The Nordstream pipelines have sprung some leaks and it appears to be sabotage.
“We have established a report and the crime classification is gross sabotage,” a Swedish national police spokesperson said.The ruptures are releasing massive amounts of methane - the single largest amount released ever recorded. Let's note what's being said about the environmental impact:Seismic monitoring stations in Sweden, Finland and Norway recorded two explosions Monday near the Danish island of Bornholm, the largest of which registered a 2.3 on the Richter scale.
“There’s no doubt this is not an earthquake,” said Bjorn Lund, director of the Swedish National Seismic Network.
Planet-heating methane spewing into the atmosphere from the damaged Nord Stream pipelines only has a modest impact on climate change, say scientists, but sharply highlights the risks of fossil-fuel-driven greenhouse gas emissions.Hmmm.
Newsweek is calling this a loss for Putin, but that seems short-sighted. Russia has a very large deal with China to sell oil and natural gas.
If this is a case of sabotage, there are two suspects: Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden. Putin might want to choke Western nations over politics, but all he had to do was shut off the spigot.
There is someone else who really has motivation to sabotage the pipeline. That someone promised to end fossil fuels. That someone shut off oil pipelines to the US. That someone shut off oil drilling leases.
That someone promised to end the Nordstream pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine.
U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday warned that if Russia invades Ukraine, there would be no Nord Stream 2, but did not specify how he would go about ensuring the controversial pipeline would not be used.That someone is a demented senile old man who talks to dead people.Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden said, “If Russia invades… again, then there will be longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
When asked how he would do that, he responded, “I promise you we will be able to do it.”

But the line was supposed to be empty, An empty line although broken does not expel gas like this broken line does.
Brandon can’t shut down the toilet seat. Who are pulling his strings?
He did outright threaten to do it. 🤷🏻♀️
“But the line was supposed to be empty, An empty line although broken does not expel gas like this broken line does.”
Who said the line was empty? No one. And I mean NO ONE. On the contrary, EVERYONE agreed the line was NOT empty.
Now produce some proof to back up your conjecture.
Not to mock you here just making the point to wait on evidence.
You’re hopeless.
Have you read all my posts on this thread? Gone to the links if you’re unsure?
You’re right. It was 4 simultaneous unobserved asteroids/”accidents”.
I’m sorry but even if it were four deliberate explosions it still needs to be determined if the explosions were from inside the pipeline or outside.
But if you’re ready to go to war over it then go right ahead.
A long time ago someone told me to never attribute to malice that which can easily be attributed to stupidity. I’m just saying I’m content to wait on more substantial evidence than the usual partisan accusations being tossed around right now.

“BALTOPS 22: A Perfect Opportunity for Research and Testing New Technology”
[In my olden days, this was known as “Cover For Action.”]
BALTIC SEA — A significant focus of BALTOPS every year is the demonstration of NATO mine hunting capabilities, and this year the U.S. Navy continues to use the exercise as an opportunity to test emerging technology, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa Public Affairs said June 14.
In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.
Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68.
BALTOPS is an ideal location for conducting mine hunting experimentation due to the region’s unique environmental conductions such as low salinity and varying bottom types. It is also critical to evaluate emerging mine hunting UUV technology in the Baltic due to its applicability with allied and partner nations. This year experimentation was focused on UUV navigation, teaming operations, and improvements in acoustic communications all while collecting critical environmental data sets to advance the automatic target recognition algorithms for mine detection.
“In prior BALTOPS we demonstrated advanced capabilities to detect, reacquire and collect images of mine contacts, and transfer those images in near real-time to operators through the use of a specialized Office of Naval Research UUV,” said Anthony Constable, Office of Naval Research science advisor to U.S. 6th Fleet. “This year, through the work of NIWC Pacific and NUWC Newport, we are showing that this capability can be integrated into programs of record by executing complex multi-vehicle UUV missions with modified U.S. Navy fleet assets.”

BALTOPS 50 Site For Experimental Mine Hunting Equipment
12 June 2021
PUTLOS, Germany - Exercise Baltic Operations (BALTOPS), the premier maritime-focused exercise in the Baltic region, has been underway since June 6, 2021.
For the first time this annual exercise, explosive ordnance and mine countermeasure units from the Navy and the Marine Corps integrated into a NATO multi-national exercise using cutting- edge technology and experimental equipment to increase the effectiveness of mine countermeasure.
[I can’t wait to see the results of the “investigation” of the NS1 & 2 pipeline sabotage operations. IMHO, the same folks who were tasked to perform the sabotage will be tasked with the investigation.
Read the info at the link and watch the embedded video. The new term for an untethered ROV is UUV, Underwater Unmanned Vehicle. Instead of finding war mines, they can find a well-charted pipeline a lot easier, and be modified to blow it up. Just spitballing, but I believe these are the tracks to investigate.
Kind of like the way DOJ "investigates" itself and tells us coddling Hillary but raiding Trump and his associates is not inconsistent.
The USA isn't fighting here.
And Russia is 100% occupied with Ukraine
This "fight" was started by Putin's Russia
