Thanks to an open threat issued by President Biden, the question must be asked: is the United States behind the two explosions that caused a massive natural gas leak into the Baltic Sea? The incident has cut off Russia's ability to deliver methane gas to Germany and other European nations.
The release of methane into the water and atmosphere is killing marine life and delivering a greenhouse gas pollutant into the atmosphere that would be gravely feared by believers in man-made global warming. The word "eco-terrorism" comes to mind the describe the act of sabotage, if that's what the explosions were.
Powerful voices are blaming Russia. According to the Washington Post, which frequently serves as an outlet for the Intelligence Community:
Five European officials with direct knowledge of security discussions said there was a widespread assumption that Russia was behind the incident. Only Russia had the motivation, the submersible equipment and the capability, several of them said, though they cautioned that they did not yet have direct evidence of Russia's involvement.
"No one on the European side of the ocean is thinking this is anything other than Russian sabotage," said a senior European environmental official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal thinking about the leak.
One official said it might have been a message to NATO: "We are close." Another said that it could be a threat to other, non-Russian energy infrastructure, since so many pipelines crisscross the Baltic Sea, including the one inaugurated Tuesday. A third noted that crucial internet data cables lie along the bottom of the sea, and there have been long-standing concerns that Russia has a submersible program that could cut them, causing communications chaos around the world.

Explosions Destroy Nord Stream Pipelines
Sept. 27 (EIRNS)—Monday night, Sept. 26, first the submarine gas pipeline from Russia to Germany Nord Stream 2, and then Nord Stream were destroyed by explosions. Today, Radek Sikorski, the former Foreign Minister of Poland and current Member of the European Parliament, tweeted a photo of the Baltic Sea above the area of the destroyed pipelines, with the text “Thank you, U.S.A.” By way of explaining his meaning, Sikorski then retweeted a video of Joe Biden at a Feb. 7 press conference on Feb. 7: “If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine, then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” A reporter asked: “How will you do that exactly, since the project is under Germany’s control?” Biden responded grinning smugly: “I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”
Sikorski is married to American neocon Anne Applebaum, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and board member of the National Endowment for Democracy.
The terrorist attack on the pipelines significantly reduces the potential for German-Russian rapprochement and has made Poland one of the most pivotal energy hubs for Europe.
The Anglo-American masters of NATO stand to “gain” the most (in their way of thinking).
This summer’s BALTOPS exercises were reported in June in Seapower magazine to have involved “unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology.” These operations were conducted in the area of the current explosions of the Nord Stream pipelines. “Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark,” reports Seapower, “with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring.”
Everything they do is projection.
“Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”
“And son of a bitch! It blew up!”
Denmark, just outside its territorial waters at the island of Bornholm.
He’s also the guy who left $85,000,000,000 of materiel behind in Afghanistan, not to mention US citizens.
“The most amazing thing is how slow are the Europeans to realize that the goal is to destroy them”.
They also want to destroy the USA. But they need the USA to help destroy the Europeans. Once that’s accomplished, it’s the USA’s turn.
My apologies. I got you confused with someone else.
I’m struggling to come up with any serious reason the Putin administration would destroy the pipeline. The only Russian angles that make any sense are all anti-Putin:
1) A cabal wants to hamstring Putin’s leverage and income, show him as someone who can’t protect Russian assets, etc.
2) A cabal wants to force Putin into an even harder position on Ukraine to prevent negotiations.
Far-fetched option 3) the Chinese did it to gain even more leverage over Russia; and, or push Russia and the US into a nuclear war, destroying each other and leaving China in the catbird’s seat. Arguments against this: the US market is where China gets much of its earnings and steals technology, China holds enormous amounts of US debt, and China owns massive amounds of US assets. But extending the war plays into China’s hands.
Since the pipeline benefits Russia and Germany, and Poland has a new gas pipeland from Norway, Poland would seem to benefit from blowing up Nordstream.
Brandon the Economic Destroyer is driven by ego to vocalize whatever he is thinking. He hates fossil fuels. He said he’d “end” the pipeline. Guilty on some level.
Good grief.
🙃
LOL!
It was successful if I got your loving attention!
Hugs!
Dunno, can’t answer that.
Trade you a couple sabotaged pipelines against an Afghanistan deal just inked with Russia.

If Bidog ordered this, he needs to be tried and executed along with everyone who was involved with the development and implementation of the plan.
Of course not; that would be too obvious. But in her January 27 briefing, Nuland said “If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” And remember the notorious phonecall (or was it an email?) in which she blurted “Fuck the E.U.”
And against both russia AND Germany.
“Can’t, as many have stated, Russia simply turn the valves off?”
They probably did, but the pipeline was full of gas, and it probably will take a while for all of it to leak out.
Agreed. Just think that it’s a leap to suggest that her or Biden seriously considered to blow up the pipeline.
It’s possible that Russia did it blame Biteme, but it more likely the the puppeteers behind Biteme ordered it.🙄
Like the governor from Blazing Saddles.🙄
Does the Ukraine even have the ability to do that.🤔
