Nord Stream 2: The Real Reason for Russia's "Special Military Operations In Ukraine". Is WW3 Next?

Kim Iversen presents an excellent breakdown of the nature of this conflict. Below are the main points.

* This is about resources, it is about energy.

*There is Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

*Nord Stream 1 pipeline flows through Ukraine, supplying the rest of Europe while Nord Stream 2 goes
around Ukraine, through the baltic sea to Germany and then to the rest of Europe.

*Russia provides 40% of Europe energy with Nord Stream 1, with Nord Stream 2, it will be 80%.

*This present a giant security threat to the US, since it will make Europe more dependent on Russia than US. US needs an obedient Europe.

*The Obama administration had opposed the building of the pipeline, Trump administration also opposed it and even sanction it. But it did not stop its progress. Biden's administration is also in opposition to it.

*Nord Stream 2 pipeline was completed in September, 2021. During Obama administration, it was just an idea, during Trump's administration, the pipeline was being built and he slapped sanctions on it but work continued and it was completed during Biden's administration in September, 2021.

*While the pipeline has been completed, it has not been certified or turned on.

*So the US is in a last ditch effort to try to stop this pipeline from coming online as it will supply 80% of energy in Europe.

*If Europe depends that much in Russia, they will stay neutral when US engages in aggression against Russian interest.

*The Trump administration already had sanction Nord Stream 2 pipeline during its construction. Biden lifted the sanction since it was already completed, there was no to anymore as it was already completed. But He had pack with Germany that they can turn on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline but in any event of Russia aggression, they will have to cut off the pipeline. Germany agreed. But this was a set up.

*Now US continue to push Ukraine into NATO, ruffles feather with Russia, supplies weapons, train personels etc. They did everything to push Russia into aggression.

*The White House escalated these, baited Russia into conflict with Ukraine and boom, Germany has announce to halt the certification of Nord Stream 2. They are also talks of cutting off Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

*Now Russia is backed into a corner and has no choice than to take Ukraine.

*The reason is that the other way Europe will get natural gas is through Ukraine. They will turn off Nord Stream 1 and they can rely on the old pipeline going through Ukraine. It will not be as efficient, will be more expensive but it can be done. But this cannot happen if Russia controls Ukraine.

*This thus put Europe in a situation where Russia controls all the natural gas it will absolutely need or Europe will have to fight Russia for it and this could start World War 3.

Putin is not smart. He could have sanctioned Ukraine econpmically or present juicy offer to Ukraine. The fact is putin doesn’t want a democratic nation in his border.

Your "smartness" is conspicuous for us to see.
Your opaque mind can't get on the internet and search for the truth behind the conflict ongoing in Europe. Instead of you and your misinformed cohorts on the platform to broaden your horizon on why Russia has sent a small delegation of Special Military Operators to Ukraine, you are here basking in the euphoria amidst blissful ignorance and displaying same for us to see.
Why will the People of this country be respected in the comity of nations when what is on display on this platform is gross and crass ignorance of the political schemes-of-things playing out before our very eyes.
Carry out your Research beyond the pages of Western medias, maybe you and those still "keyboard-warrioring" might get enlightened to understand better and fairly exercise unbiased judgement.
Gracias.

Putin aide. I hope you are enjoying correct information from eastern media. Special military exercise with use of fighter jets, ballistic missiles, attack helicopter etc. So real military operation should be use of nuclear bomb, right? It is only an insane and wicked person that would justify invasion of Russia.

We only justify the invasion of Libya, Syria, Iraq by the US and the Invasion of Palestine by Israel. All the moves made in this war by the west is going to be a very serious eye opener to everyone. You see what FIFA, IOC has been turn to, many years in the future, it will turn back to bite them.

No, it is not ND2 per se. That was just a deal between Russia and Germany which the U.S and many Nazi governments installed in Europe love to make a mouth about. They will sanction it, this and that.

They just served in Russia's court.

It's more about the threat to the National security of Russia. Remember before it all started, Russia asked the puppet master for security guarantees.
Ukraine will not Join NATO. Which is the reason for all the conflict from the onset. The main reason Russia has been supporting the shared interest of Donbas and Crimeans since the coup in 2014.

Russia openly asks the WEST for these guarantees but as usual, they always double down, and here we are.

How much is ND2. Russia is already supplying Germany over 17BCm3. ND2 is just to increase that by 15%.

How could normal person justify military invasion? War has far-reaching effects.
