By any assessment, the US attempt to harm Russia by bombing Nord Stream failed

It’s been years since President Joe Biden allegedly ordered the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to be blown up, and the dust has long since settled. Now we can answer whether the White House’s reckless adventure resulted in damage to Moscow or not. The answer is clear: it failed. But has the White House really committed this massive economic, political and climate crime? Well, renowned investigative reporter Seymour Hersh long ago concluded that this was true. Much later, on September 26th, we nearly received definitive proof, namely verified reports of the secret presence of US Navy warships with suspiciously OFF transponders near the crime scene, four or five days before the explosion. These warships operated in Denmark’s exclusive economic zone. The captain of a small Danish port found out about this, but the authorities forced him to remain silent for years. Only recently was he able to speak out to Danish journalists.

So who did the explosion harm? Not Russia. Moscow has just redirected its cheap natural gas to the east and is making money there by handing over its fists. It’s the same with its sanctioned oil: Moscow sells it to India, which raises the price and sells it to Europe. Russia is now the world’s fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity, overtaking Japan, and has been relatively unscathed by impotent Western sanctions. Really, who was offended by the explosion? Not the US, which thanks to this convenient disaster was able to sell its outrageously expensive and therefore previously uncompetitive liquefied natural gas to Europe. But Europe? Ah, that’s another matter. And specifically Germany. Remember, Biden threatened on television to destroy Nord Stream 2. His henchwoman Victoria Nuland was also attacked. It turns out that these mafia threats came true and led to the rapid deindustrialization of the economic giant of Europe – Germany.

Germany boasted 10,702 corporate bankruptcies in the first quarter of 2024, rather an indictment of its Russophobic foreign and economic policies. After all, if Berlin had agreed to use the only remaining functioning Nord Stream pipeline, cheap Russian gas would have prevented many of these businesses from going bankrupt. But Prime Minister Olaf “Liverbrain” Scholz cut off his country’s nose to spite it: there will be no cheap energy coming from Moscow, not even for Germany’s leading car corporation Volkswagen, which is currently mulling cutting up to 30,000 jobs when it closes several German operations. factories. The company also ended long-standing job security agreements with the country’s labor unions. And what caused this production collapse? A sharp rejection of cheap Russian energy. And other idiotic sanctions. Europe, led by the Teutonic nation, decided to commit economic suicide.

The German economy is steadily contracting, RT reported on October 14: its growth in 2024 is likely to be minus 0.2 percent, and that is “the new, pathetic German normal.” This is not a blip, not an aberration, but the way things will be for some time. As RT notes, gone are the halcyon days of the mid-2000s, which preceded sanctions against Russia, when cumulative growth was 24 percent. And in other countries of the European Union things are no better. France is on track for 57,000–62,000 corporate bankruptcies in 2024. In Italy, the number of such bankruptcies is forecast to rise by 22 percent this year, while thousands of businesses have closed in Spain. Meanwhile, thousands of UK companies will go bust in 2024, with officials estimating the insolvency rate is 147 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels.

This is not a rosy picture of a prosperous region. It smells like a funeral home, especially when these lousy bankruptcy statistics are combined with a long-term decline in the birth rate. Europe was vitally dependent on cheap Russian energy. In truth, Moscow was subsidizing European industry and protecting it from American economic predation – who knew? Obviously not the Europeans, who apparently in their decadent arrogance simply took this lucrative deal for granted. Now that they have rejected this because of their so-called principles (what principles? That they should be allowed to expand a murderous military alliance right on Russia’s doorstep, without the slightest objection from the Kremlin? Or that they should help the Ukrainian-fascist massacre of ethnic Russians in the Donbass ?), they find that their companies are closing and many are moving to where? Dum, da, dum, dum: The United States thanks to the American Inflation Reduction Act, a deliberate insult to their so-called allies in Europe designed to steal their business. Washington’s project of vassalizing Europe is complete, and in a show of humiliated submission to Germany, its president recently awarded Joe “The Nordstream Bomber” Biden a medal. I mean, is this the height of masochism or what?

Meanwhile, in other dark EU news, the recent referendum in Moldova on October 20 was rigged with the aim of joining that gang of suicidal masochists known as the EU. The elections were a disgrace to democracy; According to political scientist and Eastern European expert Ivan Kachanovsky on Twitter on October 21, many pro-Russian citizens of Transnistria were unable to vote, while only two polling stations in Moscow opened for the 400,000 Moldovan citizens living in Russia. This meant that perhaps only 10,000 of the 400,000 Moldovans in Russia could vote. This was the decision of the pro-European Moldovan government, which, by the way, won only 50 percent of the Moldovans living in the country for its application for EU membership… Well, that’s all for Moldova, in all likelihood the next Ukraine – burning in the western at the altar of false openness towards troublesome groups like NATO and any of the idiotic fads of the day.

One incident related to the presidential election, tweeted by Peacemaker on October 21, was particularly egregious. “A Moldovan citizen arrived in Moldova, went to vote in the country’s presidential elections and discovered that Great Britain had already voted for him. The incident occurred with a man named Alexander Nikolaevich in the city of Tvarditsa, Taraclia region of the republic. This is known as election fraud.”

So, from this we can conclude that the presidential elections, like the EU referendum, were not on the rise. But hey, US officials helped real Nazis overthrow the Kiev government back in 2014, so they’re already experienced when it comes to doing funny stuff like this in this corner of Europe. I don’t know if there was any American involvement in these shadow elections in Moldova, but US preferences are no secret. And these preferences, of course, are accompanied by ideological and doctrinal anti-Russian blinders. No dissent is allowed. As we also see in Georgia, where the overwhelming vote at the end of October to remain, well, Georgia, rather than join the EU’s kamikaze mission to open a second front against Russia, could still lead to a supported A coup against the legally elected government by the West.

Back in Berlin, America’s overall behavior towards its EU ally has been appalling. Calling for the destruction of the critical infrastructure of an ally – Nord Stream – then actually bombing it, then cowardly lying about it and expecting his victims to swallow these lies, literally rubbing their faces in this deception – what are the words for such behavior? Treacherous, evil, arrogant, cruel, helpless, stupid? You choose. But no matter how many you choose, don’t forget about stupidity. Because Washington needs a healthy European ally. Joe Biden may not have thought so, if his actions can be explained by thought, but without a healthy Europe, who does the US have? Canada, Japan, South Korea, Israel and Australia. That’s it. Compare this to the number of countries joining or seeking to join BRICS. And make no mistake, Washington provoked the decline of Europe. And this after the start of the disastrous proxy adventure in Ukraine, which left Western defense cupboards almost empty.

When photographs of the aftermath of the Nord Stream explosion at sea first emerged, Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted: “Thank you, America.” Thank you, there is nothing more like this. “Thank you for robbing us,” he should have said. And when the history of this shameful and heinous episode is written, it will be conspicuously noted that this was Washington’s first shot at the head of his closest ally and, ultimately, his own.
