Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Geronimo]

No.

Using a pig would have been difficult, since most of them are not self-propelled and are limited to moving with the flow. Nord Stream 2 has had no flow since the initial acceptance tests, so it would have meant Russia put in an explosive while the line was still supposed to be put in operation, which would have come out on Germany's end.

I suppose the ones that are self propelled would be used instead?

Most self propelled pigs are tethered, since the power requirements of the ILI tool plus the propulsion method are huge. I guess a bomb with a timer has significantly less power requirements than the tool's sensors and electronics, but the motors are still the biggest power draw. The longest-ranged self propelled tools are all tethered, not autonomous, and 10km is more in line with their range, not 100, let alone 8-900 km.

Let's not forget the two Russian warships that were nearby when this happened. My guess is an unmanned undersea drone attack directed from one of those ships.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I'm indirectly in the industry, and the amount of bull**** that gets thrown around as hare-brained theories is very funny.

I guess it doesn't help when most people's mental image of inspection pigs are two Bond films...

I have to admit that is what I pictured when the discussion of Pigs started

[N35t0r]

It's totally understandable. I knew a tiny bit more coming off uni, but only because we covered pipelines in a small part of one course. It's not the most wide-spread or visual industry, to start with, and pretty much none of it is public-facing.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday that inspectors had unfettered access and found no indication of undeclared nuclear activity and materials at three sites in Ukraine.

IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement that inspectors "completed their in-field verification activities at three locations in Ukraine at the request of the of the government of Ukraine."

The request to send teams of UN inspectors was issued after Russia made allegations that Kyiv was planning to deploy a so-called "dirty bomb" containing radioactive material.

"Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have so far did not show any sign of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at these three locations. Additionally, we will report on the results of the environmental sampling as soon as possible," Grossi said.

Grossi went on to say that the IAEA remained poised to conduct further verification activities in Ukraine if necessary.

Perhaps Serb posts infrequently because he is spending most of his time in the woods.

So EPW can feel better.

Medvedev "I also want to say a few things about Satan"

Nov 4 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday cast Russia's war in Ukraine as a sacred conflict with Satan, warning that Moscow could send all its enemies to the eternal fires of Gehenna.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has killed tens of thousands and triggered the biggest confrontation with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when the Cold War superpowers came closest to nuclear war.

Medvedev, who once cast himself as a liberal moderniser as president from 2008 to 2012, said Moscow was fighting "crazy Nazi drug addicts" in Ukraine backed by Westerners who he said had "saliva running down their chins from degeneracy".

Ukraine and the West have repeatedly dismissed President Vladimir Putin's assertions that Ukraine is run by fascists who have persecuted Russian speakers. Instead, they cast the war as a brutal land grab by Moscow.

In a message marking Russia's Day of National Unity, Medvedev said the task of the fatherland was to "stop the supreme ruler of Hell, whatever name he uses - Satan, Lucifer or Iblis".

Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said Russia had different weapons, including the ability to "send all our enemies to fiery Gehenna", using a Hebrew term often translated as Hell.

Since the war began, Medvedev's rhetoric has become increasingly fierce though his published views sometimes chime with thinking at the top levels of the Kremlin elite.

Satan's weapons, Medvedev said, were "intricate lies. And our weapon is the truth. That is why our cause is right. That is why victory will be ours! Happy Holidays!"
