Nordstream howdunnit
There’s increasing speculation that the sabotage of Nordstreams 1 and 2 was the work of the US.
Veteran Left pundit and orator George Galloway connects the incident with an American warship in the Baltic, the USS Kearsarge:
Alternatively, JH Kunstler cites the claim of ‘Monkey Werx’ a blogger who tracks military flights, that the blows were delivered by torpedoes from a US submarine-hunting jet that flew from the US, refuelled mid-air over Poland and returned, never having touched down so there would be less incriminating evidence:
Now let’s look at the flight specifics. Note the last flight path just before exiting the area runs right along the pipeline in which they could have released the ordinance and continued their climb out, thus exiting the area and returning to the United States. Also, note the little hump just before the climb out (red arrow). That is consistent with a weapons release. Pitch down, increased AoA, weapon release, little bubble up, then a climb out (the blue line is the inbound leg of the same flight). You may also note the flight path. It circles over the area first, then flies downrange and starts the initial bomb run, then it does a quick readjustment on a final bomb run, releases, and exits immediately.
As to why, that’s another story - coming up.
ADDENDUM: A correspondent noted the date on the screen shot; I have followed up with a query to ‘Monkey Werx’:
Your Nordstream post most interesting and I have linked to it from my Substack column BUT your flight-tracking screengrab is dated Sep 29 whereas the incident occurred Sep 26. Please explain !
