Nordstream bombings: Covert operation based off USS Kearsarge

Don't know if they are going to let the article stand for too long, so grab the images now.

Mysterious ship

Today Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet posted an article done with the DTU about them having been able to capture false color radar imagery of one of the "secret ships" that were near Nordstream in the days surrounding the explosion.
Not just any ship...
According to the posted image in the article that was provided by the DTU, we are talking about a huge ship with a rough length of 250m.

The USS Kearsarge docked in Poland around the 19th of september and is currently located nordwest of Bornholm.
The USS Kearsarge is 257m in length. What a co-incidence.

So...

Either they are telling us, they completely failed to detect and act upon a 250m long warship, only 70km from the coast of Bornholm, during a massive crisis.
Where we normally fall over on our ass if a Russian warplane touches our airspace and the media blows up about it.
Or we can pretty much safely deduce that, just as Joe Biden promised in febuary 2022, the Americans were behind the destruction of the Nordstream 2 pipeline.

Through energy, you not only control your enemy, you also control your "friends".

I think Joe Biden just demonstrated that the EU are not friends of his.

Why would the US use a detectable warship and not a sub?

a reply to: flice

If you go back to the Wired article, SpaceKnow identified the two ships as between 95 and 130 meters long. Kearsarge, and the other LHDs are 257 meters long. That actually rules out Kearsarge. Not to mention that the US has multiple ways to do it that satellites wouldn't detect that make far more sense than parking a warship right on top of the pipelines just before they blew up.

Cough,cough,Liz Truss -"it's done" cough,cough.

Read the article again..... there is a third ship. Now look at the false color, see the size reference.

Seal job... would be harder to explain the presence of a sub than a surface warship. Subs are not undetectable, if thats what you think, and warships can turn off transponders.

a reply to: flice

Subs are definitely less detectable and can still deploy seals underwater.

Even if a warship turns off their transponder, there’s a good chance even India can track its movements via sat.

Subs can usually only be detected by other subs. There are very few countries who have a good footprint worldwide in that department. We have subs doing rounds all the time, I don’t think anyone would raise an eyebrow hearing a US sub was spotted in the area given the geopolitical environment.

Plus, the sub could have planted the load a month before the blast and just waited to detonate. Why have a satellite detected ship within days. That would just be sloppy.

a reply to: flice

Even if "in the neighborhood of 200 meters" was actually 250+ meters, there are still far better ways to do it. A sub doesn't have to get on top of the pipelines. They can deploy Seals from 17 miles away using a Mk 8 SDV, or use the SDV as a remote vehicle from 40 miles. The Remus 600 UUV, which started production in 2013, has an endurance of 70 hours at its cruising speed of 3 knots. That means it could be launched from roughly 120 miles away on a round trip mission. Or closer to 240 miles if it continued on past the pipelines, and was recovered by another ship.

The US, and other governments, aren't that stupid. They aren't going to park a warship, even with AIS off, directly over the top of something they're going to blow up.

No, surely not! lol.

The US doesn't have "friends". It has a collection of vassal states. They are quite obviously waging an economic war on Germany (at the very least), but Germany doesn't seem to care. It's all very strange.

New info coming out that Americans attacked the pipeline.

Duh.

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.

Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.

Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”

Biden’s decision to sabotage the pipelines came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington’s national security community about how to best achieve that goal. For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible.

I'd get that cough checked out, if I were you.

Meanwhile, check this out if you still believe the Truss stuff:

Ah yes the other clown as Boris Johnson, Liz Truss.


I am sure she has the same credibility as GW Bush and Boris Johnson.

a reply to: vNex92

Less, actually, but so what?

The Kremlin has even less credibility, by the way.

And she is not the source of the Twitter link that I posted.

A British Cloaked Ship?

I still stand by the USS Kearsarge theory...

Today new info came to be released. Danish media Ekstra Bladet, obtained footage from a recent inspection of the blown pipeline and had 3 munitions experts look at it.

They all concur that what they are seeing could only have come from profesionally made shape charges, and only a few pounds of explosives, not the 10s of kilos that was previously reported.

Video included in the link...

Ekstra Bladet - New footage from pipeline

a reply to: flice

All that proves is that someone had military grade shaped charges. They can't prove who placed them. And again, parking the ship that is going to blow something up underneath it on top of the target isn't even an amateur thing to do. It's something that a person with no knowledge of tactics or strategy does.

a reply to: Zaphod58

And that is why there are questions. Back in the Ivory Coast debacle, Executive Decisions covered up the fact that they were providing forces for both side of the conflict, but they still had military strategists working out the issue of being exposed.

If the bombing was done by the ship that floated out in full view, then who would have done something that stupid? The only group that comes to mind is a poorly organized but highly resourced private military group.

Zaphod, what are your theories on this?

a reply to: Guyfriday

I'm betting it was either a small team off a private vessel, or someone was paid off and was able to rig an inspection device that went into the pipeline and blew it from the inside.
