Biden lets 8-10 million in from everywhere. Terrorists brag on video right at the border. Biden is about to attack Iran and is pussyfooting around with Palestinians.

And suddenly one night... a gas pipeline explodes.

Another theory, payback for Nordstream? Or a boast made good by some mad mo?

from the article: "Crews are staged a "safe distance" away until the gas can be turned off."

I'm not seeing this as a major disaster.
Corrective actions include: turn off the gas and wait for fire to cool down, repairs on the pipeline to begin as soon as the fires are put out.
No reports of injuries or other damage.

As to the cause, I'd wait for evidence for criminal or terrorist acts before making any such claims.

I was reading on “X” where that guy looks like some top terrorist from Iran.

Biden DID say he was going to stop Texas from exporting gas.

Reminds me of a family of wetbacks living in a trailer home in west Texas back in the 80s.
They were trying to drill for a water well when they hit a gas pipe. Crisped the whole area.

“And suddenly one night... a gas pipeline explodes.”

Biden told us that trains were safer than pipelines...

(A BILLIONAIRE’S trains).

Pipelines don’t explode. They rupture due to other causes. The GAS explodes after it leaks.

Midstream companies fight corrosion constantly.
Many gathering systems are over 25 years old and repaired on a patchwork basis.
They usually stay ahead of major losses but everyone knows that each sunrise brings their system closer to it.

Who needs to call for a locate?

If you hit it and you get wet, it’s water.
If you hit it and you get wet and it smells like a fart, it’s sewer.
If you hit it and it smells like a fart and explodes, it’s gas.
If you hit it and it buzzes and arcs, it’s electric.
If you hit it and nothing happened, it’s communications.

My money is on Russia because Biden blew up their pipeline. The Russians have long memories.

The O’Biden secret ops strikes again.

It is unfortunate that many of the critical components that contribute to our lifestyle are unable to be hardened against an attack. Rest assured that while this was probably a FedGov operation, the terrorists pouring across our borders are paying close attention.

Maybe, but so far, no suspicious industrial or infrastructure damage since February 2022 has been reported as Russian sabotage.

It's not even clear if there's been an increase in such incidents & accidents more than you'd expect from economic recovery after Covid-19 shut-downs.

Plenty of suspicions, but so far no real facts.

Agreed. But it still needs an ignition source.

Russia wanted to reduce German steel output. As a way to convince Germany to lean away from supplying Ukraine, and appreciate the importance of:

- Russia as a trading partner

- fossil fuel exports from Russia

the undersea pipelines were cut.
