The explosions suspended gas supply to Georgia and Armenia, at a time when the weather conditions were particularly severe. Because the explosion coincided with a sabotage on electricity lines miles away from the pipeline, the Georgian authorities claimed the explosions were a deliberate act of sabotage to force the nation into surrendering its pipelines to the Russian state-owned monopoly Gazprom.

I notice everything over there,, and I mean EVERYTHING has a lot of people “claiming” that what happened really means X.
The fact is, that in Euro/Russo energy games, there are so many players, so many corrupt governments and companies, and so much organized crime,,, that it’s meaningless to opine who probably did what without fairly conclusive evidence.

Explosion, was it mob? Was it someone who didn’t get to bid for the pipeline work, or for the gas to go into the line? Was it the owner of one pipeline taking out the opponents pipeline? Was it EU sponsored agitators working to start a color revolution, was it moslems? Or was it just a worn out and poorly maintained infrastructure experiencing entropy?
Was it Putin? Was it someone who opposes Putin and wants to frame him to try to take him down?

Conjecture over there is very sure to be wrong.
