By now, it’s conclusive that the U.S. Government blew up the Nord Stream pipelines and blamed Russia.

This is a succinct factual summary of the situation, as-of 21 March 2024:

GLENN DIESEN: Welcome to today's talk. My name is Glenn Diesen and I'm joined by Alexander Mercouris and Dmitry Polyanskiy the First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations.

0:14

We really wanted to talk to you [Dmitry] today about the recent developments of Nord Stream or lack

0:21

thereof, because for anyone unfamiliar with Nord Stream, I

0:26

guess the quick summary is [that the Nord Stream pipelines from Russia to Germany were] attacked [blown up, destroyed] in September of 2022. This

0:31

was the biggest industrial attack in Europe in its history, plus an environmental

0:38

disaster. The Americans [Biden] had very openly threatened to destroy it, as

0:43

well as [they had already] sanctioned it; and once it was blown up, we remember they did their victory lap

0:49

saying what a great opportunity it was. Radoslaw Sikorski [Poland’s current Foreign Minister] was tweeting [“Thank you, USA.”, which quickly disappeared, which is the way that the U.S. regime censors-out history so as to pump lies].

0:55

And yet I found fascinating then that the politicians and media suddenly began to argue that all evidences were pointing

1:02

towards Russia [as having blown them up], even though there was never put forward any evidence [for that], and [NATO’s chief] Stoltenberg even implied this could have

1:08

been an Article Five attack {meaning that it might justify WW3 against Russia], but this was before the Seymour Hersh article which blamed the US [Biden] for the

1:15

attack. And then, we saw the narrative shift. The United States began to argue that it was a pro-Ukrainian group on a

1:21

sailboat who were behind this attack, and several NATO countries then began

1:27

these investigations which we want to ask about today. Russia {the co-owner of the Nord Stream pipelines along with Germany] was excluded from participating in or providing evidence to the investigation. The Russians put

1:33

forward a resolution at the United Nations to establish an independent investigation. From what I understand the

1:38

Western countries all rejected [the Russian proposal for an independent investigation], and we had a Washington Post article quoting a

1:45

European official who said that we don't ask too many questions because we will probably not like what we find if we

1:50

keep digging. So, for the rest of us, of course, we were asked to keep quiet, not to

1:56

engage in speculations, while the investigators were allowed to do their job. so yeah Mr Polyanskiy, what is the

2:02

current status of those investigations? DMITRY POLYANSKI: Well, I think Glenn you made an excellent recap of what happened

2:10

before, and actually the

2:15

most recent developments were the decisions of Denmark and Sweden

2:22

to actually abandon their own investigation saying that they can't proceed further because because they

2:29

really don't see any any prospects of finding someone who is responsible for this; so, it actually means that for

2:38

one year, exactly one year, they were just beating around the bush, and

2:44

my assessment is that they were just trying not to come to these awkward questions that you mentioned that would

2:50

imply very awkward answers, awkward for them who — for those who listen to

2:56

this — answers [the basic question]. So, we now have technically [a] German investigation which

3:02

is going on, and which is a bit weird frankly, because

3:09

the place of the of this sabotage is in Danish territorial waters;

3:16

so, in my understanding, the most important of these investigations should have been Danish one. Germany is an

3:24

affected country in the same way as Russia is an affected country [since they co-own it], but actually it's a big question what

3:31

kind of uh actions and conclusions Germany can make in the absence of Investigations from Denmark and Sweden [the countries nearest to the crime] so

3:38

I don't think it will be a surprise for everybody when Germany will come to more or less the same conclusions. If I

3:46

compare it to to criminal investigation, that would mean that after a

3:52

murder, after a year of investigation then, all of a sudden, the

3:58

investigators come to the conclusion that the person was murdered, and that's actually the outcome of Danish and

4:05

Swedish investigations, so we wasted one year. It was not

4:11

by chance. I think that it was deliberately to conceal the proofs,

4:19

conceal the facts on the ground. Of course, now it's it's much more difficult to conduct investigation. ...
