NBC News’ Tom Costello joins Andrea Mitchell with his exclusive reporting on a potential flashpoint between Russia and the West, after he joined a special NATO team on patrol in the North Sea, surveilling key oil and internet infrastructure. “NATO is on guard on patrol and takes this very seriously,” says Costello. “There is a lot of stress and tension up there because they very much are aware that there is this act of Russian activity right there in the North Sea over their oil and gas pipelines, over the internet lines. They are very worried about it.”

    Tom Costello: NATO suspicious Russia may be mapping Norway’s oil, gas fields

    1. America blew up the gas pipeline – now you are afraid of retaliatory steps?

      Everybody knows, who blew up the gas pipeline – Norway and the United States. Only they have a profit.

      How much did the usa earn? How much has Norway earned?

      Europe, especially Germany – shame on you, you are just slaves of the United States.

      What should the US do to make Europe finally begin to object?

    2. Russia is saber rattling again. Russia had better not mess with the worlds oil and communication lines. That is an act of war.

    3. [4 minute report on a serious geopolitical threat that could lead to direct confrontation between NATO & Russia] Andrea: "Oooooh, the commander's a woman!" Our media just isn't serious.

    4. Let's not forget that last year one of two undersea fiber optic cables connecting mainland Norway with SvalSat (the satellite system in Svalbard) was cut. This is a main link in the world's internet infrastructure. A long chunk of the it was dragged to much deeper water (8,000 feet deep if I remember correctly) and dumped. Nobody knows for sure who was responsible for this, but Russia had a ship (that boasts two submersibles) cruising right over the spot where the cable was severed. Russia has been threatening the West's infrastructure since just after 2014 when they illegally invaded Crimea and the Donbas region of Ukraine.

    5. We should have no doubt that the Russian are behind the Nord Stream Pipeline sabotage.
      Another Poopin false flag operation, pardon the pun, but he wants to gaslight the blame for his own attack onto the west to gin up support for his war against Ukraine. (Did anybody really think some random nazi attacked those schoolchildren last year?) Another false flag operation. Stay vigilant. God bless NATO!
      Pax Americana.
      Semper Paratus

    6. Manifest Destiny was about creating a Nation in our image.
      Liberal Hegemony is about creating a World in our image.
      This is so awesome for the military industrial complex and international banker's with America being in perpetual war since 1941. 18 more years and America can claim an entire century for the military industrial complex and our quest to create a World in our image.

    7. Muscovy will collapse this Fall or sooner. Free Russian partisans will liberate Moscow. Muscovite military invited to join the ⬜🟦⬜ Free Russia Legion.
      Putin & Pals will find themselves at The Hague.

    8. I know this could be a potential for a problem. But why did MSNBC have to interject that a woman commander and or captain is present? no one cares about who’s watching. They care about whats happening. Ugh.

    9. To be fair I can't blame Americans for believing this bs. Most of them don't even know how many stars and stripes are on their national flag and what they represent without doing a Google search first. They aren't very bright. But they do know all 2,000+ gender identity, so there is that.
