I am pretty much convinced that it is cia. Maybe we have to wait 50 years before it is declassified.
West is playing the attrition game. USA has nothing to lose. No boots on the ground or anything. They just give more money. Russia can’t seriously keep up with economic game like this. Also, to everyone who thinks Russia has a lot of soldiers; why are they drafting people to military?
Russians have a big area to guard, we have already seen assassinations, explosions happenings inside mainland russia. Sabotage groups from ukraine, CIA etc . So they still need need troops to guard the borders.
Anti tank weapons smuggled in can obliterate even a armoured presidential car.
Already many in Washington , including the sleepy joe where calling for putin to be taken down. So they still need new troops there at russian borders, while existing troops who have experience and training are sent to battle or simply be able to hold on the captured territory.
Russian air force are still pounding ISIS and turkey backed terrorists in syria.
Russian airforce still trolls nato and US airspace.
Wagner services are seeked in various countries that do not like the west.
As far as who has the motives to blow up NS1, NS2 pipes. USA, UK, Ukraine, Poland. Out of these only USA is sort of immune from condemnation from EU. Because US gives nuke umbrella for many nato countries, also has biggest share in nato both financially and militarly. They are or were the worlds largest oil and gas producers.
Just look the press conferences from the secretary of state.
They said, "no one gains from this, but then the very next sentence is atleast its ends EU dependence on Russian Gas and they further add USA is the worlds largest LNG supplier and we are ready to support EU with US energy".
Also the location where the pipes where blown up, few days or weeks back. A US navy MH60R helicopter was flying around in circular pattern. The helicopter has a highly sensitive magnetometer perfect for detecting a 1.5inch thick steel pipe.
People have overlayed the flightpath and the areas of leak detections. This info, overlayed images have been promptly deleted by pretty much every western defense forum, social media etc.
So when this happens usually this sort of info is then put in some unknown websites. Which the MSM media and everyone else can easily label them as conspiracy theory websites.
Hunter biden laptop, they all where deleted from MSM and social media, it ended up being discussed in conspiracy theory websites, after the elections, the FBI who asked facebook to supress this during 2020 elections finally admitted they do have the laptop.
If one follows news from russian telegram channels vs the western media. The amount of BS and lies shown in the western media is just appauling.
. Russia & France are on opposite sides in Ukraine but on the same side when it comes to Armenia. Iran also supports Armenia as we do. Israel & Turkey are with Azerbaijan. Who is the US to support here?
Armenians & Azeris its 4th & 5th right to respond
India is now going to export pinaka MRLS to Armenia, while Azaris get MRLS from turkey.
Last year we had sold them artillery finding radar.
I think with Russian defense industry capacity is all diverted to their own military. Countries like Armenia which have soviet MRLS want to diversify their procurement.
Also not sure what version they asked for but some of Pinaka versions out range the ones Azaris got from turkey.
Pinaka also has guided versions for better CEP(accuracy) and long range versions but they are still undergoing final user trails.
But from news articles Armenia wants its fast.
This obviously has been done without Russian approval. Since Armenia is in their sphere of influence and security umberala.
With US trying to extend their influence in Armenia. Nancy polecy US house speaker visited Armenia a week or so back, unannounced.
So Russia is more then happy with India sending in military hardware.
