Did the US (or its agents) blow up the Nordstream pipelines? Thanks to an open threat issued by President Biden, the question must be asked

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.

It cost Russia $20 billion to build the pipeline. They controlled the operation of it. It was a 10+ year cooperative project with Germany. It was the key political and energy leverage Russia was dangling before Germany. A mere 10 days ago, Putin told Germany publicly: “lift your self-imposed sanctions, and we will have all the gas you need.”

And now the propagandists of the West want us to believe Russia itself blew it up???

The USS Kearsarge was in the area of the leaks at the time a Norwegian seismic monitoring station picked up the explosion(s) with its AIS tracking system switched off.

I have zero doubt, Biden and his globalist misfits are directly responsible.

The EU/NATO will be doing the “investigation”. Rest assured that evidence will be found indicating Russian guilt.

Why now? They knew that Russia won the referendums and Germany was starting to go wobbly. Now the Germans have no choice but to stay the course.

Yes, indeed, just as I called yesterday long before the Western/UK/US/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media and peddlers asserted the obvious: Russia! Russia! Russia!

“Massive drop in pressure – Nord Stream 2 pipeline apparently partially destroyed”

Have no doubt that Russia will be proclaimed by the West and Western media as the guilty party for the damage, etc., etc., etc.

You may have put your finger on it. The greenie radicals in the Administration would happily trigger WW3 in hopes that it would further their population reduction agenda.

Maybe they have so perfected their cheating methods that they no longer need the Clinton Archipelago voters anymore. Those big blue cities are likely the only targets the Russians can hit.
