  Does anyone actually believe that Russia blew up its own gas pipeline?

  by slimboyfat in

  the claim that russia blew up its own pipeline functions, whether intentionally or not, as a test of our collective intelligence, and it’s worrisome how many fail the test.

  as a former pentagon official put it, “a child could tell you that doesn’t make sense”.

  they talk a lot about russian propaganda and suppression of their media, which i don’t doubt for a minute.

  Good thread, SBF.

  Here is something I wrote about this topic on 29 September last year ...

  There have been reports that Russia's pipeline to Germany, Nord Stream, is leaking gas. Mainstream media have been very quick to speculate that Putin has sabotaged his own equipment.

  
  

  Why the hell would he do this? It makes no sense.

  
  

  If he wants to weaponise gas, surely all he has to do is turn the taps off.

  
  

  What has most definitely not been explored, however, is the possibility that someone else other than Russia has damaged Nord Stream, either deliberately or accidentally.

  
  

  The more I think about the war in Ukraine, the more disturbing I find it. Let's just say that Russia isn't the only one guilty of spreading propaganda.

  Common sense on Jockland's gender Bill

  nicola sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by pm rishi sunak.. under the rules of devolvement, the uk government can overrule holyrood if the pm so chooses.. lots of predictable howling form the scotch nuts, with ridiculous claims that rishi is trying to organise a fight with holyrood.

  of course, it's actually the other way round - the snp has been trying to pass this gender bill in order to drive a wedge between scotland and the rest of the uk.. sensibly, rishi has pulled rank on sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.. nicola sturgeon needs to know her place ....

  @peacefulpete - yes, the rate of assault for trans people is interesting.

  Of course, the most common type of violent crime is cis male on cis male violence. So, the world is more dangerous for cis men than any other group.

  But what has all this got to do with Scotland's gender Bill?

  A Bill which would allow people to change gender without a doctor's certificate of gender dysphoria is obviously frought with danger. If you cannot see this then you're a bit of an idiot, frankly.

  “supplies of offensive weapons to the kyiv regime would lead to a global catastrophe,” state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin said.

  “if washington and nato supply weapons that would be used for striking peaceful cities and making attempts to seize our territory as they threaten to do, it would trigger a retaliation with more powerful weapons.”.

  Game over Russia...they have lost and simply do not know it yet - well, I sure hope so.

  And yet it's very strange the way pricks such as Boris Johnson talk about Putin and the Kremlin. When Boris wants the West to give more tanks, it's all about how ruthless and mad Putin is, with no respect for human life and with no scruples. Mention nuclear war to Boris however, and then it's all about how Putin wouldn't ever do it.

  So, which is it? Does Putin have scruples or not?

  Is Putin mad or not?

  Western propaganda is almost as batshit crazy as Russian propaganda

  Simon Bird was great as Will McKenzie in The Inbetweeners, but this show might not be so good.

  We were dealt a huge blow last year by people whose cruelty and vindictiveness I still struggle to comprehend - er, no.

  Lloydy boy, your channel was dealt a huge blow because you confessed to cheating on your wife with whores, and then expected the person you told to just shut up and continue indulging you.

  She chose to do something else instead.

  Bravo! Good for her

  Boris Johnson is still at it, our now ex-PM is prancing about on the world's stage, dispensing his priceless wisdom hither and thither.

  Boris writes in today's Daily Mail, pleading for the UK to send tanks to Ukraine.

  Hang on a sec, what if you're concerned about Putin's nuclear threats if the West gets involved? Well, Bellend Boris knows better than you, you thick bastards! So just shut the fuck up, do what Boris says and believe what Boris believes.

  Why doesn't he just fuck off back to his Uckfield constituency?
  

  Strange that he seems to care more about Ukrainians that Uckfieldians ...

  For Russia, there is one additional option- get rid of Putin and see what kind of deal they can get - ok, but who would replace Putin as Russia's leader?

  You know there are people in the Kremlin who are more hawkish and nasty than Putin, right?

  Is Russia bluffing? - well, there's only one way to find out 🙄

  The implication here, of course, is that Russia will escalate via using nuclear weapons.

  Former PM Boris Johnson was in Kiev yesterday, being given some award by Mayor Klitschko. And Boris was confident that Putin would not press the big red button.

  What makes Boris so certain?

  Have the intelligence services briefed him, or is he just bullshitting like usual? 🤔

  "Statistics prove that rates of violent offending for trans identified males remain the same as the general male population." - it would be interesting to see the rates for sexual abuse, and what proportion of trans inmates are in there for sex crimes.

  Nicola Sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender Bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by PM Rishi Sunak.

  Under the rules of devolvement, the UK government can overrule Holyrood if the PM so chooses.

  Lots of predictable howling form the Scotch Nuts, with ridiculous claims that Rishi is trying to organise a fight with Holyrood. Of course, it's actually the other way round - the SNP has been trying to pass this gender Bill in order to drive a wedge between Scotland and the rest of the UK.

  Sensibly, Rishi has pulled rank on Sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.

  Nicola Sturgeon needs to know her place ...
