscribe to the many different telegram channels from the Russian side, and you may as well be living in an alternate universe. One which also does not quite add up; because if the Russians were winning, well, why aren't they winning? Or is it just an ugly slugfest where the only truth is that tens of thousands of men and boys - who could have been me or you or any one of us - continue to die unnecessarily. None of it makes sense and nobody is telling the truth, this is clear. Listening to the heads of NATO, EU, US, UK, Ukr talk, it honestly just reminds me of the dark days of Covid where the virus/Russia was going to be "defeated at all costs"
As for the energy crisis, I read that gas prices have dropped, there are tankers waiting to unload off the coast of spain (why? waiting for higer prices or because of lack of unloading space), and the weather has been unseasonably mild.
The Nordstream attack for me was the moment a negotiated peace was taken off the table. Yet it seems nobody is interested in that anyway so, whatever.
This is what happens when a country has an environmental policy in place of an energy policy, decides that locking down society for a run of the mill respiratory illness is the best of all possible responses, and prints money like it's going out of fashion. It's like having a bunch of toddlers in charge, except that would be an insult to toddlers.
Why are we screwing up the whole world over fucking corrupt Ukraine. Zelensky needs to be ignored, he is a spoiled child that demands and demands and our stupid politicians just entertain him. Before this pretend photo op war nobody cared about them besides showing them up as a prime example for corruption. It is time to move on and focus on fixing our issues and ignore Ukraine like everybody did before, like during the krimea conflict. Russia should take it all, as we don't want them in the eu or Nato.
I read that the US only has diesel fuel for a few more weeks. Almost all transport is over the road. I wonder what is going to happen after that? Horse and buggy?
"So, if we put all of our grain into power production, we have the prospect not only of freezing to death, but of starving to death too. I’m glad state media are investigating this promising angle."
LOL. I worked a job in Canada where a German company that sells a biogas process was being used as the design basis. Folks, biogas from grain is HILARIOUSLY energy intensive to generate and purify to pipeline quality methene. It may one day supplement gas supply and it is a good way to use grain waste product but power the world it will not. Oh, said German company of 'process engineers' was terrible to work with at scale, and we suspect they only even built a pilot plant.
Unbelievable ... The EU has devolved into a socialist nanny state that cares not one bit what the average working person cares or wants. Basic government services no longer matter. It is support Ukraine, voters be damned. This slavish obedience to NATO is setting the entire globe on a path to at minimum economic collapse and at maximum, nuclear Armageddon. It will only take an initial volley and the neocons in DC will have the nuclear suitcase wrenched from Biden's feeble fingers and his codes transferred to ... who? Obama, Susan Rice ... we don't know. A fast chain of events will occur without control. Submarines will receive orders that cannot be recalled. Same for certain Air Force units stationed in Italy and Germany. Things will get out of hand fast. But the literally retarded "leaders" of the collective west know what is best and will bet your life they are correct. This entire chain of events is both predictable and preventable and I'm good and goddamned pissed about it. All I can say is pray, plan, prepare and RESIST.
As a Brit I used to feel much closer to the Yanks and the other ex-colonies than to the Continentals, especially since Brexit. Now I'd quite like to ally with the Russians, cut the undersea cables and blow any Yank planes inbound to Heathrow out of the air.
Well the German government has a history of mass sacrifice of its population for its goals. Also has a history of insanity but that's beside the point because think of how much better off the planet will be with fewer carbon footprints. Zu viele Fußspuren. Es tut mir Leid.
Shoigu made rare phone calls over the weekend warning the west about a dirty bomb false flag threat. Zelensky and his US and UK puppet masters are pulling the world to the brink of disaster.
Can’t some type of gene based injection be expedited through Big a Pharma, w/o testing of course, to change the temperature sensitivity of people so they withstand cold temperatures better? What could go wrong?
In this most deadly serious of times, we a led by deeply unserious people.

German women just need to identify as men, hey presto, they’re fine in the cold.

You guys got tons of green energy to fill in the voids. So, what's the problem? The global warming greenies have you covered!

Why are natural gas futures tanking despite the shortage
Sometimes you just gotta laugh at their crap!
