On September 27, two explosions severely damaged Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines near the Danish island of Bornholm, setting off wild speculation about possible sabotage.
Another two breaks in the pipeline, a tad to the north in Sweden’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), were later identified but no explosions were reported. According to news sources citing Danish officials, each explosion was equivalent to 500 kilograms of TNT, the size of very large anti-shipping mines.
Not only the US Navy (together with its NATO allies) but also the Russian Navy conduct naval exercises in the Baltic Sea and many believe either the Russians or Americans are clandestinely responsible for the two blasts. Predictably enough, the two sides have blamed each other in loud and emphatic terms – without corroborating or credible evidence.
Unmentioned amid the incendiary speculation is the explosive condition of the Baltic seabed, which is loaded with dumped artillery shells, chemical weapons including Tabun nerve gas and mines. Under an agreement reached at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, Britain and the Soviet Union dumped approximately 69,000 tons of Germany’s chemical weapons stockpile into the Baltic Sea in 1947-48.
A second dumping in the same area took place in 1959. Moreover, during World War I and II, Germany laid some 80,000 sea mines including moored contact mines and constructor mines in the Baltic Sea, including around Bornholm. There are known to be Russian moored contact mines in the same area.
This is the strangest theory about the Nord Stream pipeline explosions that I've come across.
On the other hand, there is some interesting information about the WW II munitions littering the Baltic Sea floor.
No. Next...
Aliens for sure.
So, basically, let’s blame Hitler.
No.
I appears that the paramilitary op was a stunning success.
Radical left wing eco-terrorists.
That’s a bit like 2 airliners flying into the Wold Trade Center towers and believing BOTH crashes were accidental.
It wasn’t military action, past or present.
It was caused by a lack of maintenance. Methane hydrates built up, they tried to clear the pipes and they ruptured.
Do a google search for Lawdog Files: On the NordStream incident… ever heard of Methane Hydrates?
Applying Occam’s razor this is the simplest explanation.
Any competent petroleum engineer will back up the article.
Anything else is a lie not really meant to deceive. A loyalty test lie.
Methane is already a hydrate.
Another ridiculous excuse that nobody is buying. I’ve seen YouTube videos saying there’s already anti-US protests happening in Germany, they aren’t stupid and know what’s going on. These reckless and incompetent Neocons are causing anti-US hatred across the world with their actions.
“ Please. Biden announced the attack beforehand in a public speech.
Anything else is a lie not really meant to deceive. A loyalty test lie. “
If Biden told me the sun rose in the East I’d get a compass and check it.
“Military accident.” 😂
Ol’ Diapers did it.

“Were Nord Stream explosions really a military accident?”
Sure...just like TWA 800.
And Biden even SCREWED THAT UP. It will be repaired.
Anyone know what a “constructor mine” is? I searched but didn’t find anything.
And the twin towers were designed to take an airliner hit yet these aluminum airliners punched right through. That was some tough aluminum. I followed John Lear on these attacks.
Its filled up with sea water...good luck putting it back into operation.....also some breakage needs fixing....48 inch diameter pipe with cement and rebar casing.
These munitions weren’t triggered once PUTTING the pipes in.
Suddenly, they happen in multiple areas of the pipes, and nowhere else?
Not a chance. This is crazy talk.
