Thank you for connecting all the dots. Most entertaining piece I have read on US foreign policy / skullduggery in ages.

A fine piece again, thank you for summing up what happend so far. You mention one very important point: the behaviour of the German government is trason (Landesverrat). Because, as you state, they actively block an investigation. It is even more so treasonous as Scholz and all of his government knew in advance about the attack and were, thus, complicit. There is another, from my point of view, extremely strange behaviour of all of the Germans: nobody seems to care! Not that we are ruled by Landesverräter and not that our greatest and most benevolent partner, the United States of America attacked us this way. And now humiliate us, adding insult to injury. Why is that possible? Because of the unconditional surrender in 1945 and what followed, I guess. But please: After almost eighty years?

Article 19, of the Nuremberg Trib unal's Constitution , states : The Tribunal shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. (!!!)

Article 21 , The Tribunal SHALL NOT REQUIRE PROOF or "facts of common knowledge " , but shall take judicial notice thereof .

What are they supposed to say? Sorry Germany, we wanted you to buy our more far more expensive natural gas that has to be shipped by boat across an ocean? So we redefined *your* energy security to mean you have to do what we want, even if it wrecks the industrial sector of your economy?

The drunken party where Ukrainians decided to go ahead with the sabotage-at deep diving 260' depth (way beyond recreational depth, and also transporting down and planting high explosives to be remotely detonated) was such a laughable yarn! But the German government is such a clown show that while they're working to dump Ukraine, their tanks are also in the Kursk oblast, risking WW3. Are they suicidal as well as genocidal (Israeli ironclad support)?

Great report.

"The best explanation of the timing of these new revelations is that they are part of dropping the Ukrainian proxy."

I hope this is true, but part of me thinks it could just be temporary cover for the Dems in the run up to the election. They have been viciously attacking all popular critics of their party and policies prior to the convention. The level of Russia hate in the RC of the US is nearly as intense as it's genocidal Zionism. In essence, they are like rabid dogs that will not quit until they are shot down.

A top-level article, because brilliantly written, and analysed.

I think I am almost fully aligned with the author's thinking on this matter, except for one minor detail: I do think there is a "small" band of dissidents in Germany and they are not willing to suffer the loss of Nord Stream. Since Germany still do not have ready combat force to drive US military out even if they want, the only way is to play the American/Polish scripts to blame Ukraine, then somehow get Ukraine to pay back something, or at least stopping the weapon flows, especially now they know Biden is down and Harris does not have an iron-clad victory. Since Ukraine cannot pay it would be USA to pay. Therefore, I believe we would see some genuine effort in Germany to chew on Ukraine in one way or another. However I doubt such effort would ever come to any real compensation to Germany. The largest potential positive result is one day Germany may be again among those who demand US government provide backing for USD as it once happened in the late 60s.

Why can’t Poland extradite the accused. Canada has no problems extraditing people to the US!

The NordStream "revelation" to the western public is one more of the straws in the wind which taken together suggest that the US is preparing to leave Ukraine to its own devices. If true, this will be a welcome step towards peace between Russia and Ukraine, but at the same time it will be a blatant betrayal of a country and a regime which the western propaganda machine characterized as proud and courageous and which the states of the collective west had promised to support "for as long as it takes". The political fallout would exceed that of the flight from Afghanistan and even the exodus from Vietnam in 1975, notwithstanding the fact that western forces have not been officially present on the ground in Ukraine. The deluded section of the western public always understood that the western proxy forces in Vietnam and Afghanistan were a different kind of humanity: Asiatics and "Arabs" respectively. However they had been persuaded that the Ukrainians are "just like us" and betrayal will come as a rude shock which will have domestic political ramifications. The danger is that once freed from the Ukraine imbroglio the west will turn all its attention to those other old foes of western hegemony, the Asiatics, meaning China, and "Arabs", meaning Iran and the Palestinians.

Thank you for another great article. I think the best response to this is absurdity is uproarious laughter. A complete joke, when it isn't the insult to intelligence we've all had to learn to expect here. Then remember the photo of Chancellor Scholz's visit immediately after the bombing to the White House and how he epitomized another of the Empire's lapdogs sitting at the face of the Empire's feet smiling. Then think of either the short-sightedness, unlikely, but not out of the question or, more likely, the cruel indifference to the German economy which is tanking. The more these nations suffered the happier they will be to go to war. Not to mention the devastating environmental impact which the Administration of "The Green New Deal" and Climate Change never addressed, at all.
