Germans: What did your Chancellor know, and when did he know it?
Germany’s Olaf Scholz appears to have been “in” on the plan to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline.
I have been perplexed, as are many, at the idea that the USA would unilaterally blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, thereby destroying the economies of Europe, but particularly eviscerating the German economy, which was so dependent on cheap Russian gas to fuel its heavy industries.
Indeed, Germany is already feeling the economic results of the sabotage, as more and more companies shut down operations there and move to the USA, where energy is 7x cheaper than it is in Germany now. The country is literally “de-industrialising”.
It is even more of a mystery that the UK, Denmark, Norway and Sweden all seemed to be briefed on— or at least aware of — the plan to destroy Nord Stream. Indeed, Norway appears to have played a critical role in executing the operation, according to Seymour Hersh’s bombshell exposé.
Why, then, was Germany itself excluded? Did those other countries not feel any loyalty to their fellow EU and NATO member Germany?
And then I thought: what if Germany WAS in on it? What if Olaf Scholz had been briefed? What if he had given the “green light” to the project?
This sounds ridiculous, but let’s just look at the timeline.
