WILF 44,298 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 It’s as complicated as this, we hitched our wagon to hostile foreign powers and then picked a fight with them……two acts so ridiculously stupid that what did we think would happen ? I have come to the conclusion that western governments have got themselves into a mindset that the pretend money lent to them by their investment bank masters solves every problem……people won’t care about nation states or national identity or Asians raping kids or sovereign territory as long as we throw enough pretend money at them (which they then have to pay back in real money) I think the market reaction to Britain daring to do something a little bit libertarian this week with the tax system tells its own story…..the budget wasn’t sticking to the script and the markets panicked and are moving to try and destroy the idea. Maybe I’m wildly wrong, who knows ? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 1 hour ago, Born Hunter said: The Germans were warned in summer by the CIA about a possible attack scenario on the Nord Stream pipelines. U.S. intelligence claimed to have intercepted Russian communications in which concerns were expressed about possible Ukrainian attacks on Western infrastructure. The Ukrainians allegedly tried to rent a boat in Sweden for this purpose. The CIA did not consider the scenario of a Ukrainian attack to be very credible, but the mere fact that the possibility of an attack on Western infrastructure was mentioned by the Russian side prompted the Americans to warn the Germans about the scenario.

I saw this post covering Ukrainian combat swimmers today and it was just a nice coincidence. That said, I didn’t know it wouldn’t be in their remit. I know various branches have diving units for different tasks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a hypothetical British op, would RE divers join up with Navy clearance divers? Or would it depend on what units are deployed. Or would it exclusively be RE? I just assumed RE area of responsibility would have normally been fresh water. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
