It's exactly the same thing.
Especially considering the nature of information his "anonymous sources" have been giving him since the 90s.
Unfortunately, it won't cause any re-examination of the rest of his career.

Don't you hate when HATO ships, Polish and Ukrainian divers, satellites, AWACS and Boris Johnson himself scare you while you're carrying a pipeline bursting charge, and you accidentally drop it right when you're sailing over a pipeline? It's always at the worst time and place, isn't it?
I think he's trying to get across that because the Russians drove by that area on the same day it's implied they destroyed it when they could have just been in the area in general. I think. It's hard to follow what the hell his analogy means.

Seems to be a part of information.dk's source. Can't read Danish, though, so I don't know if there's a Danish military press release in there as well.
>the russian vehicle ss-750 was present near the north stream pipes four days before they were blown up on 26th of september last year. the special vehicle is adapted to do operation underneath the sea and has a mini submarine of the type as-26 priz on board.
>the danish defence command confirms in an "aktindsigt"(when you send a formal letter to the gov. to get access to documents) that 26 pictures were taken of the russian vessel from a danish patrol boat, in the area east of bornholm on the 22nd of september 2022
Knowing things your opponent doesn’t know you know is a great way to get them to say stuff that upon retrospective cross-examination makes them look like guilty bozos.
Publicly sharing intel you have on your enemy is a massive fricking mistake that nobody would make.
The only time you would ever do it is if it's absolutely fundamental for some purpose you have designed. Otherwise you keep a tight lid on it.
everyone expected it was Russia for exactly this reason from the start
we're just annoyed that you lied to us for no reason when it was very obvious from the start that Russia bombed their own pipeline to try and force Germany's hand economically.
>force Germany's hand economically
force it to do what?
Russia was playing chicken with the pipeline ("lift the sanctions or we will have to do another six months of unscheduled repairs") and destroying it was like calling their own bluff. They're kinda fricked without that income, long term.
They could have blown it up for 4D chess moron reasons or internal power struggles I guess
NTA but theres a secondary advantage in trying to wedge the Europeans against the Americans by implicating the USA as the perpetrator. >But that's pretty moronic...
Were talking about Russia.
they know their only way to have the slightest chance is to sow discord amongst nato member states, it's why they support both sides of political extremists abroad, which is most prominent in germany where both the alt right and former east german commies simp for putin, russia or the soviet union, often times for the same reasons. those being: >strong man at the helm >"""anti-imperialism""" >hating on america and nato >seething cos of eurogay's unity
as I recall the sabotage was minor (3 of 4 pipes, and repairable) and still allowed the possibility of trade, just at reduced quantities
the immediate and obvious answer then is >oh, so the people who made the pipe did it as a threat then, and to jack up prices while strangling one of their major enemy's energy production (hopefully)
I honestly think Russia just overplayed their hand again. They didn't expect it to be so obvious to everyone that it was Russia, they didn't expect Northern Europe and Germany to be fine thanks to American imports and an unusually warm winter (our weather control tech), they didn't expect a unified NATO response. Their mistake.
It strikes me as a move that some person in a very impressive hat thought sounded super smart and cool, very 007. Just... you know.... those are fiction, that doesn't usually work irl.
what seems to have happened (IMO obv) is that Russia has played the 'shutting down the pipeline because of maintenance' too many times. Every time they do it the public fear and panic gets reduced. They hoped that such a bold play would cause major panic among the people to deescalate the aid in return for helping to get the gas back. With the threat being of a cold winter. With a hope that it would also strain the relationship between Europe and America. Which is probably secondary considering the current real time problem of the Ukraine war.

i still like the factionalism explanation though >gas barons: "if we sideline putin and take over we can just turn the taps back on and the gas will flow" >putin blows up the pipeline, now even if the gas barons do take over the gas can't flow anyway so there's no point taking over in the first place
>now even if the gas barons do take over the gas can't flow anyway so there's no point taking over in the first place
You know there are several more pipelines from Russia to Europa?
Granted, they also go through Poland or Ukraine, but currently only run with a fraction of their max capacity.
>Hersh the geriatric washup was lying to get clicks on his substack
Shocking, truly.

I get the vibe it was less consciously lying and more uncritically regurgitating what his anonymous source fed him because it fit his worldview.
It's exactly the same thing.

What's the point of this analogy? It was all an accident?

Hershbros... how could this happen?
People that old are either easy to trick or dream about their glory days
That also explains Douglas MacGregor.
he seethes incessantly at america.
basically he's the equivalent of your typical /k/oper and russia

they didn't get the photos from the enquiry, by the way. "national security" and all that bs
Get H.I. Sutton and Jive Turkey on the case.
Not a zigger, but why wait unitl now if they had those photos back in September?
Sounds...fishy
Gives the Russians an opportunity to make fools of themselves.
Vatniks will say they're doctored anyway
Could still influence proceedings on Gazprom's contract force majeure claims.
Because glowies hate sharing secrets
The west doesn't wanna get dragged in the war so they let the whole thing blow over and now nobody is paying attention/cares

None, probably. Everyone who needed to know the truth has had access to it for a long time.
Why reveal this to general public now? Dunno.
what's wrong with blowing up nordstream so germany doesn't back out of it's commitments?
Morally? nothing. But it would have financial consequences.

Germany was due compensation for gas not delivered. The sabotage took care of that while conveniently leaving NS2 untouched.
NS2 was not untouched.
there was never a nordstream 1, nordstream 2 got its name from an online poll
So that explains the "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong Stream" built nearby.
Relatively certain my energy provider blew that shite up so German gas sky rockets...
How embarrassing; they can't even do a covert op right
But the USA said the Ukrainians did it...
What is going on, bros?
I'll be disappointed if it doe end up being Russia that blew up Nordstream and not America swinging its wiener around.
"Hello hello. What's all this then?"
