The man, last known to have lived in Poland, was one of the divers who allegedly planted explosive devices on pipelines running from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea in September 2022, German media has claimed.

      I think that absurd line held in mainstream media for what, maybe two or three months until it was untenable and they started pretending that some Ukrainians did it in a tiny boat

        they started pretending that some Ukrainians did it in a tiny boat

        Looks like that's going to be the official line if they're looking to arrest a single guy and maybe a handful of others

        It's absolutely absurd to believe that this was done by three people on a tiny fishing boat but that's what's going to enter the public record forever and anyone who disagrees is a tankie

      Yup.

      Russia blew up their own pipeline that was printing them money, so that they could lose lots of money AND anger the West more, instead of just turning it off. Or charging even more exorbitant prices. Or just not doing that.

      So many levels of idiocy, and yet that obvious lie worked

      It’s a short step to just say it was a Russian-sympathizing Ukrainian
