“I wish they were aliens, but they’re not.” Edward Snowden, the former employee of the US National Security Agency, wrote this on Twitter.
Thus he commented on the situation with the downed balloons and unidentified flying objects in the USA and Canada.
In his opinion, the panic was deliberately caused in order to divert attention from what happened with “Nord Stream”.
We recall that last week the North American Joint Aerospace Defense Command registered three “unidentified objects”, two of which were shot down by the US military in national airspace and another over Canadian territory.
Trudeau sees a connection in the downed aerial objects over the US and Canada
But at this stage he is not giving details
It was noted that all three objects are much smaller than the Chinese balloon, located at a lower altitude altitude and outwardly they do not resemble him.
The last of them was destroyed on February 12 over Lake Huron on the border between the United States and Canada, and its remains likely fell in Canadian territorial waters.
Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said on February 2 that US officials had spotted an “intelligence bubble” over the mainland.
Lavrov heard a confession from the US that their services blew up Nord Stream
The US has decided that over the past 20-30 years Russia has cooperated too well with Germany.
He was taken down on February 4 by the US military off the coast of South Carolina in US airspace.
We recall that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he sees a connection between the balloons, but did not give details.
US officials have essentially admitted in their statements that the Nord Stream explosions were their doing and are happy to talk about it. This is what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said a few days ago.
On September 27, it was reported “unprecedented destruction” that occurred the previous day “on three strings of the offshore gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2”. Swedish seismologists registered two explosions on September 26 along the pipeline routes. The Swedish Prosecutor’s Office On November 18, it announced that the explosions of gas pipelines are sabotage The General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation has initiated a case for an act of international terrorism.
Other countries have also launched investigations into the case.
Edward Snowden was sworn in and received a Russian passport at the end of last year.
Snowden’s US passport was revoked in 2013. However, at the time the White House explained that this was a routine legal procedure following the issuance of an arrest warrant and his citizenship status remained unchanged.
At the end of September, a decree was issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to which Snowden has the right to receive Russian citizenship.
In 2013, Snowden disclosed information about the electronic eavesdropping methods of the US intelligence services, including the illegal wiretapping of the conversations of foreign leaders.
On August 1, 2014, he received permission to stay in Russia for three years, and was subsequently granted permanent residence in the country.
Snowden is facing two charges in the US for violating the Espionage Act. He could get up to 10 years on each charge. Washington has repeatedly declared that Snowden is a “traitor” and that he will not be pardoned because he has caused enormous damage to US national security.
