welshbairn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Germany saying that, unless the pipeline is repaired quickly, internal salt water corrosion could render the pipeline useless and unrepairable. Also that one of Nord 2's pipes is undamaged so could be used if Germany changes it's mind on authorising it.

DiegoDiego Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Surely any assault on critical infrastructure belonging to any NATO country would be getting right close to a declaration of war?Only if you can prove who dunnit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I did wonder if Gazprom could be penalised for continuing to withhold contracted supply of gas through Nord 1, another potential motive.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It's a fast moving situation where Russia might be the wrong-doer (I don't know) but if the West is looking for a "Russian-style" Big Lie" in order to take unprecedented military action whilst retaining a relatively positive image for PR reasons then this could be it. It would be ironic if the Russian Government wasn't fibbing about this but received the blame for it - especially as the regime appears to live by lies and deceit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M to get James spying on Felix Leiter as he refuses to rule out the Americans. Gunbarrel sequence ends with a view of the Reichstag...

welshbairn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Qatar are currently negotiating a 10-20 year fixed price LNG supply deal with Germany, blowing up Nord 1 has certainly come at a convenient time for them, not that I'm alleging they hired some mercanaries with North Sea diving experience or anything.

Detournement Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Being a keyboard warrior in reaction to a video of men being mobilised is next level pathetic. Edin must have some really important emailing to do which is preventing him from joining the Foreign Legion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I thought I'd read that there was NATO & USA naval war exercises taking place only 20/30 kilometres away from there. Surely if it was Russia then they would have picked something up on radar. Did Biden not say that he would stop NS1 from operating? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The latest US military aid package for Ukraine includes funding for 18 further HIMARS systems as well as 12 anti-drone Titan systems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Some of these anti drome missiles look like they cost far more than the drones they target. If I was Putin I'd be buying or making as many cheap useless drones as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
