Well worth a watch. If true, then the Biden & EU regimes are completely out of control.

Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 are the logical analogue to the Kiel Canal widening in the period 1907-1914; which would have allowed free trade between Germany (Central Europe) and Russia. That was not in the interest of the Anglo-American banking alliance hence WWI. This was repeated again in WWII when Adolf flipped off the Anglo-American banking alliance by attacking/cutting up Poland and attacking France. Cheap energy is what drove the Wehrmacht to attempt the drive to the Baku oilfields, but instead got sucked into Stalingrad.
Fast foward to today, Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 were not in the interest of the Anglo-American banking alliance as this would have allowed the economic drift of Germany into the orbit of Russian oil/gas dependence. Again, as soon as Nordstream 2 was completed the war in Ukraine was on…history sure has some interesting echos…and some folks in government are eternally stuck on stupid.
Witness the most recent agreement of Germany seeking an Anglo-American banking alliance approved partner in the United Arab Emirates to provide natural gas supplies for the German economy… ha, ha, ha,…. 🙂
“As part of the alliance, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has entered into an agreement with RWE, whereby it will supply an liquified natural gas (LNG) cargo towards the end of the year. This will be used in the commissioning of Germany’s floating LNG import terminal at BrunsbĂĽttel. ADNOC has reserved a number of LNG cargos for German customers in 2023, official news agency WAM reported.”
“Count de Monet” was just a man far ahead of his time! 🙂

Interesting view on history. One that doesn’t get the airing that it should.
I never saw any clear explanation of why the assassination of one relatively unknown Arch Duke kicked off WWI, I always assumed that it was really a pretext for other reasons. This is as good a one as any.
Not so sure about Poland. I never really understood why Chamberlin started issuing ultimatums about that. Poland was hardly a strategic issue for the UK, and the UK was no-longer in a position to play world-policeman, and even if he mistakenly thought they were, Europe had never been an area in which they played that role anyway. That whole thing was odd.
The history books explanation of why Germany suddenly decided to attack Russia are all weak. All pretty much boil down to something along the lines of “Hitler was mad” … well, maybe, but the idea that he was looking for an alternate source of oil since the middle east war was not going well makes a huge amount of sense — still doesn’t really explain the side-track of Stalingrad. There is something else there, but we may never know what.
@ Philip Mad or not, there was some very strategic thinking that went on during the period of WWII and the evidence is pretty convincing…
For further readings, you can look up Armaments Minister Albert Speers intervention, on behalf of Field Marshall Erich von Manstein, to Hitler, to pull back to Rostov on the Don, to stabilize the front lines rather than being encircled. It was Speers suggestion that there were some resources they could do without…that Hitler relented to Manstein.
‘On November 28, Manstein sent a long teletype message to Hitler in which he described his appreciation of the situation and his intentions in some detail. Manstein knew that the best he could hope for was to reach Sixth Army and help it to withdraw from Stalingrad and to regain firm contact with Army Group A as it withdrew from the Caucasus, and he said so. Two days later Hitler called Manstein in the middle of the night.
“I cannot agree to your proposals, Field Marshal,” Hitler began. “Sixth Army is dug in on my orders and will defend this stronghold! … I want different proposals from you, Field Marshal.”
“Mein Führer, put Army Group A under my command and give me operational freedom for both Army Groups!” Manstein shot back.
“That is not possible, Field Marshal!”
“Mein Führer, please tell me what Army Group A is supposed to be doing in the Caucasus?”
“It’s a question of the possession of Baku, Field Marshal. Unless we get the Baku oil, the war is lost,” Hitler intoned. “If I can no longer get you the oil for your operations, Field Marshal, you will be unable to do anything!” Tanks, aircraft, trucks, everything depended on oil, he continued, in the manner of a lecture.
“Mein FĂĽhrer,” Manstein interrupted. “Put the whole of Army Group A under me and give me operational freedom, and I will give you a decisive battle in South Russia … after which you can get your oil wherever you like.”’
And as it turned out “no schlitz” (oil/gas) in Baku, regardless of the Romanian Ploesti oilfields, came at the cost of some 25 million Russians alone.
And now some 80 odd years later, while the players have changed, here we are once again! 🙂

I never bought into the “mad Hitler” theory. You don’t re-build a country after WWI devastation and work around the armistice conventions to re-build the armed forces to the point where they are ready (and able) to take on the world in the time they took if you are mad.
He did, quite definitely, have a thing about “the jews”, deservedly or not is a long and complicated question. I think he just saw them as embodying the Atlantic banking system that you mention.
What you are describing re Stalingrad seems to me to be the age old problem of politicians overriding on the ground professional military advice because it doesn’t match their wishes/expectations. Also, at this stage I think he was probably not certifiably mad, but probably losing trust and getting more and more paranoid.
But the core idea was right – they needed (and really still do) the oil fields to the East.
The more things change ….
Hans, thank you for this historical context. Very interesting!
Guy makes a very reasoned argument, for sure.
Any info on possible repair times?
It took Enbridge 3 weeks to repair the large Prince George pipeline explosion, admittedly above ground though.
I’ve heard estimates of years. While that’s probably overblown, I’m not sure why Russia would want to repair it if they believe that the Collective West (watch the video to understand precisely what that means) does NOT want them supplying any energy to the freezing German citizens this winter … or ever.
Robert, good question. Why would Russia want to repair the pipeline?
I ask myself the same question. I’m not sure European leaders want to be so dependent on Russian energy, now that they know Russia can, and will, shut off the energy to achieve political and military goals.
In fact, Russia may view the pipelines as expendable to its aims, since they may never transport gas again Would a country (or its leaders) destroy assets to achieve other aims? Most certainly. Look at Biden, Trudeau, et al, cancelling partially built pipelines, shutting down coal plants, nuclear plants, etc, etc.
I did warn of an event to occur within the last week of September. I’m wondering now if this was it.
Do not underestimate this event. It could be the catalyst for the end game.
Well, we know one thing: It’s not the CCP because they haven’t woken up their paid Davos bots in the middle of the night like Colon The Poseur (and his sock puppet) Allen S(hitforbrains) to parrot talking points and share links from CNN, WaPo, NYT, BBC and the like.
“An act of RAGE” … with no thought of the aftermath.
Which is exactly why I say that one of the PRIMARY motivating factors for Putin/Russia HATE … is LGBTQqEI2s+ RAGE. Rage against Putin’s support of TWO sexes and the traditional, nuclear (sorry) family. The Bidinh Admin. is filled … top to bottom (sorry) with alphabet soup activists. They actually believe if they can just get rid of Putin, then they will have WON multinational alphabet depravity. And these types, living in The Castro don’t own cars or large suburban homes … so they’re TRUE BELIEVERS in Global Warming as well. Rage. Yes … this feels like pure rage and retribution for wrong-think. Anger against the last holdout of straight government. Irrational, emotional, RAGE.
Now … what will The Deep Depraved State blow-up in Italy??
Those people should fly to the middle east and look around, preferably not on the top of a high building.
You would deny them flying lessons?
“If true, then the Biden & EU regimes are completely out of control.”
That’s true without this event. Abject lunacy and judicial corruption abound in both spheres. The globalist leadership is being driven into a kind of madness as they watch one revolt after another, Italy most recently, and hopefully another massive one in the US in November. That said, I doubt Germany got a say in this, nor the E.U. (remember Victoria Nuland’s famous “f the EU” comment). As for the likely culprit, the US, “out of control” as evidenced by this action hardly is a strong enough statement.
That theory certainly has credibility when you consider the extent to which the Greens, who now infest all levels of western governments, are willing to go to deindustrialize Germany as the leader in “sustainable” green energy. I was struggling to eat my cereal this morning while John Kerry was on CNN Bloomberg spewing praise for Germany’s setting the example that the rest us must follow along with all the other hysterical propaganda and lies. He was also decrying the climate destroying methane from the pipeline disaster. He’s likely involved in the whole rotten game.
All this from Kerry, with his multiple houses, private jets, and multiple cars. He knows the economic hardships of going gang green will not affect him personally.
A lot of people are blaming the US for blowing the pipeline. I frankly don’t think the Biden administration would have the balls to try, even if it furthered their War on the American people.
If this is an act of war against Russian natural gas, I would hate to be on a future LNG tanker with a Russian torpedo sub close by……
Cui bono? I can see no scenario in which it is Russia or Putin.
The guy in the link giving his take on this is totally unwatchable. He talks so fricking slow that you’re constantly waiting and waiting for him to even finish a sentence and make a point. Somebody here linked to him before. Same. This one took him more than a half hour to say something that could have taken 10 minutes. This guy needs to up his game, big time. Or at least provide a readable transcript.
Agreed. He just spews words. I watched about 10 minutes before giving up. What he said in those 10 mins could have been clearly stated in about 90 seconds.
