Just a couple of thoughts.
— If a Russian attack on a Norwegian (possession) line in Belgian waters had occured, it would go almost without saying as an attack on NATO.
— Russian constructed (possession) NS1 and NS2 are immediately adjacent lines, until the diversion near adjacent/proximal NE of Belgian isle of Bornholm, where all kinds of monthly and recent Russian underwater activity, and gas line “maintenance” involving Russia shutting off Russian gas on NS1, and other NS2 maintenance has been known. Russian naval vessels have been monitored and protested by Denmark and Sweden. Tbe Russian “vettes” are duel purpose naval SOP’s for keeping surface sub hunters out of the area, even while in foreign national waters.

And this —
🇳🇱 “...island of Bornholm.”
There is actually a whole lot more information, both OS and classified.
But even after all that, no one can 100% determine a blast itself was sabotage, or done by who, just because there was a blast.
That is just plain stupid and foolish.
Neither individual bias itself, nor overwhelming consensus determines a fact, truth, or science. 🇺🇸🎚

Perhaps it’s “plain stupid and foolish” and perhaps it’s not. It’s possible that time and assessment of detailed collected information/intelligence will tell. Bombings leave LOTS of information behind. Just ask the Unabomber. The information is sometimes in thousands of pieces. Sometimes it’s explosive residue. Sometimes it’s bits of the bomb imbedded in concrete or metal or scattered in pieces on the seabed. Sometimes it’s the particular way a blast has deformed/damaged the structure target. Sometimes it’s detailed metallurgical forensics to determine unique alloys found in bomb fragments. Etc etc etc….
And THAT is what I’m waiting to see. And I do NOT want it done by our extremely UNTRUSTWORTHY FBI. I want to see it all done by the Swedish, Danish and German forensic scientists. THE TRUTH WILL OUT!
