Russia blames 'British Navy' for gas pipeline damage

Russia's defence ministry says representatives of a 'British Navy unit' blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea last month.

The Americans always get the credit for everything so it is nice that we get the blame for a change.

Very flattering Russia, though these days we can't even organise a government to last longer than a lettuce.

Actually, it was Colonel Mustard, in the Baltic Sea, with a candlestick.

The British Navy did an amazing job sailing a battleship inside the pipeline from the Russian end.

Loch Ness Monster is more of a contractor than officially part of the Royal Navy, but I can understand the confusion

[ZytphenA]

As a dane im outraged that we weren't blamed for it...

[synappticuser]

That Russian Defense Ministry comment, is literally a dramatic case of 'gas - lighting'!

[Michiel_de_Jong]

I imagine a new script for the next 'James Bond'
.. 'From Russia with gas'
.. 'For your gas only'
.. 'License to blow up'

It was actually captain Jack Sparrow, admittedly he states he was drunk and very sorry.

I always blame Taco Bell for my gas problems

Who didn't see this coming just as winter approaches?

This attack has the fingerprints of the Swiss Navy all over it LOL 😂

[frankcherry]

Well! This is a new one. I thought they would blame Biden

[amc]

That pipeline is leaking like the home office

[bramzwaan]

I see the Scottish made Nessie useful for once

[ongman]

From the Russian defense ministry. Same group that said Ukraine was a cake walk. I'm going to pass on that assessment. Lol.

There's a British navy guy on a boat right now saying "tf did we do?"

[GalootWrangler]

“Russia’s defence ministry cited an intercept from Admiral Nelson, who admitted participation ‘while turning a blind eye.’”

[kjp]

Putin would blame someone else for farting in his own spacesuit.

That's the first imaginative thing Russia has done since last February.
