In September 26, 2022, seven months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, saboteurs destroyed the Nordstream pipeline which was a major conduit of natural gas to Germany and western Europe.
At the time, NATO personnel, the US regime, and the Ukraine regime all denied involvement, and all even implied that the Russians themselves had somehow been involved. The US media dutifully repeated Washington’s party line, repeatedly hinting that Putin had ordered the destruction of the pipeline for some never-explained reason.
This paragraph from Vox is representative of the common narrative at the time:
[U]nofficially, many in Europe are accusing Russia of the sabotage, given the EU believes the Kremlin has a track record of trying to weaponize energy. Moscow likely has the capability and equipment to carry out such an operation, and an incentive to keep putting pressure on Europe as Vladimir Putin escalates his war effort.
Several German politicians publicly accused Moscow, and perennial warmonger and former CIA director John Brennan said Russia was the most-likely suspect.
Those who inhabit the real world, however, knew that there was no reason at all for the Russians to sabotage the pipeline and that the real most-likely suspects have always been the Americans, the Ukrainians, and perhaps the Poles.
Nearly two years later, only the most crazed Russophobes think—or at least claim to think—that Moscow bombed the pipeline.
As early as Summer 2023, reports began to surface that Ukrainian agents based in Poland had carried out the attack on the pipeline. The primary question was how much the US was involved, and whether or not Ukraine’s head of state, Volodymyr Zelensky, knew about it.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal—a publication that’s hardly pro-Moscow or anti-NATO—reported that both the CIA and Zelensky knew about a plot organized by Zelensky’s commander in chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy. Indeed, according to the Journal, Zelensky “initially approved the plan.”
In other words, the CIA and the Ukrainian regime have been lying all along. They knew exactly who destroyed the pipeline but continued to fuel speculation that the Russians did it. The Poles also knew.
Some aspects of the Journal‘s report remain quite suspect, however. The claim that the CIA is innocent of any involvement is rather unbelievable, especially given the implausibility of the claims that mission was pulled off by half a dozen men on a rented sailboat. The whole story feels like Washington knew it wasn’t going to be able to claim Ukrainian innocence much longer. So, the US regime has helped craft a convenient story in which the CIA tried to prevent it.
Chay Bowes get to the heart of the matter:
Anyone that believes the client media peddled fantasy that 3 drunk Ukrainians, in a small sail boat, with no engineering or deep sea capabilities blew up a Deepsea pipeline, in one of the most surveilled areas of water in the world,

More on the true likely extent of the CIA’s involvement can be found here. The entire top echelon of the Ukraine military is CIA territory.
Of course, if the Journal‘s story is all true, or if the CIA was involved, it all makes the Germans looks very ridiculous indeed. The fact that the Ukrainians were involved at every level means the German regime has been falling all over itself to fund and protect a regime that deliberately attacked Germany. The cost of energy has skyrocketed in Germany for average people, and the energy-hungry manufacturing sector of the German economy has “been showing a worrying downward trend for years.” German workers and consumers have been impoverished Berlin funds Ukraine’s war with a country that poses no risk to Germany at all.
We might also note that an attack by Ukraine on German infrastructure is a matter of a non-NATO country attacking a NATO country. Yet NATO has not invoked Article 5 calling for war against Ukraine. Instead, we’re told that NATO member must fight Russia, a country that has attacked zero NATO countries.
Meanwhile, in the United States, after years of lying about the pipeline to the taxpayers, the US regime shamelessly demands the American taxpayer continues to be fleeced so the Congress can send more than a hundred billion dollars to the oligarchs of Ukraine.
