Coons: Nord Stream pipeline leaks likely ‘an act by Russia’
The Hill via Yahoo News ^

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines were likely “an act by Russia” to place economic pressure on European allies of Ukraine.

European leaders have said leaks that have happened on Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, two pipelines that carry natural gas under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany and supply Europe, may represent acts of intentional sabotage by Russia to punish Europe’s support of Ukraine.

“We’ve seen over and over [Russian President] Vladimir Putin use energy as a weapon against the West to try and undermine NATO’s unity in the face of his brutal invasion of Ukraine,” Coons said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that “deliberate actions” caused the leaks after seismologists detected explosions before the leaks began.

Coons said turning off the West’s access to Russia’s supply of natural gas is Putin’s only chance of weakening NATO’s resolve to support Ukraine, but strong bipartisan support remains in Congress to continue the aid.

Biden administration officials spoke to Danish officials on Tuesday on the “apparent sabotage” of the natural gas pipelines. U.S. officials have so far declined to speculate what could be causing the leaks.

Why would Russia sabotage them when they can simply shut them off? Doesn’t pass the smell test.

Yes, and also according to CoonsIdiot, the Russians were shelling themselves in a nuclear power facility.

What’s new? /s

Didn't the USS Kearsarge transverse that part of the North Sea several months ago? That ship could easily hide a US Navy SEAL team that may have placed the mines around the pipelines.

Have you noticed that those half dozen shills are notably absent from this thread so far? They are probably waiting for their talking points from the Biden regime.

Ain’t buying it...
All they have to do is close the valve at their end.

Blaming this on the Russians makes no sense. And there’s a very good chance they’ll declare this an Act of War because, well, it is an Act of War. If they can prove that the US or NATO was involved the **** will really hit the fan.

This whole thing is stupid. Putin was stupid for invading and we were stupid for getting involved. There’s more than enough stupid to go around here.

There are no “good guys” here and that includes us.

The Russians can just turn a valve at their end to shut off the gas.
They have no need to blow it up as Biden stated he could do PRIOR to the Russians invading Ukraine.

I say democrat party sabotage behind this.

Pres. Biden: “If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany’s control?”

Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.” http://abcn.ws/3B5SScx

All the Russkies had to do was turn off the valves. Why would they blow it up? My guess is Mossad. To get back at Putin for supporting Assad and the mullahs. To get back at EU for its pro Palestinian stance. And to raise the price of natural gas high enough that the Israelis can turn their supply into LNG and still make a tidy progit selling to Europe. All the while let fingers point at Biden
