Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

[PlacidCasual]

It's hard to understand why Russia would blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, surely the Ukraine pipeline would have been a better choice as it easier to fix and is currently providing gas to their enemy. Also if it "broke" the EU would probably be forced to swallow their pride and use Nord Stream1 and 2.

Norway probably benefits more than Russia and Ukraine benefits because they couldn't be bypassed for EU gas deliveries once Nord Stream is gone.

But to be clear I am not accusing Norway or Ukraine, I know how people can infer so much from so little.

Except by the Rus/Bulgaria/Greece pipeline.

I assumed there will be an absolute capacity constraint without Nord Stream, but I'll defer anyone who knows better.

Donald sees a way to get the peepee tape back.

If he can negotiate a full transfer of the illegally invaded lands to Russia, Pukin may give him the tape finally.

Melania could be Putins best FSB agent

Saw on Reddit via Twitter that all of the Iranian drones are useless as Ukraine now know how to stop them using jamming technology.

U.S. Warship Took Down Iranian Drone Using New 'Jamming' Technology

Anti-drone technology was allegedly used by the U.S.’s USS Boxer to bring down an Iranian drone last week. This latest incident shows the rapidly evolving state of warfare as tensions escalate between the two nations.

Surely, yes. But still Ukraine can not fully block.

No no. She is in contract with the FBI. We all know who called the up for the raid in magalago.

The way they started making them is that they managed to get their hands on one of the old US drones and then copied it.

Oh wow, didn't know about this. Thanks for sharing.

Not much point in copying something when the original user is involved as countering one's own devices is a streamlined process. Partly why I think China has an exaggerated force.

The only gas coming into EU is the Azerbaijan-turkey-greece-bulgaria pipe

Nor did I. I often watch this guy - Yurij Shvets. He is an ex KGB agent and knows quite a lot of its inns and outs. Obviously he lives in US and is Ukrainian himself. A wise guy imho.

I have no idea on the two UKR pipelines, but the southern EU one should be working. Nobody closed it or blew it up yet, afaik.

It just goes to show the fragility of excessive population levels needing energy sources from other countries via an undersea pipeline. And how easily such a supply can be politicised or destroyed.

In the latter case modern technology can't even pinpoint the perpetrators with the region under the closest scrutiny modern technology allows.

We may have bigger problems, ones that directly affect us.

The Russians have said that our internet can easily be cut under sea so all those cables suppling us could be threatened.

it is working but it wasnt designed to replace the nordstream or those who cross Ukraine. It doesnt have the capacity

If the Russians start cutting the cables that deliver internet across the world then everyone will come down on them like a tonne of bricks.

That is an act of war.

is it ?

I believe any attack on "infrastructure" is an act of war.
