“That’s how capitalism works”!!

Has he been scrolling r/antiwork and r/collapse, signing in at the Bear of Hex, keep a copy of the Communist Manifesto bedside?

Is this just a joke?

On a serious note, if it’s not, how far are the puppets in government prepared to go in what could be a cataclysmic moment of comeuppance for the Economic Terrorists of Wall St?

    Biden may be senile now, but he was a slick operator throughout his career. Signs of it still poke though at times today. For example, Biden was the one that stopped the special forces from just using a timer on the explosives to blow up Nordstream, according to Seymour Hersh.

      Not just a timer but like a two day timer. That would have gone off two days after some massive NATO sea exercises in the area. Not suspicious in the slightest

      Can you unpack this? What's gained or lost by using/non using a timer?

        Well if there's a fixed timer on the bomb, you can't control when it blows up. And if it blows up, say, 36 hours after a NATO exercise in the area, it can arouse suspicion

        By controlling when it explodes, you can choose when it blows up. Allows for tactical flexibility and plausible deniability.

            What do you mean? There could be a circumstance where they want to abort the mission, and more importantly having the bombs go off right away is far more suspicious.

              Pretty sure what RonJonGuaido is saying is that "of course you'd use a remote detonator instead of a timer. It's obvious a timer would be foolish and anyone who doesn't come immediately to that conclusion is an imbecile." And I agree. It's not shrewd of Biden if he's the one who suggested it, it's shocking how incompetent the other conspirators were if there was ever even discussion of just going with a timer.

                The issue with the remote detonation according to the report was that it required a complex work around, it wasn't as simple as swapping out a timer for remote activation. Biden apparently insisted which forced them to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new and modified plan.

                  Oh ok. I haven't read the report yet. Still it seems obvious (for all the reasons you and others listed up thread) why a plain timer would be a terrible idea from the get-go, complex work around or not.
