Here's Jeffery Sachs on the topic of the Nordstream sabotage;

Of course the host is someone who was evicted from Faux news / Operation Murdoching Bird. But still, Jeffery Sachs had a career as a top advisor at the UN. Many people consider him credible.

Bottom line; he says the USA blew up the Nordstream and that there is evidence to prove it.

Regarding the blurp, "people in Kansas don't care if the people in Europe freeze", what can I say ? We were allowed to vote about abortion. There was no vote regarding this sabotage.

FYI, I never said it was not us. My comments were about the fact that inflicting harm on one's self to control the narrative is in their play book.

Somebody blew up the Kerch bridge, Putin's pride & joy and essential lifeline to Crimea and troops in Kherson oblast.



What's interesting is that it appears as though it may have been a truck bomb that came from the Russian side of the bridge. Hmmm.

Well hit and wondering about the reports saying that there is limited traffic over the bridge when one whole span is in the water. Reminds me of the Bay Bridge section in the bay after the Loma Prieta earthquake.

From what I have read, suspicion is that the the Ukrainian special forces planted a bomb in the truck before it left Russia and then remote detonated it. Hit them where it hurts, bridge was Putin's pride and joy.

For this bridge's inauguration, Putin himself drove a dump truck across it. Poetic justice?

I'm guessing a Chechen suicide bomber.

There's video of the truck that blew up. If it stopped moving, it did not stop long enough for an escape vehicle to get clear.

The ordinance used appears to be military grade, more powerful than most terrorist bombs. The explosion had the sparklies, like an ammo depot going up.

It doesn't appear that anyone is suspecting Putin of this one. The Ukrainians are rejoicing.

Joke making the rounds;.

“Hey, Yuri, did you hear we’re at war with NATO!”

“Astounding, Ivan, how are we doing?”

“We’ve lost 80,000 men, the storied 1st Guards Tank Army has been wiped out, more than 1,000 of out latest tanks are burned out hulks, we have to get old T62s out of storage to stay in the war, we’ve lost more generals in war than any nation ever, our flag ship is at the bottom of the Black Sea, we’re losing airbases hundreds of kilometers behind lines, land it took us 3 months to take was taken back from us in 3 days, our fleet has retreated from Sevastopol, and we can’t come within 300 kilometers of Ukraine’s coast without getting one of our few remaining warships blown up!”

“That’s terrible, Ivan! How is NATO doing?”

“Oh, they haven’t even started yet".

Not sure how much to trust the Bloomberg network, but this is interesting.

It's a claim that MI6 (British Intelligence) concocted the plan to blow up the Crimean bridge.

No one is sure who did it, but they speculate the truck driver didn't even know what he was transporting.
