As I saw MacFarland explain it, the pipeline was to be closed and offered a perfect chance for Putin to blame the US. And we see his propaganda team all over blaming the US. She made good points.
But I don’t think Biden has the nuts to do it.
Trump would and own up to it!

This is the kind of “national security” thing that gets buried for 50+ years.

See “Ultra”.

One scenario suspects that the U.S. reconsidered their threat to eliminate Nordstream as Biden and Nuland professed.

To do so puts any and all European countries in dire straits this winter, alienating any allies remaining there, and further damages a clean energy religion and simultaneously reignites fossil fuel production-—the latter perhaps a greater dread than saving peoples lives.

The foreign policy of The United States is not carried out to benefits the people of The United States.

It is carried out to benefit gangsters.

This makes it impossible to logically examine only nations to see which nation would have benefited from this sabotage.

We must look at which gangster mobs OR nations may have benefited from this sabotage.

If I was a bettin’ man, I’d put money on EU leaders having it sabotaged. They’re the ones trying to control their masses with the warmageddon cult policies. Russia cutting off natural gas was making the Euro masses restless and calling for leadership changes. Sabotaging the pipeline allows the EU leaders to say, “See. Even if all foreign policy is smooth the fossil fuel infrastructure can’t supply our needs.”

I don’t think it will ever be proven. Both sides will offer evidence of “proof” that the other side did it. This is a propaganda war on all sides.

One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned is the possibility that the “Bombs” could have been in place for 6 months or more. WHY does everyone think that this sabotage was the result of a last minute recent development? All ship traffic back to Jan 2022 is technically suspect.

First off, NATO already knows that it was US.   The Scandinavian countries on the Baltic Sea were the first to blow the whistle as they watched it happen.

Second, it will play right into the hands of those Global Elites who want to crush American Hegemony and destroy the Dollar as the world's trading currency, to enable them to create their One World Government.

Biden is in office just to do that, and a lividly furious EU in the freezing winter will drive a wedge right through NATO, the EU and American Foreign Relations with the rest of the world.

Here is the Motive

First, the US became the number one exporter of liquified natural gas to Europe once Russia cut off the flow. German dependence on US LNG is a carrot to keep German in the sanction alliance. With winter approaching and German unrest on the rise, the State Department would have been concerned the Germans would go wobbly, reduce sanctions, cut off arms to Ukraine, and beg Putin for energy. The loss of the Nord Stream pipelines eliminates that path to renewed gas imports to Germany.

Second, the Biden family has long been tangled up in natural gas and Ukraine. Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukraine’s largest natural gas company—a position that provided Ukrainian oligarchs with access to Joe Biden. Hunter, who has no experience in energy, made millions from the deal, and Ukraine got a bought-and-paid-for President of the United States.

Third, the Democrat Biden needs to stanch the popularity bleeding that threatens to kill Democrat control of Congress come November.

So, only the United States has a compelling reason to destroy Europe’s energy lifeline from Russia. Only the United States has both the means and the motive.

And here is the Means

Operation BALTOPS

Seapower magazine—the official magazine of the Navy League—reported in June on a US exercise in the Baltic Sea, directly over the spots where two massive, undersea explosions took out the Nord Stream pipeline.

An additional critical objective was to continue to increase the communication range and data transfer capability to give the operators more flexibility in mine hunting operations. Advancements in communication technology, demonstrated this year, have shown a significant improvement in operating ranges over currently used systems. This provides additional standoff flexibility to the U.S. Navy in conducting safe mine hunting operations.

When the US Navy finds mines that it is hunting for, what do they do?   They blow them up,   just like two undersea pipelines that they found in the Baltic Sea.

Frankly, the German government should not be excluded from the line up. This winter, throngs of freezing Germans were going to hold them accountable for years of terrible energy policy and decision-making.

Now they can more easily deflect responsibility and point the finger at Bad Vlad, making him the Emmanuel Goldstein scapegoat for their nation's ills.

How are they going to ‘prove’ it? Fragments?

Russian military explosives are prolific: Any player can acquire them. Many US explosives are as well.

‘Prove?’ Yeah, right. /s

More like ‘feed a predetermined narrative’...

But why did K.T. never mention Biden’s boastful speech on destroying the pipeline? Is she conveniently ignoring it? I don’t think the world is ignoring it or even the NATO partners.

You’re describing the M.O of a 3rd world nation.
