🇷🇺 Moscow does not exclude sabotage as a cause of the Nord Stream emergency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says. "We are extremely concerned about this news," he added.
No question this is Working Hypothesis Number One:

BOTH Nord Streams were sabotaged by the usual suspects, who are DESPERATE and need to prevent the German government by any means necessary to start seeing the light.

We are about to pass a certain point of no-return. The new status of the liberated territories will put an end to the uncertainty. They'll become a fully-fledged federal entities. So we, will be de facto carrying out not a special military operation (abroad - War in Ukraine, Subtitled), but a counter-terrorism operation on our own lands" - head of the executive power of Russian Crimea Axyonov is quoted as saying by the news agencies. #context

The legal figure of a counter-terrorism operation is well-developed and well-known by the Russian military, executive power and law-enforcement. It have been used during the Chechen insurgency in the Caucasus regions.
I've just been to RT's CrossTalk on a VERY civilized discussion over the referendums and beyond - unthinkable anywhere in NATOstan. Link as soon as they send me.
THE PLOT THICKENS

And it's getting increasingly hardcore.

The Swedish National Seismic Network registered POWERFUL UNDERWATER EXPLOSIONS exactly in the same area of the immense gas leaks on both Nord Streams pipelines.

Could it be that the usual suspects are SO absolutely desperate that they went for - or subcontracted - a gambit that may be easily unmasked?

Паранойя паранойей, но ещё 2 сентября мы обратили внимание на интересные манёвры, которые совершает американский вертолёт с позывным FFAB123. Тогда мы предположили, что этот борт — из авиакрыла USS Kearsarge, а сегодня посмотрели на него более подробно.

По данным сайта ads-b.nl, этим позывным в тот день пользовались 6 бортов, из которых нам удалось установить бортовые номера трёх. Все они — Сикорский MH-60S.

Наложив маршрут FFAB123 на схему вчерашней аварии, мы получаем довольно интересный результат — вертолёт то ли летал вдоль трассы Северного Потока - 2, то ли вообще между точками, в которых произошла авария.

В Твиттере, тем временем, нашлись скриншоты и других полётов американской авиации — следующий скриншот сделан 13 сентября.

Ну и, наконец, надо обратить внимание на июньскую статью в Sea Power, где американцы хвастаются экспериментами в области подводных беспилотников, которые они ставили на учениях BALTOPS 22 — как раз, в районе острова Бронхольм.
You gotta ask yourself ONE question, and one question only.

Cui bono from the double sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and 2?

Luhansk sums up the results of the referendum - residents hang Russian tricolors around the city

A few hours ago, voting in a referendum on the entry of the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into Russia officially ended. The results are being calculated and have not yet been announced, but the residents clearly demonstrate their attitude, thanks to which it is clear what choice they have made. The capital of the Luhansk People's Republic is already wearing Russian flags - ordinary citizens hang tricolors from their windows.

We take the words of Kadyrov very seriously, his statements tend to have a weird timing. When he says something, it often is not YET the reality in the moment. But eventually, things happen exactly as he says.

Kadyrov, while being an interesting character himself - does have something none of us do: a direct line with Putin and Shoigu. The guy does not talk out of his ass.

Based on Kadyrov’s statements, we made the decision to not watch the battles day by day. What is happening now does not matter. The positions that are currently held by Ukrainians are highly likely temporary for them.

Wait for the Russian Armed Forces to build up their numbers and hardware, that is when the war starts. As Kadyrov said, things will go from 0 to 100 once the Russian Armed Forces enter the battlefield in the proposed numbers.

It is simply a waste of time and effort to focus on positional battles at the moment. Ukraine’s offensive has died one way or another. Their only activity now is near Krasnyy Lyman.


In other words, take your mental break from these events while you can 🥱

Today, the leaders of DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson will officially request Putin to consider their accession to the Russian Federation. The head of Luhansk has already done it.

On September 27, referendums on the accession of the uncontrolled territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation end. And the procedure for their admission to the Russian Federation may take place on September 29. We analyse what Ukraine is losing:
▪️regions in which referendums are held have rich soil, mineral deposits, developed industry, large economic, industrial and human potential, developed mining industry, transport and industrial infrastructure;
▪️until 2014, only Donetsk and Lugansk regions together accounted for 16% of Ukraine's GDP;
▪️integration of agricultural regions (Zaporozhye and Kherson regions) will turn the Russian Federation into the largest player in the grain market;
▪️Odessa actually remains the only access point of Ukraine to the sea (at the same time, Odessa remains in the sphere of interests of the Russian Federation);
▪️Ukraine is losing about 9 million people, and taxpayers in uncontrolled territories will move into the Russian legal field.
As you can see, the situation is unenviable, but at the same time, no one is talking about the future arrival of winter, when the lack of energy resources and other economic difficulties will force European countries to radically reconsider their policy of supporting Ukraine.
