I'm not saying the US didn't do it, I just think they'd be smarter than using something that could leave evidence like a return address label. Seems like a couple of charges could be placed and much less remnants to find?Exclusive: U.S. Torpedo Appeared at Explosion Site of the Nord Stream - Global Research

agreed........propaganda is heavy on both sides........first casualty in war is the truth
True. Sharp as a doorknob. I know he isn't actually making decisions though. If he were, he'd have an ice cream truck and a playground on the White House front lawn, and a sign that said "no parents allowed"
Doesn't that sound promising?Stratcom Commander Says U.S. Should Look to 1950s to Regain Competitive Edge
The U.S. must make dramatic, rapid changes in the way it approaches its defense, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command said.www.defense.gov
"This Ukraine crisis that we're in right now, this is just the warmup," Navy Adm. Charles A. Richard, commander of Stratcom, said. "The big one is coming. And it isn't going to be very long before we're going to get tested in ways that we haven't been tested a long time."

Both sides are quick to post when there are civilian casualties, but pretty reluctant to admit to losses of soldiers.
It's sad really. Society doesn't hear or care how many die each day in our own country. The media tells them what to think, and they do. Never do they question the world around them. With the elections going as they are here in AZ, pondering a move to Brazil. At least they stand up.

Yes, the financial fall of the Soviet Union does come to mind. Reagan, and Thatcher as well I assume. Now it seems Pooh Bear doing it from one side, Putin from the other, and our leadership being general where's, taking the money to be tag teamed.
If you bring facts into the argument, people call you Pro Russian. You, I can certainly say, are not...and yet you can still have a realistic view.As a young [ 10 at the time ] lad, experiencing the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against Russian oppression, I'm no fan of either Russia or Ukraine obviously. I'd like some of you to read this piece if you have a few minutes. We can all hate Putin and his people, but there's some legitimate reason behind what started this situation in Ukraine by Russia.
Blame the Deep State for Carnage in Ukraine
The foreign policy establishment knew it was needlessly provoking Russia at every step along the way.www.theamericanconservative.com
excerpts from the article.
government elites, intelligence community, and the military establishment—has spent decades threatening and provoking Russia by pushing NATO up against their border.
In 1990, as the Soviet Union was beginning to break apart and the possibility of peace throughout most of the world was in sight, the United States—in no less a personage than James Baker, U.S. secretary of State—pledged that NATO would not move eastward toward the Russian border.
At that point, it had been less than 50 years since Russia had been invaded. The horror of the Second World War cost the Russian people an estimated 25 to 35 million lives.
Since Americans have never experienced a foreign invasion, they have no concept of that horror. (The war of 1812 was a brief and small fight.)
Secretary of State Baker did the right thing to assuage a legitimate fear and facilitate the breakup and the freeing of hundreds of millions of people captive in the Soviet system. But before the ink was dry, the U.S. foreign policy establishment as expressed in NATO and the E.U. began breaking its word.
The elites in the U.S. and Europe put together a plan to expand NATO all the way to the borders of Russia. This cynical move openly ignored and violated the West's pledge.
The view, bluntly stated, is that expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era.
''I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,'' said Mr. Kennan from his Princeton home. ''I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake.
In 2000, Vladimir Putin was elected president. Since the bombing of Serbia, America and NATO's participation in wars and the willful wreckage of other countries such as Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and a number of countries in Africa, Central, and South America, has not gone unnoticed by the Russian leadership.
No serious person in Washington can say they were not warned of the impact of their power-lust in expanding NATO. But the lie continues.
William Burns, Biden's director of the CIA—the agency charged with knowing how other nations will act and react—has had a ringside seat on Russian and NATO policy for more than 30 years. In 1990, Burns served under Secretary of State James Baker in a planning role during the period when Baker made the pledge to Russia that NATO would not advance past the borders of the newly reunited Germany.
The intensity of Russia's antipathy to the expansion of NATO toward their border, and Ukraine in particular, was accentuated in a 2008 report by Burns—at that time U.S. ambassador to the Russian Federation—to Bush II Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin)
.Even if Biden’s CIA director was not able to bring his extensive experience to bear this year, others in the State Department knew full well how Russia would react to open moves to add Ukraine to the membership rolls of NATO. Yet Victoria Nuland, mandarin in the neocon ranks of the foreign policy establishment and State Department, in 2013 boasted that the U.S. had spent more than $5 billion promoting pro-Western "civil society" groups in Ukraine since the end of the Cold War.
After numerous rebuffed Russian diplomatic overtures to resolve the dangers posed by an unfriendly and NATO-armed Ukraine, Russia did act—as Kennan, Burns, and others predicted. The Russians moved in 2014 to defend their southern border. By supporting local Russian-speaking separatists, Russia was able to secure Crimea, a peninsula that had been central to the Russian Navy for 300 years. Did they go further? No. Did they start a full-on war? No. But they did as they had promised and moved to defend their nation’s southern front.

In regards to war being ugly...When Russia took Crimea, Ukraine cut the irrigation water to the farms in the region. Major food issues, but that was more on Russia I'd think.
I'm thinking Volodomere has pretty much outlived his usefulness. He's getting to brazen with his begging to the media. He'll be replaced, just as he did his predecessor. All puppets, easily replaced with another mouthpiece.If I was Vlad, I wouldn’t stop.
Look at this.
And dumb fucks across this nation will continue to support their money laundering.
Just some minor coincidences going on there. nothing to see. But they impeached Trump over a phone call to Ukraine.
That's a hell of an "Oops"

Raytheon is replenishing as fast as they can. They’ve built new facilities, and are building more here.
We’re at 'a tipping point’ in Ukraine, Ernst says
Winning the war in Ukraine could come down to speed -- how quickly the White House and Congress can authorize spending on weapons and how fast companies such as Raytheon Technologies can build them and get them in the field.
Ending the war in Ukraine could come down to speed — how quickly the White House and Congress can authorize spending on weapons and how fast manufacturers can build them and get them to where they are needed.
The last contract signed with Raytheon Technologies — parent company of Cedar Rapids’ largest employer, Collins Aerospace — from the U.S. Department of Defense for Stinger missiles, for example, was in 2002, according to Greg Hayes, Raytheon CEO and chairman.
Hayes referred to the Stinger and Javelin missile systems — both built by Raytheon — as the “co-MVPs” during the early part of the Ukraine war.
However, he noted the first 10 months of the war used up 13 years of Stingers and five years of Javelins.
