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.

I can only imagine the multiple levels of very scary NDAs all participants had to sign.

Next, they will all be transferred individually to various Ice Station Zebras and Radio Outpost Djiboutis.

Within a year, all dead from “cancer” or “diving accidents” etc.

True, like the “Q” and religious caucus threads. My take is that this war is basically a gangland/mafia turf war between Russian thugs and Ukrainian thugs. That’s why neither Ukrainians nor Russians want to fight and die for their “countries” and they’re all trying to evade their drafts.

BIDEN: "If Russia invades Ukraine there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring end to it"

Shoving Putin's nose in it is right.

The U.S. had threatened to disable the pipelines connecting Europe to Russia.

dopey Joe just carried out an act of war against Germany and the rest of the EU.

>Could explain the how, if there was no massive explosion. The line would have had to be shut down to insert the pig.

It is shut from the Germany and the Russian sides, but it was filled with NG. I think the next week you’ll see the Russians come forward with tape that they didn’t open their side, so that leaves the German side or external sabotage.

Wouldn’t take much to make an underwater drone carry a charge with a small explosive as the NG will do the rest. Plus you have to get it just right. There was a British cargo ship over the pipe right before the explosion, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, and Poland’s pipeline is coming on-line today. They’re shoving Putin’s nose in it. Hopefully he doesn’t respond, but I wouldn’t put a bet on the continued existence of the Baltic Pipe.

It's almost as if the ruling class in the U.S. is about to be exposed, and they're doing everything possible to create an epic diversion...Such as a world war.

Would they do that to save their asses if it meant killing a few million people? Bet the rent they would.

Russia blew up their own pipeline, which they need to send gas to Europe and get paid?

Okay, that seems implausible to me.

Coons is a notorious liar. This comments is no exception.

Why would Russia blow up its own pipelines when it could just turn the gas off if it wanted to?

This garbage isn't even believable.

This is the same Coons that said “We Need to Hold Trump Accountable” for the Jan 6 FBI/Democrat false flag. Everything that comes out of his mouth is Biden regime propaganda.

When you ask them when Russia attacked America or NATO, no response. Where in the NATO Charter is this proxy war sanctioned, no response. When did Putin lay claim to any non Donbas Ukrainian area, no response. Well then, why are we there? Russia, Russia, Russia!! It makes me crazy.

did you close them yourself?

If not, how do you know the valves are closed?

If one valve, Russia side, is closed and the other side, is open, would that not relieve any pressure?
