I don't have the time to translate the entire thing, but here's the gist of it (all transliterations of Ukrainian names spelled as in the article):

• The article blames the attack exclusively on a team of 14 Ukrainian operatives (some of them with strong CIA links), led by Roman Tscherwinsky, who is currently under house arrest in the Ukraine due to botching the extradition of a Russian defector. Another named suspect is former head of Ukrainian military intelligence Wassyl Burba. The highest ranking Ukrainian guy who is at least partially blamed is former general Walerij Saluschny.

• The article admits that the CIA and Swedish and Dutch intelligence knew about the plans, but states that they were against it and warned Germany. The German intelligence agency BND is said to have not taken the warning seriously, and to not have informed other security organs in Germany (which is politically expedient, the BND can fuck up as much as they want to and never faces actual consequences for anything). Selenskij is also let off the hook and supposedly opposed the plan.

• Financing of the operation was apparently done by one unnamed Ukrainian entrepreneur who donated 300,000 €, additional costs supposedly covered by the operatives themselves, who are said to have worked pro bono.

• All government officials who are still in active duty and are blamed in the article are Polish, the accusations are about not extraditing a suspect living in Poland at the time and instead warning him to enable his escape to Ukraine (this is also politically expedient, as it allows Germany to put pressure on Poland).

• The technical part exclusively backs up the earlier chartered sailboat stories. I've always had my doubts about the technical side of the operation, given that a water depth of 80m is deep-sea diving and idk if 40 minutes for the ascend are enough time for decompression - from what little i know about deep sea diving, at that water depth a decompression chamber would be necessary, but that's just me talking as a layperson. I also have no idea how feasible it is to unload the needed explosives (which were supposedly hidden in fake oxygen bottles) without a crane, using just manual labor and the foldable diving platform on a mid-sized sailboat. The type of explosive isn't specified, btw. Apparently it took the team several days and multiple dives on each day to place all the charges.

• The political spin is "well yes this is serious and diplomatically dicy, but it could be argued that German critical infrastructure was a legitimate military target, so this wasn't terrorism. Oh, and Nordstream 2 was mostly financed by Russia anyway."

All in all this version of events would work well as an ass-covering for most factions involved. Whether the CIA actually opposed this plot or not is something we'll only find out 30 years from now when they declassify the files.

Eating redditors can't be healthy

Unlike our constitution, our anti-discrimination law actually protects queer people, but the burden of proof that you've been discriminated is high enough to be useless most of the time and the damn thing isn't even applicable when you've been discriminated by government institutions.

Apparently they had some kind of alpha men being bros event going where they would hike dangerous trails to connect with their manly man energy as a group-building exercise. And ofc they picked a place for that that wasn't just Hitler's favorite mountain, but that is a hotspot for all kinds of cults and the more problematic elements of the new age scene. Like, we're talking about people who believe that Barbarossa sleeps under the mountain and will one day awake and come out with his army to save Germany, or who are holding rituals to summon nazi UFOs and shit like that.

Especially because Mystique in the movies had such a strong anti-assimilationist energy. Answering the question why she doesn't always look like a human with "because it shouldn't be necessary", having a literal shapeshifter refuse to obey passing dictates is fucking powerful for me as a trans woman.

Really? I've regularly seen English translations on here where he's called that.

At least put a CW for transphobia and deadnaming on that, pls.

Honestly i wouldn't share this at all, it's not unintentionally funny like the cockmilking stuff, it says nothing new about that shithead or Musk's trans-persecutory moderation guidelines, it just increases the reach of a targetted harassment campaign against a highly visible trans person.

yeah that's probably for the better. idk, i knew this mod has Dune-sized brainworms, she's called me out for "internalized transphobia" in the past for quoting Leslie Feinberg. She's a total bellend, an absolute dingdong, a neverending wellspring of bad takes. This wasn't our first discussion about communism vs her liberal carricature of anarchism, and she seriously told me last time that tankies want to put her up against the wall. That person just can't be trusted, yet she's the most active mod on one of Germany's biggest trans servers, and by far the biggest one that does not tolerate chasers, transmeds and similar scum. It fucking hurts to have the door to that slammed in your face like this.

I don't hate philosophy tube etc to be clear

Then you should probably edit that you've misgendered her in that same sentence. Fucking gross, and it hurts doubly when it's coming from another trans woman.

slightly

The only people he's ever been hornier for than Trump are AOC, Greta Thunberg and

It's a liberal, militantly anticommunist subreddit full of V*ushites. ofc, the overlap with that fandom also means they contain a sizeable amount of users who are the exact same kind of transmysogynyst chaser fake ally as their favorite streamer. They used to have "favorite trans porn" threads on their frontpage and shit like that. While that's not been a thing in a while, they're still latently transmysogynist. I got bullied off there for pushing back against their idea that online trans culture is cringe because of catgirl memes, they really can't handle anything trans that's less cisnormativity-compatible than ContraPoints.
