WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that it would be "in no-one's interest" if attacks or acts of sabotage caused gas leaks detected in the Nord Stream gas pipelines amid an energy standoff between Europe and Russia over gas supplies.

Both Moscow and Western European capitals have expressed concern over the multiple leaks spewing gas into the sea, which occurred as Russia has slashed gas deliveries to Europe after the West imposed sanctions over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

"There are initial reports indicating that this may be the result of an attack or some kind of sabotage, but these are initial reports and we haven’t confirmed that yet," Blinken said at a press conference alongside India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. "But if it is confirmed, that’s clearly in no one’s interest."

Hey Winkey, somebody clearly thought it was in THEIR interests. Your job is to find out who they are, if you don’t already know.

Biden arrogantly put his fingerprints all over it in a blatant press briefing.

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

Blinken IS dumb.

Remember the deer in the headlights look during the Afghanistan disaster? The guy is in over his head.

Maybe Mr. Winkin’ Blinken knows something we don’t.

It would be a most fortuitous way to bring about the “Great Reset”, which also involves a huge depopulation of the earth.

Russia finds out it may have been done by some frogmen sent in, by a “third party” nation, and they fly into a blind rage, using all the “first strike” capability they have, resulting in a total global nuclear war, with the radioactivity and devastation succeeding in reducing the human population of the planet to some 5% of its current level.

Mission accomplished.

Then the odds are, he was lying.

Speaking at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Biden said, "If Russia invades... again, then there will no longer be Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

When asked how he would do that, he responded, "I promise you we will be able to do it."

...except for Biden saying exactly that he would make sure the pipeline was shut down.

Funny how people around the world are pointing the finger at the American government even after they already declared it was the Russians.

The US government has already shown us the proof, oh wait, they haven’t but that doesn’t matter. They wouldn’t lie, would they?

Not even our three enthusiastic globalist posters buy what the far left is saying about Nordstream.
