Now we've heard a lot about the Nordstrom pipeline. but in this segment, I'm going to tell you about something crazy because I got a lot of family in Germany and something that I just read Kind of blows my mind a little bit about what Germans think about Russia and Ukraine But not only are we going to talk about that, of course we're going to talk about the North Stream Pipeline. So they're They're basically multiple allegations at this point, right? The United States government wants to make the argument that and I'm going to summarize this to try to speed you up. In case you don't know all the background, I'm going to speed you up as fast as possible.

Okay, you ready for this. US Government says Russia bombed their own pipeline because basically the argument is: well, Russia knew we were never going to use their Russian natural gas anymore. Uh, because it's a pipeline that goes well. two pipelines that go from Russia to Germany and we weren't going to use their natural gas anyway.

So why not blow up the pipeline To basically punish Europe is the sort of the conventional argument and Russia basically committed sabotage against their own pipeline is the theory. And of course, the county theory is why would they do that? They could literally just turn off the tap. They don't have to destroy infrastructure. they spent three to five billion dollars on on manufacturing.

Okay, that's that's one argument. Now, of course we have the idea that why would Joe Biden say at a press conference when asked, hey, how are you going to stop the production of the Nordstream 2 pipeline, Why would you say essentially and I'm paraphrasing here a little bit, but you could see this video all over the internet. We will make sure there is an end to the North Stream pipeline, right? That's his response, sort of implying that look, if we need to take it out ourselves, we will. And so the mainstream argument is that Russia bombed the pipeline.

Now, Unfortunately though, the mainstream narrative is falling apart for the people who believe the mainstream narrative, with even companies like the Washington Post so the Washington Post leans left. It's in my opinion, very important to understand media bias because it gives us insight into which way they lean, so we know where where their biases are, and then we know. Okay, like when they say something that's potentially anti that buys, maybe there's more credibility to it. Maybe you know.

Potentially you can have that argument. So the Washington Post tends to lean pretty far left. And if the mainstream argument is oh, Russia bombed it, the Washington Post has actually done multiple pieces now arguing there is zero evidence that Russia bombed its own pipeline. So then on the Other Extreme you have this argument that it was actually and this was a reporter.

Uh, who's broken stories on the Vietnam War This is a Pulitzer prize-winning reporter. This person has an incredible history. But anyway, there's this reporter who wrote down. Here's how the United States could have basically bombed the Nordstrom Pipeline And the argument is the CIA would have worked with Mil, the military like the Navy and the Navy of of Norway or other countries and basically the CIA probably placed plastic explosive with navy divers on the pipelines because you had combined three explosions in three different locations placed plastic explosive encased in concrete.

The reason you encase it in concrete is a So the explosion can actually occur B So the explosion is directed into the pipeline rather than out into the water, right? I Mean the concrete's going to break anyway, but it directs more of the energy into the pipeline. so you put plus. So if this is a pipeline, you stick plastic explosive on the side which is encased in concrete. The explosion goes in, ruptures the pipeline boom.

Methane goes everywhere. Right now, the gas lines were not being used at the time. Nonetheless, you still have potentially between 100 000 to 500 000 metric tons of methane that likely leak. According to the Danish government, that's probably about five times more than the largest methane leak we've ever seen in 2016.

the Aliso Canyon pipeline leak in or facility leak in California and so the equivalent of that basically is like burning 5 billion gallons of gas is what some people say, although others say nah, this is actually more like a leak of methane That would be the equivalent of two to maybe five days of actually just regular transportation in the world from Planes Cars, boats, trucks, whatever. So like, yes, it was a big methane leak. Was it really that big of a deal? Yes, for one moment it was very historic. But in the grand scheme of things, does it really change much for climate change? Probably not.

so so. Some people kind of water that down. Although yes, it was a very, very large explosion of or release of methane condensed at one point. Again, the impacts of that uncertain.

But anyway, going back to the CIA allegation because you've got the mainstream argument, then you've got the CIA allegation. The CIA is that these bombs were attached to the pipeline. Not only are the bombs attached to the pipeline, but they're not on timers. They're actually activated by potentially dropping a buoy like a water floating object.

Uh, on the surface of the water. So a plane can fly by whenever you want it to happen. plane fly, spy drops a buoy. The buoy then releases sonar signals.

but not just any kind of sonar signal because Wales send sonar signals. Uh, you know, whatever. So instead it would sing basically a sonar tune as kind of like an eerie violin on the Titanic And as soon as that sequence of sonar ends, it triggers the C4 to explode, blowing up the three pipelines without making it actually seem like there were any divers or boats in the area. Well now.

so so that's another thesis. So you have one thesis which is Russia did it The other thesis is know the United States did it. Now the new sort of revised mainstream argument is that oh well. it's actually a pro-ukrainian group that ended up uh, blowing up this pipeline.

This Pro Ukrainian group somehow basically dove into the depths which are only about 80 yards deep at the side of the explosion using potentially submersible drones or divers. or Surface ships or whatever. uh, were were the people who bombed this now Pro Ukrainian groups which Zelenski says he has no idea about could really be anyone, right? It could literally be a Splinter Cell of the CIA Not to bring back memories of the game's Splinter Cell Best Game Ever. Okay, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow in Chaos Theory Do Not hold a candle.

Do anything else. In other words, nothing else holds a candle anyway. you know what I mean. So so anyway, so now there's this new argument that oh no, no, it was actually just pro-ukrainian saboteurs.

It wasn't even a government. Yeah, Okay, come on man, this is like bull crap. but whatever. But what's actually really interesting out of all of this is that apparently German authorities uh, and the German media is now suggesting that a small team of saboteurs actually had a rented yacht from Poland who was owned by two Ukrainians who were apparently able to use that yacht to to go dive down and plant these plastic explosives or whatever.

Now whether that was those were CAA you know, individuals or whatever, who knows. The point is, the damn thing blew up. Okay, got it. Somebody did it.

It was probably funded by either EU and the United States, but we'll never probably know that with certainty. But the point here is that Germans are actually finding that the danger of potentially seeing that a pro-ukrainian group blew this pipeline up could potentially weaken NATO support for Ukraine which is already starting to weaken in Germany because in a weird way, you're seeing a lot of Germans who are actually somewhat sympathetic and this sounds crazy sympathetic to Russia And the reason and I'm like I'm mind blown because I got family in Germany and I'm like what? like a lot of people in Germany apparently don't like Solinsky and I'm like I feel like I'm whispering saying that because I'm like that's weird but but that's apparently the mainstream media in Germany is like people don't like Zielinski and the idea is that, uh, that it can continuously funding this NATO expansion is exactly what we should not be doing now. At the same time as this NATO expansion is happening, you know the United States is like no, no, no, we're not going to send F-16s to Europe but what are we seeing? Well, you've got people on the House Armed Services Committee saying the only reason we're not sending F-16s yet is because it's probably going to take us a year to send Parts planes and train Pilots to send F-16s to Ukraine to help them potentially go attack Russia Well, that's potentially where you get more of a World War III approach. Right now, there's a lot of drama about Bak Moot.

Obviously because this is where the Ukrainians are like oh no, we're losing and the US is like no, it doesn't matter if you're losing and then you've got the Wagner Group which is a a hodgepodge of like convicts and criminals who are basically mercenaries who are freed from jail to work for Russia who are acting like they're being abandoned by Russia And so everybody's kind of using the propaganda of Bak Moot to get more funding for their side, the Russian side and the Ukrainian side. The point is, everything is a complete disaster. The biggest takeaway from all of this in my opinion: Nordstrom Pipelines the Germans the Ukrainians Russians the pile of fighter pilots going there. The biggest takeaway out of all of this is there is no obvious end game and probably it's going to take quite a while for basically politicians to realize that their constituents Americans Germans Russians Ukrainians, whatever are tired of the war and only then can we have a negotiated settlement.

But right now this is a war of attrition. Russia has more soldiers. They're willing to use those soldiers. The the West continues to provide more and more.

Weaponry There's no obvious end game here and the more of this drama that happens and the more pain we see in areas like Bakmud or otherwise, the longer this is going to go on. And unfortunately it's terrible so that's the latest on Ukraine Hopefully that is useful to you. I Am now going to the course member live stream goodbye and we'll see you in the next one.
