六人小组炸“北溪”,美媒编的故事可能吗......
导读
The first thing we need to know is the pipeline is owned and operated by Nord Stream AG, and its majority shareholder is the Russian state-owned company Gazprom. So if it was them, they would have destroyed something they'd spent billions on building.
What about Ukraine? They seem having a logical potential motive for carrying out the attack. They have rejected the project for years, calling it a national security threat.
由此可见,乌克兰似乎具备一定嫌疑。
The US has historically seen the Nord Stream pipeline as an extension of Russian influence over Europe through Germany.
"For the long run, you simply want to change the structure of energy dependence. You want to depend more on the North American energy platform."
“长远地看,我们想要改变能源依赖结构,让他们更多地依赖北美的能源公司。”
"And I want to be clear with you today, if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward."
“今天我可以明确告诉你们,如果俄罗斯入侵乌克兰,无论以何种方式,我们都会让北溪2号完蛋。”
February 7, 2022, shortly before the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Biden told reporters that there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2.
September 30, 2022, The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the sabotage "This is also a tremendous opportunity."
The total US export value for mineral fuels to Europe in 2021 was almost 42 billion USD. That's the number before explosions. The number more than doubled to over $100 billion in 2022.
这是因为欧洲无法再从俄罗斯购买便宜的天然气,因此不得不转向美国购买。这对美国来说是笔大生意。
疑窦丛生的“手段”
According to unverified accounts parroted by numerous Western media outlets, here we have five men and one woman, a captain, two divers, two diving assistants and a doctor.
The small group rented a yacht from a Ukrainian company registered in Poland and used forged passports. They set sail from the north German port of Rostock on September 6, 2022. And they planted almost half a ton of ''military grade'' explosives 80 meters under sea.
The pipes are huge and strong. They are also covered with three inches of concrete under around 80 meters under sea. And the sabotage occurred an area controlled by Denmark.
Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that three months later.
More details are here. On September 26, 2022, a Norwegian Navy P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and dropped a sonar buoy. A few hours later, high-powered C4 explosives were triggered and 3 of the 4 pipelines were put out of commission.
Two weeks after Hersh's story, The New York Times had only mentioned his name in one opinion article, denouncing his credibility. But over 380 pieces on how a pro-Ukrainian group blew up the pipelines popped up in just one day March 9.
如果一个失控的中国“气球”能威胁到美国国家安全,那么不难想象,他们为了放出烟幕弹,完全可以捏造出一个所谓的“亲乌团体”。
"We stood with Ukrainian people tonight. Our support for Ukraine will not waive. NATO will not be divided, and we will not tire."
“我们誓与乌克兰人民共进退。我们对乌克兰的支持绝不动摇。北约不会分裂,我们不会厌倦.”
