Ah, Budweisergrad. Yes, I think all Europe can get behind that idea.

I suggest: Plzeňskýgrad. 😊

I rather doubt anyone wants to open that can of worms. Though I suspect in the event of a NATO-Russo war, Kaliningrad is plastered with Polish artillery and airstrikes on day 1.

[Mike1158]

A variation on one of these perhaps?

It would have to be taken and occupied in such a situation. They still retaining nuclear weapons stockpiles there, one of them in an old Prussian force that was used for SS-22 warheads during the cold war.

Its the same logic that Informed Kennedy's airstrikes posture on Cuba, if they bombed it, they had to occupy it, because no way would an airstrike get all the weapons.

It's already been decided by the internet long ago that it's going to be Czech, Poland expects economic benefits from Beer Stream 1 and Beer Stream 2 going from Czechia to Kralovec via Poland, to be exported worldwide using the beer terminals there. 

That came close to costing me one. 

With the political situation in CZ you guys might have to add it to Poland. The name should be Kormoran Gora 

OK, they don't live in the mountains but there are none anyway and that's a good local beer from Masuria.

There was an explosion on the railway line from Warsaw to the Ukrainian border. 

The pictures of the damage I saw showed no obvious damage. PM Tusk is rather upset anyway. 

[Stuart Galbraith]

As pointed out on the NATO thread, there was several incidents, with various things such as chains left on the track, even a screwed down metal plate, which presumably wouldnt trip the track circuit. Sounds for the most part unsophisticated, although that may be less an indicator of state involvement, than the employment of local criminals. 

Pretty disgusted the international media hasnt noticed how dangerous this is. You only have to have  single train full of passengers fall off the track, and we likely are in a war.

Some Polish joker publicly thanked someone for blowing up a gas pipeline.

Good for the geese, good for the gander.

Oh, and about those drones. The narrative they were all decoys turns out to be a fibre.

 

[Markus Becker]

The announcement comes a bit late, even though I think it's correct but a two months delay is a bad PR move. 

[Stuart Galbraith]

Photograph shows a detonator wire. I suppose you can read it both ways, either they wanted to blow it up under a train, or makesure it didn't go off under one.

 

[JWB]

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced this morning that they have identified the two suspects in yesterday’s sabotage of several sections of crucial rail line in Poland, with at least one attempt successfully blowing up a rail section using C4, as a pair of Ukrainian nationals long since linked to intelligence services in Russia.

And this is why I still cant reject the possiblity that Nordstream was a Russian false flag. Because it has been and Is precisely what they do.

[Sinistar]

even the west tended to drop that angle instead of showing all of its evidence after the investigations wrapped up

if russia had done that then leaders or the media in the west would be showing that all over the place in order to whip their public up to prepare to confront russia 

 

instead you see the story sort of quietly disappear except to implicate some random unconnected ukrainian individuals

it was not the russians who blamed someone from ukraine

that came from the west - more or less the official explanation

 

so the russian false flag story makes little sense because the west which evidently knew what happened seemed to point it at something or someone else - which is to say pointed at ukraine- which in itself would raise questions about whether ukraine had done this to its own patron giving them money and resources and equipment and paying them back this way - unless that was deliberate under the direction from washington and / or nato / and or kyiv

 

if they had the evidence that russia had done it then it makes no sense to send signals about ukraine

you would just come out and show how russia had done it instead of this circuitous connection to a supposed partner or ally or implicate ukraine in some odd way

 

but it is part of the odd character of the propaganda war of this whole show
