I don’t think there is ANY way that Poland would blow up Russia’s pipe lines without explicit instructions from the U.S. Poland doesn’t get to make NATO foreign policy. The repercussions of this could be enormous for us...definitely an escalation.
Poland may have done this, but only directed as a covert action to provide plausible deniability for our government. Remember der spiegel said that our CIA (not Poland’s intelligence service) warned Berlin 2 weeks ago about possible attacks on gas pipelines.
Germany and Poland have been at each other’s throats recently. If Poland did this even at our direction it is bound to increase tensions.
I think we own this 100%.
If the smart Yalie neocon kids didn't order this - then they didn't think of this eventuality.
And since it's their screwing around that made this possible, they STILL own it.
It actually doesn't matter who did it - just the fact that no natgas can come from Russia no matter what.
