Who DID blow up the Nord Stream gas pipelines… Russia or America? Finger of blame is now being pointed at President Biden amid riddle of blasts in the Baltic

Deep beneath the Baltic Sea, a remotely controlled submarine releases a mine which nestles beside a gas pipeline.

Other mines are laid at critical junctures along hundreds of miles of piping connecting Russia and Germany. They contain the equivalent of hundreds of pounds of TNT.

When they are detonated – either by a timing device or remotely from a secret control room – the aftershocks are felt 800 miles away and seismologists liken the blasts to earthquakes.

Within seconds Nord Stream 1 and 2 begin to leak. Within days, millions of cubic metres of natural gas have been released into Danish and Swedish waters.

Mission accomplished for whoever instigated this unprecedented act of industrial terrorism.

But was it also the staggering act of self-sabotage by Vladimir Putin that the world assumes it to have been?

After all, the president who threatened to ‘end’ Nord Stream earlier this year resides not in the Kremlin but the White House. US President Joe Biden could not have been clearer when, in early February, he promised to bring Nord Stream ‘to an end’ should Russian troops and tanks enter Ukraine.

Bill Clinton says ‘there is a limit’ to how many migrants US can take without causing ‘disruption’

Former President Bill Clinton says "there is a limit" to how many migrants the U.S. can accept before it causes disruption. He also criticized moves by GOP governors to transport migrants into the interior as a "stunt."

Clinton spoke on a CNN podcast and was asked by host Fareed Zakaria about "economic migrants" who are "gaming" the asylum system.

"There is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without severe disruption and assistance, and our system is based much more on an assumption that things would be more normal," the former president said.

There have been more than 2.1 million migrant encounters this fiscal year alone as a historic border crisis continues to ravage the southern border, prompting Republican governors to bus and fly migrants deeper into the interior to "sanctuary" jurisdictions. There were more than 200,000 migrant encounters in August alone.

Clinton said that when he was a boy and a young man, Mexican migrants would move back and forth across the border to work in agriculture "and it worked for people." But he conceded that the situation was now very different.

"It’s an old story, but now you've got the largest number of refugees since World War II because of Syria and now Ukraine and other problems," he said.
