It’s been years since President Joe Biden allegedly ordered the bombing of the Nordstream 2 pipeline, and the dust has long since settled. We can now answer whether the White House’s reckless gamble to harm Moscow was successful. The answer is clear: It failed. So did the White House really commit this massive economic, political and climate crime? Well-known investigative reporter Seymour Hersh concluded long ago, with a lot of insider interest, that this was the case. Much more recently, on September 26, we received an almost smoking gun; So, four or five days before the explosion, we received confirmed reports of the surreptitious presence of US Navy warships near the scene with their transponders suspiciously OFF. These warships operated in Denmark’s exclusive economic zone. The captain of a small Danish port found out, but the authorities silenced him for years. Only recently was he able to speak to Danish journalists.

So who did the explosion hurt? Not Russia. Moscow has diverted its cheap natural gas to the east and is making money there, hand it over. Same goes for sanctioned oil: Moscow sells it to India, which raises the price and sells it to Europe. Russia has now surpassed Japan to become the world’s fourth largest economy by purchasing power parity and has remained relatively unscathed by weak Western sanctions. Who did the explosion really hurt? It is not the United States that, because of this convenient disaster, has the opportunity to sell its prohibitively expensive and thus previously uncompetitive liquefied natural gas to Europe. But Europe? Ah, that’s another topic. And especially Germany. Recall that Biden threatened to destroy Nordstream 2 on television. Her valet, Victoria Nuland, was equally outraged. These Mafia-like threats turned out to be bearing fruit, leading to the rapid deindustrialization of Europe’s economic powerhouse, Deutschland.

Germany boasted 10,702 corporate bankruptcies in the first quarter of 2024; it was rather an indictment of Russophobic foreign and economic policy. After all, if Berlin had allowed the use of the only remaining and operating Nordstream pipeline, cheap Russian gas would have prevented many of these businesses from going bankrupt. But prime minister Olaf “Liver Brain” Scholz cut off his country’s nose to spite its face: Cheap energy is not coming from Moscow, even for flagship German car company Volkswagen, which is currently considering up to 30,000 layoffs while closing several factories in Germany. The company also ended long-standing occupational safety agreements with the country’s unions. So what caused this production fiasco? Sudden withdrawal from cheap Russian energy. And various other imbecile sanctions. Europe decided to commit economic suicide under the leadership of the Germanic nation.

As RT reported on October 14, Germany’s economy is steadily shrinking: 2024 growth will likely be minus 0.2 percent, which is “Germany’s new, miserable normal.” This is not an interruption or an aberration, but things will continue like this for a long time. As RT observes, the halcyon pre-Russia sanctions days of the mid-2000s are now gone, with cumulative growth of 24 percent. Things are no better elsewhere in the European Union. There will be 57,000 to 62,000 corporate bankruptcies in France in 2024. While it is estimated that there will be a 22 percent increase in such bankruptcies this year in Italy, thousands of businesses have closed in Spain. Meanwhile, thousands of British companies have collapsed in 2024, with authorities estimating insolvencies at 147 per cent on pre-pandemic levels.

This is not a rosy picture of a developing region. Especially when these dire bankruptcy statistics are combined with the long-term declining birth rate, it smells like a funeral parlor. Europe was vitally dependent on cheap Russian energy. In reality, Moscow subsidized European industry and protected it from American economic attacks; who knew? Frankly speaking, not the Europeans who, in their humiliated arrogance, accepted this sweet deal at face value. They now refuse to do so because of their so-called principles (what principles? Should they be allowed to extend a bloody military alliance to Russia’s doorstep without the slightest objection from the Kremlin? Or aiding the Ukrainian-fascists). massacre of ethnic Russians in Donbass?), they see their companies closing stores and many relocating, to where? Dum, da, dum, dum: A deliberate insult to the United States, thanks to the American Inflation Reduction Act, to its so-called allies in Europe, designed to steal their jobs. Washington’s vassalization project for Europe is complete, and in a sign of Germany’s abject capitulation, Germany’s president recently awarded a medal to Joe “Nordstream Bomber” Biden. So is this the height of masochism or what?

Meanwhile, in other depressing news from the EU, Moldova’s last referendum on October 20 was manipulated so that it could join the gang of suicidal masochists: the EU. The election was an embarrassment for democracy; According to political scientist and Eastern European expert Ivan Katchanovski on Twitter on October 21, many pro-Russian citizens in Transnistria were unable to vote; Only two voting centers have been opened in Moscow for the 400,000 Moldovan citizens living in Russia. This meant that perhaps 10,000 of the 400,000 Moldovans in Russia were able to vote. This was a decision of the pro-EU Moldovan government, which, by the way, could only win over 50 percent of Moldovans living in the country for its EU membership bid… Wow, this is for Moldova, most likely the next Ukraine, for itself – to trouble-making groups like NATO and the current to sacrifice the false openness of the West on the altar of whatever foolish fashion he indulges in.

One incident related to the presidential election that Peacemaket tweeted on October 21 was particularly egregious. “A Moldovan citizen came to Moldova, went to vote in the country’s presidential election and found that Britain had already voted for him. The incident occurred in the town of Tvarditsa in the Taraclia region of the republic with a man named Alexander Nikolaevich. “This is called election fraud.”

From this you can conclude that the presidential vote is not exactly on the rise as it was in the EU referendum. But hey, US officials helped real Nazis overthrow the Kiev government in 2014, so they’re no longer experienced when it comes to this kind of funny business in this corner of Europe. I don’t know if America has a hand in these questionable Moldovan elections, but the USA’s preferences are no secret. And these choices, of course, bring with them ideologically doctrinal anti-Russian blinders. Dissent is not allowed. As we saw in Georgia, where the landslide vote in late October continued, Georgia could lead a Western-backed coup against the legally elected government rather than join the EU’s kamikaze mission to open a second front against Russia.

In Berlin, it can generally be said that America’s behavior towards its EU ally is very brutal. Calling for the destruction of an ally’s critical infrastructure (Nordstream), then actually bombing it, then cowardly lying about it and expecting their victims to swallow those lies, literally smearing their faces in this fraud – what are the words for such behavior? Treacherous, evil, arrogant, violent, incompetent, stupid? You choose. But no matter how many times you choose, don’t forget the stupidity. Because Washington needs a healthy European ally. If thought can be attributed to actions, Joe Biden may not have thought so, but without a healthy Europe, who is left in the hands of the United States? Canada, Japan, South Korea, Israel and Australia. That’s it. Compare this to the number of countries in the BRICS or striving to join the BRICS. And make no mistake, Washington caused the decline in Europe. This happened after he embarked on the disastrous Ukraine proxy adventure that left the West’s defense cabinets all but bare.

When photos of the at-sea effects of the Nordstream explosion first emerged, Polish foreign minister Radek Sikorski tweeted: “Thank you America.” Thank you for nothing like it. He should have said, “Thank you for robbing us.” And when the history of this shameful and disgusting episode begins to be written, it will be made clear that this was Washington’s first shot to the head of his closest ally, and ultimately himself.
