The US Didn't Sabotage the NordStream Pipeline, Right?

We didn't surreptitiously commit an act of war* -- or pay an ally to pull off such a deed -- just to help win victory... did we?  We Americans of a certain age, if we've known success, we've cheated, just a little, on the way up, haven't we?  Skirted the rules, played just this side of "legal", maxxed out on our joint citizenships, owned property in foreign countries where we claimed to be natives, adopted children specially, never really paid our "fair share" in taxes, qualified "our own" as indigent letting the taxpayers share our family care...

But we wouldn't really  "cheat" where we killed a lot of poor people by cutting their heat, would we?  If we did, mark that down on the Change agenda.  That's an old man's trick.  When we say, "Not in Our Name", we mean it.  And time indeed is on our side...

We will clean this country up with or without your help, elite cheaters.  Teach your children well.  The future is the young, they are coming for you and your evil ways.  If you took too much, and you cheated to get there, be on notice and watch your backs.  That's no way to live or prosper in the end.

The Truth Shall Set Ye Free.  Whoever pulled this one off is effectively killing off the planet.  What wise mind could have thought that was a good move?  Wasn't me.

Believe him?  Seems an awful low-level tool sent out to make the denial here...

"Let me be clear, the United States categorically denies any involvement in this incident and we reject an assertion saying the contrary," Richard Mills, the U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations, said at the meeting."

That's just the way it is. Some things will never change. That's just the way it is...

Ah, but don't you believe them.

U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Friday discussed protection of critical infrastructure "in the wake of the apparent sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea," the White House said.

Analysts say it is possible the damage was inflicted by devices that are available on the commercial market but that given the scale and precision, it was more likely carried out by an actor with access to more sophisticated technology.

The magnitude of the explosions probably corresponded to an explosive load of several hundred kilos, the permanent missions to the U.N. of Denmark and Sweden said in a letter dated Thursday to the French U.N. Mission, which holds the presidency of the 15-member council for September.

The ruptures also represent a risk to the climate. The pipeline leaks may mark the biggest single release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, recorded, the UN Environment Programme said.

No offense, but I don't think any of the reporters in Washington DC today are motivated to really learn what is going on in US foreign policy, or ask any hard questions of our ... "leaders".  Like so much, they are leaving that to the schoolchildren coming up to rectify our probable military errors of the past decade.

Just because WE might have forgotten what was done in our name, and to whom, and we've moved on, does not mean the world has.  We really didn't learn a damned thing from those early 21st century wars.  They seem to have simply primed the pump for the continued environmental destruction today, including cheapening human life.

"And when you talk about destruction, don't you know mister you can count me out..."
