You need to be specific, specifically where this author lied. Let me be clear:

I love the Russian People as much as I love the Ukrainian People.

I love the Russian People as much I love the Hungarian People - my story:

The tanks are Russian. The elderly man, as well as his young self, represents me.

We wanted freedom, we are not Russians.

The Ukrainians are not Russians. Ukraine is not Russia.

Your soldiers are not heroes, like the ones you see celebrating on the burning tanks.

Young men and women mostly unarmed, against your tanks and Migs.

Your soldiers did to my city what you see in the videos, and too, in Ukraine.

We, my people, did nothing to your people, but even today welcome yours with open arms.

Your soldiers in Ukraine are attacking civilians and the infrastructure of another nation. Depriving civilians of food, medicine, energy and heat. And shooting unarmed people.

They are YOUR heroes?

What the author misses is that WE were engaged in an underwater mine laying/clearing exercise in June.

RIGHT WHERE THE EXPLOSIONS HAPPENED

"BALTIC SEA — A significant focus of BALTOPS every year is the demonstration of NATO mine hunting capabilities, and this year the U.S. Navy continues to use the exercise as an opportunity to test emerging technology, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Public Affairs said June 14.

In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.

Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68. "

What this fails to take into account is that the pipes were damaged by explosions as reported by the Swedish govt. Explosions over 150ft under water is not kids playing a prank in the neighborhood, it’s an elaborate demolition very few advanced military groups could carry out.

This article also fails to account for the fact that the NS-1 could be turned back on with a switch-if the sanctions were lifted- immediately supplying natural gas to Europe to heat homes and supply energy during the impending winter. German citizens were beginning to pressure their govt to negotiate to get that gas flowing in NS-1 but the US and UK have been applying strong pressure to stop that. This explosion served to stop that possibility. This article was very one sided and not balanced

With winter just a few months away and a large part of Germany's population looking at the possibility of no heat, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that the German government will be under a lot of pressure to do business with Putin, putting Biden's coalition sanctioning Russian energy in jeopardy.

By blowing up the pipeline the door is slammed on any chance the Germans will be able to access Russian energy this winter, preserving Biden's pressure on the Russians.

As far as destabilizing NATO, Putin doing business with Europe is a bigger threat than shutting off their supply of natural gas. Blowing up Nordstream makes so much sense for American foreign policy it's almost impossible to believe that Biden's clown show thought to do it.

Now, if Joe can just control the international blowback... Mr. Benjamin is sure doing his part.

Andrew G, Benjamin, you consider yourself "journalist"?

You're a disgusting lier.

Lie can't produce any goodness for humanity, and you too.

Truth doesn't need to defend it.

Today is 19.02.23, look back at your article: your production of lies, deceitful manipularion,

twisting facts, words, dates, and pure propaganda of evil.

Liers like you, are guilty of murder of innocent people in this prolonged war against the truth.

I don't feel sorry for you, because with your lies, you're preparing "nice" place in Hell for yourself.
