“Polacks are probably behind it. Probably not hard to do either. Drag an anchor across the right spot.”
Sweden detected 2 blasts, so probably just a couple of depth charges.
⚔️⚔️⚔️“Seismologist: Two explosions thundered near Nord Stream”: Swedish media suggest that the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines suffered as a result of deliberate attacks. “The Swedish national seismic network recorded two separate explosions in the area of the gas pipeline accident on Monday. One of them had a magnitude of 2.3, similar to a noticeable earthquake, and was recorded at 30 monitoring stations in southern Sweden. Associate Professor of Seismology and Director of the Swedish National Seismic Network Bjorn Lund: “You can clearly see how the waves are reflected from the bottom to the surface. There is no doubt that it was an explosion.” ⚔️⚔️⚔️
Wonder what the depth there was?
I read 3 blasts. The first was NS2. Then two more on NS1. NS2 was not really online yet so that, alone, could have been a warning shot. But taking out NS1 is much more serious.
Like others I doubt Russia would do it to themselves. They don’t need to. They can just shut the valves without destroying the infrastructure. Any theory could be explored since Germany is such an economic powerhouse in the Eurozone, just about anyone would want to take them down a few pegs.
The problem is the collateral damage lack of energy would do to the populations. So you could run the gamut from left wing environmental terror to oil & gas companies who want to prove a point to any nation state that could benefit. Can Iran export LNG? They have submarines too. They could be pushing to get a nukes for trade deal done quickly.
