And just to put this to bed:

Sections lie at a depth of around 80–110 metres
From the above link on the ship, just one of the many drones it has is the swedish "double eagle" (hilariously, also the symbol of Russia):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Eagle_(mine_disposal_vehicle)
can dive to 500 metres (1,600 ft), and travel at 5 knots (9.3 km/h; 5.8 mph).
All Double Eagles are equipped with an extendable manipulator arm, which is commonly used to place a small explosive charge on a mine.
QED
Why on earth you think that humans are necessary in 2023 warfare is beyond me. Drones are where it's at now.
Poland had the means, the motive (both financial and emotional), the proximity, and the will.
Poland has been itching for a war with Russia for sometime.
It's insane to me, as this whole mess started with Obama's appeasement "reset" plan that was soft on Russia, nixing a NATO missile defense deal.
Poland realized it was a mistake and upped military stance anyway, effectively snubbing the will of Obama anyway.
I guess I'm saying they didn't care about risking escalation before, and they certainly don't now either.
I would remind you that Poland is one of the very few NATO countries to consistently meet their 2% gdp spending commitment. They've been preparing for quite some time and are exceptionally proficient.

They didn't know about the pipeline? Or you are saying they didn't know about the explosion?
Neither makes any sense at all. Of course they aren't going to admit to it.
They absolutely did have the technology to do it, again read the link. They have a ship with seabed mapping and drones for attaching explosives to mines. It's the perfect ship to do the job.
You somehow think the Seals are behind every curtain, but the obvious answer here is the poles.
Oh and it's right by the Polish Navy base in Kolobrzeg, where they have the ORP Kormoran, an underwater minesweeper ship.

No divers even required.
I still think it was Poland. Evidence:
-closest land was Poland. Not counting Sweden, unless the theory is immigrants threw a grenade in the water. https://gcaptain.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/leakage-map.jpg
-Hurts both Russia and Germany, Poland hates both. For good reason.
-they opened their own pipeline the next day after the bombing. What luck!
The tech illiteracy was surprising to me also. The zoomers can't even fathom that the "magic box" computer would lie to them.
I have heard that spearfishing is more successful against young adults now than old farts that you would suspect.
Clown world.
It won't be the nukes or WW3 that will kill us all, it will be the incompetence of diversity hires.
Yes. This is the uncomfortable truth people don't want to acknowledge. The slow decay when your planes start crashing and roads are built in dangerous ways, but especially as they start trying to control the food supply because "they know better".
Invest in food trees and property. Study what happened with Mao, we are in the cultural revolution phase which puts the famine about 15-20 ish years away if things don't change
Please, stop. My erection will not go down.
I remember having one Palestinian in my university I always wished would be expelled. Would rip his clothes in class in protest. It was calculus, like wtf are we supposed to do buddy? Sit down and shut up.
I can see why even the Muslim world doesn't like Palestinians.
one of them is basically a guy doing land development over in Texas
Quite a bit more than that. This guy ain't dumb.
There's a finite amount of land, and with infinite increasing population via immigration the law of "supply and demand" says the value of land will increase. We have seen this over the last few decades and it is accelerating the last few years as there is a deluge of migrants during the Biden administration.
He needs that influx of bodies to prop up his land value, of course he's happy to wave them through and damn anyone else it hurts. And people here think he just randomly bought that border land and "oopsie, migrants crossing! Who would have guessed!"
Similar to this, there's a reason Bernie and the rest own tons of homes.
As abhorrent as I think it is, "Don't hate the player, hate the game. " It is however a major fault of the right to think all these leftists are dumb. Certainly some are, but they otherwise know exactly what they're doing.
I'm not so sure about the migrants. Seems like everyone is fed up with them. 4 of 5 against in Germany.
This is an inflection point and opportunity to move things in our direction. Border control and limited immigration have never been so popular. We should press the advantage no matter what "side" gets support - both agree in national sovereignty.
There's a mini doc on the making of it:
I only watched the first new Frasier but missed the thing about Freddy being gay.
There was the misdirection about it when they referenced finding out about "John", but that turned out to be his dead buddy's baby he's caring for. Seems like he's being set up to have a relationship with his buddy's diverse widow.
It's actually a really bad policy. You have to remember things are generally "tit for tat", and now India could well execute some Qatari "spies".
The likelihood of escalation into war is generally why spies/diplomats are expelled rather than killed.
Lol. Someone is salty they are just flat wrong.
Really though, many Americans have no idea what Eastern Europe is really like and I'm just trying to educate.
