TUCKER CARLSON: What really happened to the Nord Stream pipeline?

I hate to begin a Tuesday night on a grim be aware, however one of many environmental catastrophes, one of many nice environmental catastrophes of our time, is unfolding tonight off the coast of Denmark. The Nord Stream pipelines, that are monumental Russian owned conduits that carry pure fuel from Russia to Western Europe, have been breached.  

As we communicate, Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 are pouring tens of millions of cubic meters of pure fuel into the Baltic Sea. Footage from the air, which now you can see in your display screen, present a poisonous bubble area greater than half a mile large. You possibly can solely guess at what number of marine mammals are being killed proper now – numerous. However the lasting harm could also be to the environment.  

Pure fuel is comprised of as much as 90% methane. Methane, as Joe Biden has typically instructed you, is the important thing driver of world warming, which is, after all, an existential menace to humanity and the planet. So, if you happen to’re frightened about local weather change, what simply occurred to the Nord Stream pipelines is as near the apocalypse as we now have ever come. So, the query is, how did this occur? And it seems it was not an accident.  

At the exact same time that leaks in these pipelines had been detected, Swedish officers recorded two highly effective undersea explosions, every one in every of which was equal to tons of of kilos of TNT. Nothing in nature can account for that. Virtually instantly, the pipelines started leaking in three separate locations. So, there’s just one rationalization for what occurred. This was an act of business terrorism. That was very apparent to the prime minister of Poland and he wasted no time in saying so.

MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI, POLISH PRIME MINISTER: At the moment we’re additionally coping with an act of sabotage. We have no idea the main points of what occurred but, however we will clearly see that it’s an act of sabotage, an act that in all probability marks the following stage within the escalation of the state of affairs we’re coping with in Ukraine. 

We are able to clearly see, he stated, this was an act of sabotage, an act of terrorism. Properly, sure, we will see that. So, the query is, who did it? And naturally, the prime suspect is apparent. It will be the identical man who brought about home inflation right here within the U.S. and stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. That be Vladimir Putin. The Washington Submit acquired proper to it. “Putin,” they declared, “is now weaponizing the Nord Stream pipelines.”  

In line with the Canadian ambassador to the U.N., Vladimir Putin has determined to make use of “air pollution as an act of conflict.” Progressive Twitter strongly endorsed this conclusion. Putin did it and that is sensible till you considered it for only a second. Vladimir Putin could also be evil. They inform us that he’s evil, however is he silly? In all probability is not silly and but and, here is the unusual half, if you happen to had been Vladimir Putin, you would need to be a suicidal moron to explode your individual power pipeline. That is the one factor you’d by no means do.

Pure fuel pipelines are the primary supply of your energy and your wealth and most critically, your leverage over different international locations. Europe wants your power now greater than ever with winter approaching. If you cannot ship that power, then international locations like Germany haven’t any want to concentrate to what you need. You are in the midst of a conflict, an all hands-on deck conflict, so that you want all of the leverage you will get. Beneath these circumstances, there is no such thing as a likelihood you’d blow up Nord Stream 1 or 2.  

Not now, clearly. In truth, it is so apparent that at the same time as our famously dim secretary of State, Tony Blinken, appeared to acknowledge it, sabotaging Nord Stream, he stated at present is “clearly in nobody’s curiosity.” Proper, however actually solely half proper. It’s true that blowing up Nord Stream doesn’t assist Vladimir Putin. He wouldn’t try this. Why would he? However that does not imply that different international locations would not think about doing it. They might think about it and we all know they’ve thought of it as a result of no less than one in every of them has stated so in public. In early February, lower than three weeks earlier than the conflict in Ukraine started, Joe Biden urged on digital camera that he would possibly take out these pipelines. Watch.  

PRESIDENT BIDEN: If Russia invades meaning tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine once more. Then there will probably be, there will probably be not a Nord Stream 2. We’ll convey an finish to it.  

REPORTER: However how will you. How will you try this, precisely, for the reason that mission and management of the mission is inside Germany’s management?  

BIDEN: We’ll. I promise you, we’ll have the ability to do it.  

PUTIN ‘LOSING’ WAR IN UKRAINE, FORCING ANNEXATION REFERENDUM TO SECURE ‘POLITICAL VICTORY,’ KEANE SAYS 

Discover how he phrased it and he is the president. He would not phrase issues accidentally, notably his studying off playing cards. He did not say, I’ll pause the supply of fuel from Russia to Germany. He stated there will not be a Nord Stream 2. We’ll put an finish to it. Will take it out. Will blow it up.  

How will you do that? He was requested. I promise you we can do it. They thought this by way of and but these watching, very a lot together with us, did not take Biden significantly when he stated it.  

That is the president who has declared local weather change essentially the most urgent emergency within the historical past of the world. That is the person who lectures you about utilizing a woodstove or driving an SUV due to its emissions. That is the man who spent billions making an attempt to mitigate cow flatulence as a result of methane. Would that man actually blow up a methane pipeline in the midst of the Baltic Sea? It was onerous to think about.  

That may be an unimaginably reckless act. That may be the form of factor you’d do if you happen to needed to begin a nuclear conflict. It will be insane and but looking back, it is apparent they had been fascinated about this as a result of Joe Biden wasn’t the one individual to counsel it. Toria Nuland on the State Division stated just about the exact same factor. Nuland is a lifelong conflict cheerleader. She labored to convey in regards to the Iraq invasion, by no means apologized, stored going. She helped engineer the coup that overthrew the Ukrainian authorities some years again. So succesful, clearly she’s able to something… however environmental terrorism? Even for Toria Nuland, that appeared an excessive amount of too excessive, and but right here she is in January.  

RUSSIAN OLIGARCH’S YACHT RAIDED IN GERMANY 

VICTORIA NULAND: With regard to Nord Stream 2, we proceed to have very robust and clear conversations with our German allies and I need to be clear with you at present. If Russia invades Ukraine, a technique or one other, Nord Stream 2 is not going to transfer ahead.  

Someway, we’ll cease Nord Stream. Now, trying again, these phrases appear chilling eight months later, as pure fuel pours into the Baltic Sea and is within the environment. So, you must ask, might the Biden administration actually do one thing like this? We will not say for certain. We do not know for certain. We are able to let you know that shut allies of the Biden White Home consider they actually did do it. Radek Sikorski is a Polish politician who’s chairman of the EU USA delegation within the European Parliament.  

He is linked. He is additionally the husband of regime stenographer Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic journal. Sikorski is so near Joe Biden that he is acquired an image of the 2 of them collectively in his Twitter profile. So, when the pipelines blew up, Sikorski responded instantly and here is what he wrote. “Thanks. USA.”

So as soon as once more, did the Biden administration actually do that? It is onerous to consider. Provided that it is an atrocity, it is successfully an act of terrorism, we do not need to make that accusation, however we should always let you know that possibly not coincidentally, at present, a brand-new pipeline was unveiled, a pipeline that carries non-Russian pure fuel in roughly the identical areas, Nord Stream 1 and a couple of. That is known as the Baltic Pipe. It was inaugurated in Poland. It is going to carry pure fuel from Norway by way of Denmark to Poland and different international locations close by. And it is more likely to do very nicely, since now it has much less competitors.

Making sense? What does the White Home say about this? How are they accounting for what occurred at present?  

GERMANY WARNED BY CIA OF POSSIBLE ATTACK ON NORD STREAM GAS PIPELINE WEEKS IN ADVANCE: REPORT 

Properly, they don’t seem to be precisely enthusiastically denying accountability for it. As an alternative, they’re trying on the upside. This is the president’s publicist, noting that the destruction of yet one more power pipeline is yet one more alternative so that you can purchase an electrical automotive. 

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: As you all know, these pipelines weren’t pumping fuel into Europe presently and NS2 was by no means operational, as you guys know. NS1 has not been operational for weeks as a result of Putin has weaponized power and we now have stated this, many instances earlier than. This simply drives house the significance of our efforts to work collectively to get different fuel provides to Europe and to assist efforts to cut back fuel consumption and speed up true power independence by shifting to wash power financial system.  

Oh. “Transferring to wash power” say that individuals who very could be liable for letting methane into the Baltic Sea and into the environment at a scale that most individuals cannot think about. The individuals lecturing you about your SUV might have blown up a pure fuel pipeline and created one of many nice catastrophes of our time in its impact on the surroundings.

WHITE HOUSE SAYS ‘WE WELCOME’ RUSSIANS APPLYING FOR US ASYLUM AMID PUTIN CONSCRIPTION 

In the event that they did this, this will probably be one of many craziest, most damaging issues any American administration has ever performed. However it could even be completely in line with what they do. What do they do? They destroy. These individuals constructed nothing, not one factor. As an alternative, they tear down and so they desecrate from historic statues to the Structure to power infrastructure and nobody in Congress is making an attempt to cease any of it. They’re simply getting ready for the inevitable fallout. Tonight, the Senate simply superior a spending invoice with $35 million for the Division of Power to “put together for and reply to potential nuclear and radiological incidents in Ukraine.” What? 

The spending invoice additionally brings the whole U.S. expenditure on Ukraine, the conflict, but additionally funding its authorities and power for Ukraine to $67 billion on the eve of what could possibly be an enormous financial disruption right here to our financial system, $67 billion. How a lot is that? Properly, it is greater than Russia’s total navy finances final 12 months, and Congress is anticipated to totally go the invoice later this week with Republicans nodding alongside just like the zombies they’re.

What could be the impact of this? Each motion has a response, equal and reverse. Blow up the Nord Stream pipelines? Okay, we have entered a brand new part, one through which america is immediately at conflict with the most important nuclear energy on the earth. It doesn’t suggest we’ll go nuclear instantly, but it surely does counsel there could possibly be penalties. If we truly blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, why would not Russia sever undersea web cables? 

What would occur in the event that they did that? What would occur if banks in London could not talk with banks in New York? Simply that one piece of it, leaving apart its potential results on our energy grid, however let’s simply say the banks could not talk with one another for someday. What would the financial impact of that be? We’d cascade downward into your own home. We are able to have an precise collapse. We might wind up in a short time in third world situations. These are the stakes. Have the individuals behind this, the geniuses like Toria Nuland, thought of the results? Possibly they’ve. Possibly that was the purpose.
