Hanlon’s Razor basically is never attribute to malice what can better be explained by stupidity.
This fellow theorizes that the pipelines ruptured due to shoddy russian maintenance and because of the formation of methane hydrate plugs that developed because the pipelines were filled with natural gas but there was no flow throughput.

Don’t know if it’s a valid argument because I’m not a pipeline engineer. But I think it’s worthy of consideration.
I am thinking I read yesterday that there were 3 breaches (explosions?) at the same time. That seems sort of doubtful it would have been a coincidence, more like a planned event.
[...shoddy russian maintenance...]
That has been my theory; crappy russian pipeline. Just like their crappy nuclear reactor at Chernobyl.
My second theory is that the russians blew it up in an attempt to damage the new Norwegian pipeline that over it.
No it’s not a valid argument, it’s a joke of an excuse. There’s no question that the US was behind the destruction of these pipelines, you’d have to be a fool to believe otherwise.
That would not explain how there were multiple, nearly simultaneous explosions on two separate pipelines. And the pipelines were steel pipe encased in concrete - takes some serious explosive power to rupture that. Plus, John Brennan has already blamed Russia, and he’s always wrong. This IMO was a U.S. action to prolong the war.
True, but it is the stupid (incompetent) that clear the path and facilitate the malicious.
It would seem like Sweden or Denmark could send some submersibles to investigate internal v. external rupture.
