Blinken has called the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline a "Tremendous Opportunity" -- yet another Freudian slip removing doubts on who really bombed the pipeline of the world's largest nuclear power, risking escalation toward World War 3:


Blinken Calls Nord Stream Sabotage a ‘Tremendous Opportunity’

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has welcomed the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, calling it a “tremendous opportunity” to divert European Union nations away from Russian energy resources during the oncoming winter cold.

Blinken boasted on Friday that the US is now “the top provider of [liquefied natural gas (LNG)] to Europe,” adding that in addition to exporting its own fuel to Europe, the US is working with European leaders to find methods to “reduce demand” and “speed up the transition to renewables.”

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to terminate our reliance on Russian energy once and for all, and therefore to deprive [Russian President] Vladimir Putin of the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial aspirations,” the top US diplomat continued.

When you get your “news” on right wing social media from a pro Putin mouthpiece, this is what you get.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.

Perhaps you are trying to argue that if the US did nothing and let the Russians march across Ukraine while NATO fell apart that Europe would be safe for more Russian oil and gas.

That’s what the isolationists in trump world think.

And since trump was alway beholden to Putin, he supported the Russian invasion, and still obviously does.

So, now you have to cook up and excuse that the Ukraine War is somehow something that was cooked up by “bureaucrats in Washington”.

I suppose you don;’t realize how childish and parochial that sounds.

And, of course, you have to deliberately ignore 20 years of Russian brinksmanship over gas supplies to Europe, which have been the constant subject of Russians attempts to politically blackmail Europe.

No, getting off the oil tit is the best option for the EU. They knew that before Putin’s invasion.

Now, the war has created the political imperative to double and triple down on such investments.

No, the EU and the US both understand that renewables are the key to getting the EU away from Russian fossil fuel dependence.

Even as folks like you decry such efforts and advocate continued dependence.

Never mind the immorality fo the war you are tacitly still supporting.

So just come out and say it -- you want WW3. You want to blow up key infrastructure of the world's largest nuclear power, and you think nothing bad's going to come of it.

My advice: if you want to get yourself killed, then do it alone -- don't drag the rest of us along with you to your doom.

What would have been better, is for the US not to get involved in Ukraine's politics to begin with, in backing a fascist regime that clearly subjugated and oppressed the native Russian population there, turning them into worse than 3rd-class citizens. Victoria Nuland has been calling the shots in US policy on Ukraine -- she's a Ukrainian herself, and she's a NeoCon warmonger. She was involved in Bush-Cheney's illegal invasion of Iraq, and she was involved in bringing fascist to power in Ukraine. You don't mind this, because you just want to be a blind cheerleader for your "team". It's truly pathetic.
 
Oh, we blew up the pipeline in a clever plot to cause ourselves higher energy prices and thus inflation overall? We cleverly plotted to cause our European allies more unpleasantness?

Really clever theory there, @sanman. You totally *got* Biden.:rolleyes:

That gonna be your strategy for the thread? High-pitched blather mixed with accusations that others want WWIII, as apparently evidenced by their refusal to parrot the stupid Russian propaganda you're waving around?

Biden created that inflation all by his lonesome.

Hey, with senile figurehead puppet Biden on the throne, there's nobody responsible in charge -- just a lot of special interest underlings zealots running amok and doing whatever they please, since they don't care about causing pain to the American people. They see the American people as some annoying nuisance they have to put up with while they pursue their favorite pet special interest causes, and couldn't give a damn about the suffering that ordinary Americans would have to endure.

When you have ruling Democrats shutting down oil & natural gas industries in the US to drive up energy prices, while naively promoting "alternative energy" supplies that are clearly not up to the mark, then it's pretty obvious that these people aren't serious, they're just spouting fluffy propaganda that's not rooted in reality.

Again -- bombing the key infrastructure of the world's largest nuclear power is the fastest way to get us to WW3.

If you don't believe that can cause WW3, then you don't believe anything can cause WW3 (oh, except if your beloved corrupt backwater Ukraine doesn't get more billions -- then somehow that would cause WW3 according to you -- crazy)

Those who argue as you do are clearly not serious, and clearly not very attached to reality. The world doesn't need WW3, and it doesn't need crazy denialists either.

Blinken admitted it and Biden was asked how he could blow up the pipeline since it wasn't controlled by the US and he said something like "We could do it" or words to that effect.

These people who are saying it would cause inflation are just downright stupid fools, to put it mildly. The people behind Biden (most likely Soros and Obama) WANT us to be struggling to get oil. Their administration was gleeful about gas costing well over $5.00 a gallon. It's what they WANT! As for inflation, the more inflation there is, the easier it is to reduce the federal deficit. When it costs $20.00 for a loaf of bread, and $150,000. to buy a car, the debt is much easier to pay off with those cheap dollars.

Many many people will rake in the dough when we go electric and green. People like Blinken, Gore, Podesta. If you think the cost of gas is high now, just wait until the states and feds tax you per mile driven because their gas tax revenues have fallen.

Haha - McCarthyite Leftists now wrapping themselves in the flag of "patriotism" :ROFLMAO:-- just goes to prove the old saying that Patriotism is the Last Refuge of Scoundrels.
 
Blame Biden....not America.

These Leftists bash America every chance they get -- oh, except when their beloved crooks in the Whitehouse are in charge -- then they want to claim that any criticism of their crooked masters is "un-American"

So pathetic how lame these arguments are. They're too mentally lazy to come up with anything better. November is going to give them all a rude awakening.



U.S. Sees Attacks on Russian Nord Stream Pipelines as ‘Tremendous Opportunity’: State Secretary Blinken​

U,S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters on September 30 that the sabotage of Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline was seen in Washington as a “tremendous opportunity” to reduce European energy imports from Russia. This follows years of American calls under multiple administrations to use more costly American LNG over Russian gas to deny Moscow both revenues and a significant strategic asset. European states were “indefinitely deprived” of Russian gas via Nord Stream, Russian energy operator Gazprom confirmed, after Moscow had invested billions in the project which was at the heart of its economic integration with Europe. Secretary Blinken confirmed that the U.S. had now become “the leading supplier of [liquefied natural gas] to Europe,” highlighting that Washington was also working with European leaders to “decrease demand” and “speed up the transition to renewables." “It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from [Russian President] Vladimir Putin the weaponisation of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs,” he added.

I didn’t say that.

You’re the one supporting the Russian invasion. That makes you the warmonger here.

And you’re telling us that it would have been better if the US had stood aside, continuing the trump policy of undermining NATO and the EU and let the Red Army march across Ukraine, to be followed by Russian intimidation campaigns to force the former Soviet satellite states back into the Russian sphere of influence.

Taht was Putin’s stated goal, and trump supported it.

A full betrayal of the legacy of Roosevelt and Churchill. And a betrayal of everything every GI who fought in WWII stood for.

I was attacked by people like you when I predicted that the trump regime would devote itself to betraying the idea of the US as a world leader.

Of course, my prediction came true. And trump’s remaining stooges still support it.

If, as most experts predict, it turns out that Russia blew up the pipelines themselves, you two won't have any criticism for them because you deeply sympathize with Russia and its agenda.

Russia can just turn off the tap, and stop gas flows. As it was as of Aug no gas was flowing.

Russia had no identifiable need to damage them, as they can just turn off the tap. So what benefit does Russia get from blowing then up?

Being a stooge for Putin and his war of conquest is not reflective of American values. Your empty BS about “leftists“ aside.

The ineptness of this administration knows no bounds and they are looking to get us involved in WW111 so that the warmongers in Senate and Congress and the military can make millions. TRUMP told Europe that they have to reduce their independence on foreign energy and the Germans laughed and snickered at him because those fools are pollyannish and think other countries are just benevolent institutions and will do what Europe asks. That is the mentality of the left. Now Europe will pay a very high price indeed. These fools think they can just turn on the electric switch immediately and fail to realize their electric companies run on fossil fuels. Here in America, the left will not allow nuclear and think we can just depend on solar or wind power, even in states with little sun or wind. They are cray cray.
 
If, as most experts predict, it turns out that Russia blew up the pipelines themselves, you two won't have any criticism for them because you deeply sympathize with Russia and its agenda.
Rest assured, The CIA and other agencies will just deny it, even if there is an American missile stuck in the pipeline. This is what the left does. Recession? What recession? Riots in the ste=reets? What riots? All I see are peaceful demonstrations. Biden senile? Just because he reads the cue cards he needs also tell him who to ask a question of? The border is open? What do you mean? Those are asylum seekers.
