A German newspaper now has the full story of how the Nord Stream pipeline was blown up and why the Ukrainian government was almost certainly involved.
Here’s a condensed version: A commando-style team of Ukrainian professional divers carried out the operation from a sailing boat rented in Germany, which gave them easy access to the Nord Stream site.
While the German government would have preferred to ignore the story, diligent law enforcement officials pursued the investigation and matched explosive residues found on the sailing boat with those recovered from the pipeline fragments.
The most interesting part is how they traced the perpetrators. This is where a speeding camera comes in. By sheer coincidence, it caught a car speeding with the saboteurs on their way to port. Investigators tracked the car via its registered owner and discovered who had been inside. But the names turned out to be fake. Coordinating with Polish border security, they confirmed these individuals had crossed from Ukraine. But here’s the twist: The names were fake, but the passports were real, meaning that the Ukrainian government had to have been involved.
For years we were told Russia was responsible, when in fact it was Ukraine all along (which is very similar to what happened with the 2016 election interference).
If I were Trump, I’d use these stunning investigation results to apply serious leverage on Zelensky.
