Wow, I totally believe that some random Ukrainians rented a small sailboat, filled it with hundreds of pounds of explosives and high tech diving gear, and then managed to plant the explosives hundreds of feet below the surface on the middle of a busy shipping lane. That's definitely what happened.
This is such a bad cover story that the reporters can't even prevent themselves from questioning it. Didn't stop the NYT from running a big headline tho.
Diving experts say such extended deep dives would have required a decompression chamber for the divers, which would not fit on a yacht.
Lmao this is so weak
"Look, just because it's literally not possible doesn't mean it didn't happen"
-Der Spiegel, apparently
Watching a bunch of guys pack an implausible amount of explosives and a decompression chamber into a yacht on my vacation and never telling a soul.
What's even the point of this bullshit, at least the previous story of "Russia did it" was technically feasible.
Seems kinda like a means of slowly getting everyone to accept the inevitable (the the US did it).
Similar to how years after the invasion of Iraq, everyone was in agreement that "well of course there were no WMDs"
Slowly slide the west into “hmm maybe Ukraine bad” mindset in order to withdraw support without losing face
Nah, America will pivot to "Well, we need to fund them anyway".
I think it's a power move to demonstrate the complete futility of truth.
It's always nice to see Dick Wolff get to loosen up a bit :wolff-shining:
I still can't get over the fact that Biden openly threatened Nord Stream on live TV and some people are still willing to believe it wasn't the US.
:geordi-yes: exactly, all they have is the same lie
Not even new lies, just the same one
If the Ghost of Kiev was a boat, would she marry Zelda?
"Hello, Sailboat Rental shop, how can I help you? Yes, we have two fiberglass sailboats with decompression chambers and cranes available for rental this weekend. Would you like to reserve one? For six people? Great! We'll see you tomorrow."
doesn't even have a
well deckmoon pool / wet porchEDIT: used the wrong term, well deck is a different thing
just some dudes on a yacht (nothing sexual) damaging critical energy infrastructure without decompression chambers (again nothing sexual)
without decompression chambers (again nothing sexual)
turning into liquid tang with my homies, dudes rock
We love our big beautiful boaters, don't we folks?:trump-kaneki:
A chartered yacht!? At this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
May I see your anonymous sources?
It gets better: Their sources are anonymous sources from within the US intelligence community.
I know the made-up boat was a lot bigger but I'm chuckling to myself thinking about some Ukrainian guys and a thousand+ pounds of explosives all packed into a little Sunfish.
Oh yeah sure. 6 dudes with thousands of pounds of explosives and specialized diving equipment on that little sailing yacht. The boat is significantly smaller inside than your average 53 foot semi trailer. It tops out at 7 knots. According to the article, it would have taken at least 4 separate dives, each one lasting several hours. All while remaining unseen in an extremely busy shipping corridor.
A YACHT lmaoo they really think anyone's gonna believe this
This is taken straight out of Grand Theft Auto script, you and a bunch of other "gifted geniuses" with absolutely no outside backing are able to do insanely crazy shit... this is the same lmao.
Did these "Ukrainians" happen to be employed, trained, and supplied by the US military?
Nope. Just a few lone wolves with training and equipment purchased from anonymous sympathetic non-state actors:epsteingelion:
"we need to fund the Taliban against Russia"..."we need to fund ISIS against Russia"..."we need to fund Ukrainian nazis against Russia" HOWS IT GOING, WOKE LIBS?
