you are so clueless. it is your fart that is escaping from the pipe abi?

you lick boots to the point you don't believe what you see anymore.
You must know more than all the experts and all the countries who know why gas is sitting dormant in the pipe as reported by all the news agencies.

Problem with anarchists is they never defer to experts and mistrust everyone.

I know that but I assume gas is pumped from one end and the other end 'sucks' it if pressure is low Or leave it open .How would dormant gas be sitting there unless Germany shuts down the incoming, trapping gas already sent to them.

hint hint. Germans have been getting the gas. Its only PR that the supply is shut.
Ask Al Jazeera, I'm not a gas engineer

Who reallly stands to gain from sabotaging the pipelines?
Russia as I have spelled out in the post you quoted. None of the Western allies have anything to gain by commiting acts of war on each other. Russia's first response to the bombing was to let the world know that USA and UK pipelines are not safe. A wonderful way to put pressure on Europe by blowing your own non-functioning pipeline and then sowing doubt in Europes mind that they will freeze this winter if Norwegian pipelines are attacked if they don't back off from Ukraine. The bombing occured right next to the Norwegian pipeline which is menacing signalling

Why is gas leaking to the surface if its not been in use?
There is gas in both Nordstream 1 and 2 but it is not being pumped into Germany. It's dormant gas sitting in the Nordstream 1 pipeline as at the time flows were stopped. Flows were stopped on 2nd September. It would soon ease itself out.

For Nordstream 2, it is dormant test gas in the pipeline, though Nordstream 2 has never been online.

Not it. Was not. They Sabotage both pipelines. One was active, the other was not. Nordstream 1 and 2
Nordstream 1 has not been flowing for a month cos Russia stopped it

Biden and Nuland and Ted Cruz promise was only to stop Nordstream 2 and it was achieved.

benalvino3:
She had a presser saying if Russia invade Ukraine one WAY OR ANOTHER nordstream two will not move forward. This was not with Ted Cruz.
That was already achieved with sanctions and withdrawal of certification

benalvino3:
That's the same thing Biden was saying.
She was referring to many things. There is no sanction the US can put to stop gas from flowing. They can only ask Germany to not use the gas from nordstream. What they can do to directly affect the pipeline is to sabotage it.
If Nordstream 2 is not within USAs gift to stop, why was Ted Cruz pushing to have it written into law to stop it in the USA?

Of course you know that USA can sanction any company working with Nordstream 2 such as Siemens, Rolls Royce etc and take it off line forever. They can only lay pipes, they cannot pump gas without turbines, technology etc from. companies that fall under USA say so, that's why Merkel had to go begging Biden to lift the sanctions. Same way both John F Kennedy and Ronald Reagan sanctioned Nordstream 1.

USA can absolutely stop Nordstream 2 from a technical aspect by ensuring no company that works on it will ever eat again, while Germany can stop it's certification. Both have power to stop it using legal means.


benalvino3:
Russia cannot attack its own Money Cow and Germany cannot stop what keeps them warm. so who did it? If you asking me, I will first look at those saying they will take out the pipeline.
It is not a money cow for Russia in the short term as flows have been stopped for a month now. It can always be fixed in the medium term when Russia needs it to be. But the implied threat to Norwegian pipelines in the short term is pressing to Europe and pressing on Europes ability to warm itself this winter.

USA can never attack its allies infrastructure in International waters. It's an act of war and the surest way to break up the alliance against Russia. You must be new to Russian psychological game. This is just one of their escalation levers to put pressure on Europe and divide it. 10% of the dumb ones will believe it's USA, while 50% of the wise ones will know all Norwegian pipelines are under threat and want to deescalate so Europe is not at risk this winter. Both achieve Russia's aims.

benalvino3:
are you going to cap for the globalist idiots like sheep all your life?

it was bombed, it was sabotaged. and Biden and Nolan have earlier said they will take out that pipeline. it was not a natural leak because evidence has ruled that out and points to sabotage.
As usual, you blockhead have been to your far right sources to watch snippets out of context and have your dim-witted brains filled with propaganda. Of course Biden was referring to sanctions which he did. One day you argue Biden allowed Nordstream 2, next day you argue that Biden bombed Nordstream 2.

Nuland was responding to Ted Cruz who asked if she will support his bill to ban Nordstream 2 permanently. She did not want to commit to his bill which is foolish and takes away both executive privilege over Nordstream 2 and Germany's right of say over Nordstream 2, plus forever takes Nordstream 2 off the table as a negotiating chip with Russia. So she told him not to worry that Nordstream 2 will never come back while he kept pressing her to support permanent ban of Nordstream 2. Of course she was referring to sanctions and the Germans not tolerating Russian behaviour in Ukraine..

USA is not a rogue state that will attack infrastructure owned by its allies. You must be new to Russian psychological tricks. This is a message to Europe that none of their pipelines are safe and Norwegian pipeline is under threat, in keeping with their stated aim to freeze Europe this winter, and let them know all bets are off if they continue to support Ukraine

Don't be surprised to see Norway's pipeline blown up next. . . and my bet would be by the same people who blew up Nordstream as a pretext to attack the Norwegian supply since they can't supply anymore

Promises made promises kept. No gas flowing into Europe through Nordstream. Now blown up with no hope of quick repair. Remember Trump sanctioned the contractors of Nordstream 2 and actual construction stopped only for Joe Biden to rescind the sanctions and it was completed though I do not think it has been fully operational.
Germany cancelled certification of Nordstream 2 at the start of the war so that was the context of that statement which you are trying to twist to fit the bombing

Ibime. Go see your Grandparents . With 1000 GBP you get 500-800k ₦ , have a blast then go back and pick a better wage slave job after the holders dies of starvation and the cold.
UK prices capped at £2.5k per annum for a typical household usage by new Prime Minister. My usage is more than the typical household but I had already fixed mine at the start of the war at a rate lower than the Govt rate. Ontop that, Govt is giving everyone £400 off their bills from October which means I will pay less than £2k for the next 12 months, about the same as I paid last year. UK does not use Russian gas even before the war, we are only subject to the price of American LNG

Croatia must not win Nations league, I don’t want Modric to win it for my personal international trophy agenda.

Spain must not win, Busquet winning international trophy without Inesta and Xavi will be a big flex for his fans and there’ll be no agenda again to use against him.

Italy winning will have Jorginho fans disturb our peace here instead of focusing on the problems Nigeria is facing.

Holland wining means VVD will have International trophy, a big problem for some of us who uses his lack of international trophies to run small agenda.

This means, I’ll be served a big L one way or the other, but I prefer Holland winning, make me and Raumdeuter chop the VVD trolling and L against Airmark and Ibime, he’ll always find a way to turn amala out of it.
Nations league is friendlies. Worry about World Cup. I bet you can't remember who won the last Nations league.

Nordstream I and II were hit by explosions.
Nobody is accusing Joe Biden of being behind it but here he is

Pres. Biden: "If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

Reporter: "But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany's control?"

Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that."
Promise fulfilled with the sanctioning of Nordstream 2 which was brought to an end at the start of the invasion

We gave them the morning to celebrate Mikels retirement and we thank him for his great 2012 UCL performance, although we note that they were under bus parking conditions where no running is involved and conducive to a snail to sit in 18 yard box for 90 minutes without having to run.

But any attempt to extend the celebrations past 24 hours and start to misyarn, we would hit them with some home truths.

When fit, Mikel only failed to START just 7 games for Benitez in EPL.

Is this not a fact?
When fit Mikel sat on the bench in Club World Cup and Europa final without seeing a minute on the pitch and sat on the bench throughout the Europa semifinal

Europa league, he was available for 8 matches, started 3 dead rubber when we had won the first legs and benched for the rest

This is in a team with NO NATURAL DM, and the only DM was panicking about a centre-back taking his position.

MIKEL 2012/13 under Benitez in EPL

He missed 10 games due to suspension and injury.

Started 7 for Benitez, that’s 17 games out already, how many EPL games did he not start under Benitez? Just 7! grin grin cheesy

Benitez played 24 EPL games, Mikel was out for 10 games due to injury and suspension, that’s 14 games left, out of that 14, Mikel started half of them which is 7 and played as subs on some few.

How’s that “Glued on the bench under Benitez”?


https://www.transfermarkt.com/john-mikel-obi/leistungsdaten/spieler/30739/saison/2012/plus/1#gesamt

grin grin cheesy grin
7 of the easy games out of 14 in a midfield that had no DM and was playing David Luiz there? Benitez already signalled his intention by dropping him for Oriol Romeu from the off before that one got injured.

Starting as a DM for an attacking team is much different from being brought on last 10 minutes to park bus.

Mikel so turned Chelsea midfield into expressway and disgraced RDM out of a job, that Benitez had no option but to drop him for 20 year old youth player Oriol Romeu (who Pogba Mikel then paid marabout to afflict him with ACL injury). Mikel was so poor that Benitez then drafted a centre-back David Luiz to play the DM position. Mikel tried to jazz Luiz with injury but Luiz being a strong Christian was unaffected, so Mikel started crying. cheesy

Calendar agenda won’t fly here, if it must fly, then you’ll bring out manager wey dem dey use calendar year rate player he used.
I have set you challenge to tell me how many matches Mikel started for Benitez in EPL. You are so lazy,you are pulling appearance stats which could be one minute.

There are those who watch matches and have good memory and there are donstans. I can even tell you that Benitez almost immediately dropped Mikel for a young Oriol Romeo, and if not for an ACL suffered by Romeo, Mikel would have been sent to the Development squad cos even Ramires and David Luiz who are not DMs were higher in Benitez pecking order.

Mikel only started 7 league games for Benitez. Prove me wrong. Here's a sneak peak. Numbers on the right are minute he was subbed in. Other times he was benched or not selected in the squad entirely
