The rail track was "blown up"!!! Yet the loose gravel below the rail was completely intact. The remaining ends of the damaged rail look like a stress crack in substandard steel..

These people must think we are as stupid as they are.

As just written in my latest note:

=======

Poland's got another Russian sabotage story for us.

This time it's rail infrastructure. Take a look at the damage. Does that look like sabotage to you? Because it looks like metal fatigue or a brittle stress fracture to me. The kind that happens when infrastructure maintenance budgets get redirected to... other priorities.

But sure, Russia did it.

The perpetrators allegedly fled to Belarus "immediately" - meaning nobody's been caught, nobody's been questioned, but Warsaw already knows exactly who ordered the operation.

Convenient.

Especially convenient timing too. Right when Poland needs to justify increased defense spending. Right when Ukraine needs more NATO support. Right when those mysterious drones nobody could intercept are still fresh in everyone's memory (https://no01.substack.com/p/the-drone-incursion?r=17w5dj).

If Russia actually wanted to disrupt NATO supply lines flowing weapons into Ukraine -which in my opinion they are very much entitled to, they'd do it properly. The GRU would not leave calling cards. They would not botch operations this badly.

Unless of course this is exactly what Poland's security services want you to think after realizing they can't walk back the initial false report without admitting incompetence or worse.

Polish authorities have a credibility problem. And it's getting worse every time they cry wolf.
