One of the two Ukrainian men responsible for the single largest event of ecoterrorism ever committed, which released 36 million tons CO2e has been arrested in Italy. The second still remains at large.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crkz1jl5j06oUkrainian held in Italy over Nord Stream gas pipelines blast mysteryGerman prosecutors say a Ukrainian man has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea, several months after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.The man, identified only as Serhii K, was arrested in the province of Rimini and was part of a group who planted explosives under the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines from Russia to Germany, federal prosecutors say.The blasts severed a key source of natural gas for Europe when leaders were facing an energy crisis triggered by Russia's war.No-one admitted carrying out the attack, and Ukraine has denied involvement.The Ukrainian, who was detained by Italy's carabinieri military police stationed in the northern coastal resort of Misano Adriatico, is suspected of being one of the masterminds of the operation.Prosecutors said he was part of a team that had charted a yacht and sailed from the German port of Rostock to an area of the Baltic near the Danish island of Bornholm.Although Nord Stream 2 never went into operation, Nord Stream 1's two pipelines had provided a steady supply 1,200km (745 miles) under the Baltic from the Russian coast to north-eastern Germany.Shortly before Russia's invasion, Germany had cancelled its process to approve Nord Stream 2, which was 100% owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom. Months later, Russia shut down Nord Stream 1.Then, on 26 September 2022, several explosions were recorded that ruptured three of the four pipelines.Mystery surrounded the identity of the saboteurs, with Russia coming under Western suspicion and Moscow blaming the US and UK.
German prosecutors issued a warrant for the arrest of a diver named Volodymyr Z last August.They said on Thursday that the suspect held in Rimini would be brought before an investigating judge after he was extradited from Italy.The prosecutors said the man was "strongly suspected of jointly causing an explosion and of sabotage undermining the constitution".There is no evidence so far linking Ukraine, Russia or any other state to the attacks
>>1428190>German prosecutors say a Ukrainian man has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea, several months after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.I bet not even the most rabid retard would claim that Russia blew up their own pipeline now... But I've been surprised before
>>1428196Judging by the silence in the thread from them, they must be feeling pretty stupid right about now
Wasn't this supposed to be an act of extreme skill and technical expertise? How did he do that?
>>1428249You can do great things under the cover of darkness…> CaptchaWinewater.
>>1428249Governmental support. The biggest ecoterrorists in the world are the tRump government. This administration that tries to terrorize any and all ecological science
>>1428190How does a group of random eco-activists manage to carry out a military operation on the ocean floor 100 meters down, something that only a few countries' militaries are expert at?
>>1428252Welp better get to work burning more teslas to save the environment then. That lithium smoke isn't going to fill the air itself.
>>1428267Pipelines are incredibly vulnerable. How to get/make explosives is available all over the internet if you know where to look, and plenty of people have access to the skills/equipment to do basic bitch diving. 100m isn't some sort of military only feet. That's still within the non-professional range.I don't even know why you would bother lying about that. It's not like info on diving is hard to find either. That's the upper end of technical diving.
>>1428249Gee I wonder what sort of support and training, two ukrainians, one of them confirmed ex-military, could possibly have had in an ecoterrorist plot meant to disrupt a country at war with ukraine
>>1428275Wait, so the cope argument went from "this was a secret invisible Russian submarine operating in waters just 100m deep that covertly detonated a pipeline as part of a false flag to sell more Russian gas by destroying Russian capabilities to export gas" to just "guys it was just two random people who cracked a fragile PVC pipe just below the surface of the water using the internet and a bit of good ol elbow grease!"
>>1428280>Wait, so the cope argument went fromNo, its still at one guy selfbumping their russian cope thread to avoid talking about all the ways Trump is fucking over America
>>1428190>released 36 million tons CO2ethere's about 50mt co2e released every year, meaning that these two conservatives advanced climate change by 9 months all on their own
>>1428191>Volodymyr Z
>>1428290It's actually more interesting reading a German language article. It has a lot more information According to this article, it implies that the fact this was done by ukrainians has been known for a while>https://bild.de/politik/spiegel-berichtet-mutmasslicher-nord-stream-angreifer-gefasst--68a6edfb93468d1ba10d0326Serhii K. is said to have been involved in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines. This was announced by the Federal Prosecutor's Office. The man is said to have belonged to a group that planted explosive devices on the Nord Stream 1 and gas pipelines near the Danish Baltic Sea island of Bornholm in September 2022 Nord Stream 2 placed. The man is accused, among other things, of collaboratively causing an explosive explosion and anti-constitutional sabotage.Investigators have been searching intensively for the pipeline blasters for years. At first Russia was suspected of being behind the sabotage, later the trail led towards Ukraine. About a dozen men and a woman from Ukraine are said to have been involved, including civilians and soldiers. Only a few names are publicly known. One is Volodymyr Sch, diving expert for particularly deep waters. He is wanted by German investigators with an arrest warrant. The „Spiegel“ reported on this
>>1428274How many teslas do you think were burned?
>>1428291>>1428291>the fact this was done by ukrainians has been known for a whileSabotage idea came while drunkAs the US newspaper „Wall Street Journal“ reported, a handful of Ukrainian military and business people are said to have come up with the plan to blow up the pipeline during a fun evening. The goal: weaken Russia.Meanwhile, Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig praised the arrest and the „impressive success of the investigation“ of the Federal Prosecutor's Office. She spoke of a „highly complex operation“. The pipeline explosion must be investigated, including criminally.The explosions on September 26, 2022 severely damaged the two pipelines, with Serhii K. now being transferred from Italy to Germany and brought before an investigating judge.
>>1428294>>1428291>>1428290Oh shit.It was approved by a Ukrainian general and Zelensky https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839cPrivate businessmen funded the shoestring operation, which was overseen by a top general; President Zelensky approved the plan, then tried unsuccessfully to call it off
These guys are just patsies to satisfy the midwits and middle government bureaucrats who pay attention, but still blindly believe in the corporate hyperreality. We all know the US gubermint did it, and of course they did - kneecapping Francs and Germany, and keeping Germany disconnected from the Russians is key to keeping the USA in control of Europe. The first Secretary General of NATO, Hastings Ismay put it best: Keep the Americans in, keep the Russians out, and keep Germany down - that's the purpose of NATO. That's the whole purpose of the Cold War and the post-Cold War expansions of NATO, and of the 2014 coup in Ukraine and starting the process of entering Ukraine into NATO. It was always about control, not ideology or democracy or even protecting capitalism - it's purely about control. These forces that control the United States government and the rest of the G7 nations would even destroy the USA and the G7 nations themselves if the alternative was to lose control over the world. Even the prospect of a near-peer contemporary not under their control is too much for them. These forces have controlled or at least influenced the destiny of humanity for at least 500 years if not longer, and now for the first time in centuries there are actual independent political forces emerging - the sheer existence of which threaten to completely topple the very system of control. Perhaps these forces will destroy the world so they can later emerge from some place of refuge and lord over the shattered remains. Maybe nothing will happen. Maybe history really will bend towards justice in the end. Who knows? All I know is that this story is a crock of bullshit, lmao.
>>1428312Or of course the USSR was an independent political force but realistically speaking in the face of the USA it was like a kid finding their abusive dad's gun (nuclear plans) and using it to keep their dad at bay. The BRICS nations actually represent a true geopolitical counterweight to whatever hidden empire currently rules the world. That's why they must either destroy the BRICS or destroy the world itself.
>create one of the largest ecological disasters in the last twenty years >blame it on the russians to drag NATO into the warI hope all these nafo faggots are held accountable.
>>1428321NATO was dragged into a war?
there is a literal russia shill in this thread. lol. what a faggo
Tell me about the ghost of Kyiv. Does he do it for free too?
>>1428292Too many.
>>1428325You are delusional.This was a huge news story when it happened, and now it's being reported that Zelensky authorized it and theyve started to arrest the responsible people.You retards literally all have the same playbook. You get blown the fuck out and end up looking stupid and so you just start calling everyone a Russian. It's been your playbook for nearly 10 years now and it's not changing anytime soon
russia shill is melting down. lol
>>1428325No one is falling for your bullshit, fed. Your bosses should be terrified.
>>1428354LOL
>>1428337Keep it coming, clanker
>>1428297>It was approved by a Ukrainian general and Zelensky>https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c>“An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash,” said a senior German official familiar with the probe.Top fucking kek lmaoffs this is comedy gold
>>1428297For fucks sake dude this is damning. Zelensky authorized his military and intelligence wing to conduct a terrorist attack on Germany to get back at russia>Within days, Zelensky approved the plan, according to the four people familiar with the plot. All arrangements were made verbally, leaving no paper trail.But the next month, the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD learned of the plot and warned the CIA, according to several people familiar with the Dutch report. U.S. officials then promptly informed Germany, according to U.S. and German officials.>The CIA warned Zelensky’s office to stop the operation, U.S. officials said. The Ukrainian president then ordered Zalyzhniy to halt it, according to Ukrainian officers and officials familiar with the conversation as well as Western intelligence officials. But the general ignored the order, and his team modified the original plan, these people said. >The general tasked with commanding the operation enlisted some of Ukraine’s top special-operations officers with experience in orchestrating high-risk clandestine missions against Russia to help coordinate the attack.>One of them was Roman Chervinsky, a decorated colonel who previously served in Ukraine’s main security and intelligence service, the SBU.
>>1428252>Ukraine, which was Biden's baby, causes massive climate damage >But Trump won't let trannies force paper straws on us that's just as badThis is how delusional Democrats are
Posting in a russia shill thread. I'm sure they'll melt down at my post too, lol
>>1428455Deactivate yourself, clanker
>>1428454It's kinda insane actually. According to the wsj article the original plan to do this was drafted by the Obama administration after crimea voted to join Russia, they just never did it, probably because authorizing a terrorist attack on an EU country wasn't really a great idea to begin with
>>1428469Hard disagree. Drastically cut Europe's reliance on Russian fossil fuels.
>>1428498I guess? Zelensky really fucked over Germany which was their largest benefactor outside of the US
>>1428502>Although Nord Stream 2 never went into operation, Nord Stream 1's two pipelines had provided a steady supply 1,200km (745 miles) under the Baltic from the Russian coast to north-eastern Germany.>Shortly before Russia's invasion, Germany had cancelled its process to approve Nord Stream 2, which was 100% owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom. Months later, Russia shut down Nord Stream 1.lol they were already not using them.
>>1428505and the Russians already showed they were willing to cut off access because they were pissytoo unreliable
>>1428505>Guys, nothing happenedZelenskys terrorism cost Germany billions, Uniper and SEFE were nationalized after €1B+ losses, their gas prices spiked, and they began (and are still) still leasing foreign oil platforms at great cost to make up for the loss
>>1428505>lol they were already not using themLying clanker. Zelensky destroyed both pipes of nordstream 1, the one what were in use.Zelensky damaged only one pipe of the two in nordstream 2
>>1428469>crimea voted to join RussiaThis is misleading af. Putin depopulated it before that happened.
>>1428513>Putin depopulated it before that happened.How do?
>>1428516By taking over the province with Wagner thugshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_annexation_of_Crimea>On 27 February, Russian special forces without insignia[36] seized strategic sites across Crimea.[37][38] Russia at first denied involvement,[39] but Putin later admitted that they were Russian troops.[40] As the armed men occupied Crimea's parliament, it dismissed the Crimean government, installed the pro-Russian Aksyonov government, and announced a referendum on Crimea's status. The referendum was held under Russian occupation and, according to the Russian-installed authorities, the result was overwhelmingly in favor of joining Russia. The next day, 17 March 2014, Crimea's authorities declared independence and requested to join Russia.[41][42] Russia formally incorporated Crimea on 18 March 2014 as the Republic of Crimea and federal city of Sevastopol.[43][40] Following the annexation,[44] Russia militarized the peninsula and warned against any outside intervention.[45]>Ukraine and many other countries condemned the annexation and consider it to be a violation of international law and Russian agreements safeguarding the territorial integrity of Ukraine. The annexation led to the other members of the G8 suspending Russia from the group[46] and introducing sanctions. The United Nations General Assembly also rejected the referendum and annexation, adopting a resolution affirming the "territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders",[47][48] and referring to the Russian action as a "temporary occupation".[49]
>>1428517Who was depopulated? I see no mention of that in what you posted, it seems like you just randomly made up the claim that crimea was "depopulated" before a vote.You lied, didn't you?
>>1428522>It's a retarded gaslighting sealioning IvanIt figureshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crimean_status_referendum>The Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People had called for a boycott of the referendum.[6] Several hundred residents of Crimea, mainly Crimean Tatars, left Crimea for security reasons according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.[52][53] The BBC reported that most of the Crimean Tatars that they interviewed were boycotting the vote. [54]>A ballot for voting on referendum written in three languages: Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar>There were two choices to choose from on the ballot. Voters were able to choose only one of these.[55] The choices reflected the following stances:[56][57]>> Choice 1: Do you support the reunification of Crimea with Russia with all the rights of a federal subject of the Russian Federation?>> Choice 2: Do you support the restoration of the Constitution of the Republic of Crimea in 1992 and the status of the Crimea as part of Ukraine?[58]>The referendum's available choices did not include keeping the status quo of retaining arrangements enacted by the 1998 Constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Additionally, the meaning of the second choice is unclear because there were two revisions of the Crimean constitution in 1992.[59][60] The original 1992 constitution was adopted together with a declaration of independence, but the parliament then amended the constitution one day later to affirm that Crimea "was a part of Ukraine".[b][62]>Many commentators, including those at The New York Times, Kyiv Post, and Fox News, argued that both choices would result in de facto independence.
>>1428524And yet still nothing about Russia depopulating crimea. You lied. You made it up.Terminate yourself, you lying clanker. This bit of yours where you make a wild claim and cite a bunch of unrelated garbage is getting quite old.
Look like Ivan is pretending to not be able to read again.> Several hundred residents of Crimea, mainly Crimean Tatars, left Crimea for security reasons according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
>>1428534its getting late in America, russia shill. Wrap it up
>>1428535>Several hundred residents of Crimea, mainly Crimean Tatars, left Crimea for security reasons according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.Umm so they left on their own free will?>>1428536Does your clankerscript tell you to call people Russian when you get caught hallucinating and lying?
>>1428540get on the scooter russia shill
>>1428540It wasn't their will for the country to be invaded by quasi-military thugs who took over the government and issued the sham referendum, no. But you already knew that and are playing dumb and unable to use google on purpose.
>>1428543So let me get this straight. You said that "crimea voted to join Russia" was an unfair statement because Russia "depopulated" crimea. And your evidence is that crimea held a vote to join Russia, it passed, and 100 people voluntarily left the country?pretty unconvincing argument honestly.
>>1428545shouldn't you be punitively raping men or something
Is it me or are the Russian shills here getting worse at gaslighting?
>>1428547>>1428550It not anyone's fault but your own that you lied
leftists are all eco terrorists as well they're out there destroying teslas i'm sure that's amazign for the environment mhmm delicious burning batteries
>>1428681Personally I don't see how caring for the environment and not polluting it should be/has to be a left vs right thingIn reality, American left wants to limit carbon emissions, and they are right to want that, but they are also against nuclear energy and industrializing to build solarRepublicans want cheap energy for the US and refer to most carbon credit schemes as scams, and they are pretty much right, but until trump signed an EO to open up nuclear, they were against doing anything but supporting fossil fuels
>>1428694I'd agree if the leftists didn't go on a push saying you were a terrible human being for not buying an EV think of the environment you horrible people, we don't care its more expensive just get one.And now do a 180 because the person they bought the cars from is now on their evil list.The hypocrisy is what i'm annoyed at, republicans are selfish money first environmental parasites I don't think anyone'll deny that but liberals are that on top of being hypocrites.
>>1428699fuck off elon
>ecoterroristHas Trump sold that Tesla he bought outside the White House yet?
>>1428699Good post
>>1428190When will they be arresting Zelensky?
