Since Russia cut off NordStream sales, why would this not be a false flag opportunity? They are looking for justifications to bluster against NATO.
On the other side, why would the US or allies cut a currently non-functioning pipeline? Why would Germany cut its own oil/gas supply?
Why would US and allied ASW assets be engaged in the area?
germany is in for some serious economic pain. NS2 has been dangling there as an option for them. the party interested in making sure that option is removed is not russia (who can simply not sell the gas to them).
this seems obvious to me.
>>Why would Germany cut its own oil/gas supply?<<
Ukrainian frogmen perhaps?
