Denmark puts energy sector on alert after Nord Stream leaks: ministry

Two leaks have been identified on the Nord Stream 1 Russia-Europe gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea, hours after a similar leak was found on its twin Nord Stream 2 pipeline, Scandinavian authorities say, adding that while the pipeline is not in operation it contains gas

The situation is being actively investigated. Evenmore since Russia and the EU are in an energy war, linked to the invasion of Ukraine.

UPDATE : Polish PM is already talking of the three leaks as an act of sabotage.

‘Hard to imagine’ Nord Stream gas pipeline leaks ‘accidental’: Danish PM

SECOND UPDATE : two explosions were registered before the leaks were detected. The leaks are visible from the surface, as pictured by the Danish Air Force.


Also : today is the end of the Russian “referendums”.

Even after the vote the annexation will happen only after Russia passes legislation to do so. But it is expected to be quick.
It should be said that russian federation forces don’t even control a some of the territories they want to annex. And are fighting in others.

For the sake of information, here is how the timeline from Crimea was :

  • 27 February 2014 : russian federation forces take control of Crimea
  • 16 March 2014 : a referendum is held in the region to join RF (officially 97 percent approve)
  • 21 March 2014 : the Russian Federation formally annex Crimea

Glad to see that push. I’m all for labor opportunities in prison. It’s gotta be optional though. I know Nevada criminals do (or used to) make license plates and made a fair wage for it. They would get out with some savings, but unpaid and/or forced is nonsense.

Exactly. Not everyone in prison is some sort of degenerate and they don’t need to be treated like wild animals.

While I appreciate your sentiment, I’m not sure that’s the point. Let’s pretend for a second they are all degenerates, they still wouldn’t need forced labor to make them better. Forced classes maybe, but forced labor is just a way to take advantage of them.

You’re right though that no one should be treated like wild animals.

That’s true. Even if they have committed some horrific crime, they still don’t deserve the forced labor. I should have made that more clear in my last post, but I agree with you.

Shit, what the hell is he playing. I don’t trust anything that evil, conniving bastard does that seems positive. He’s always got a play of some kind, a scheme…

Is this a good or bad thing? On the surface seems good (not the breach), but your response makes me question it.

He works for the passport office so this may mean a big workload?

@Accidental_Kills98 am I right?

Yep, if they do make them free it creates more work for us now and more work later when their passports are inevitably delayed due to the current backlog.

Small thing, and quickly dispersed, but Iranians have support :

Ian is now just a storm and is leaving Florida on the Atlantic side. They expect it regain hurricane status and then crash into the Carolina coast maybe on Friday. Death toll already in the hundreds and they haven’t really started counting yet.
