DISINFO: Germany is preparing for a take-over of Russia

SUMMARY

Berlin is preparing to "cash in" on the gas pipelines of the Russian multinational Gazprom to deliver fuel from its LNG terminals. According to forecasts, the German authorities are most likely preparing for a take-over of Russia. It is a glorious German tradition. Attempts to rob and conquer Russia have been going on since the grey prehistoric times. And yes, Germany will rob Russia as soon as the opportunity arises. If there is no opportunity, they will carefully create one.

RESPONSE

Wild conspiracy theory and unsubstantiated claim from pro-Kremlin media in the wider context of the explosion of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. No facts or evidence are provided to support the claim that Germany wants to take over Russia.

On 26 September 2022, the NS1 and the NS2 pipelines both ruptured. Denmark and Sweden view the Nord Stream pipeline leaks as 'deliberate actions'.

Sweden, Germany and Denmark opened investigations into the incident. This is the first step in determining what caused the leaks. Anything before that would be mere speculation and conspiracy theory.

As High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell stated: "Any deliberate disruption of European energy infrastructure is utterly unacceptable and will be met with a robust and united response." NATO called the incidents "deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage. US President Biden stated that the Nord Stream leak is a ‘deliberate act of sabotage’.

The European Union has not named any party as being responsible for the incident.
