As Ed pointed out yesterday, there were indications from Danish and Swedish authorities that the leaks from the Nord Stream pipelines were the result of explosions, i.e. deliberate sabotage not accidents. All eyes immediately turned to Russia who has been playing games with gas deliveries through the pipelines for months. The NY Times created this graph showing the gas supply over time. As you can see, it took a sudden dip in June and then was up and down until this month when they shut it off indefinitely.

Still, with the gas already cut off, why bother sabotaging the pipelines? The fact that the exact motive was unclear seemed to leave some doubt about who was responsible. But today we’re learning a bit more about why Europe is pointing the finger at Russia.

Russian ships pass through the area on a weekly basis so seeing them in the area prior to the pipeline explosion doesn’t prove a connection. Officially, the US is being more hesitant about assigning blame for this than their European counterparts. National Security adviser Jake Sullivan did refer to the leaks as “apparent sabotage” but beyond that US officials aren’t committing themselves publicly.

More source issues?
Utterly hilarious you *itching about sources and yet, steadily pulling sh*t from the West/UK/US/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media.
Stuck on stupid, yes?
Lies from CNN
Well yeah, it’s kinda easy to figure out, what with the confessions before the fact made publicly and independently by Vlad, Soigu, and Zakharova that they had every intent, motive and plan to blow up the pipelines if someone did something they didn’t like.
Oh wait...
Even after all the lies of the past 6 years, it blows my mind what people will believe.
“But CNN told me they saw russian subs in the area.......”
Delusional. Your hero Biden said in Feb of this year that Nordstream 2 would be taken out if Russia invaded the Ukraine.
yeah, makes total sense to me that russia would destroy their main bargaining chip.
Why blow up their own pipelines when they can just cut off the fuel? As a last, desperate act of an autocrat maybe I can see the angle but he doesn’t seem to be in such dire straits at the moment.
I still suspect that some party who thought that this coming winter without enough gas might fracture the alliance against Russia. For example if Germany doesn’t have enough to heat homes and power industry they might bolt or face public pressure. So blasting holes in the pipleline gives them no reason to weaken their stance.
How’d they spot a submarine?

Germany is getting NG through the Russian lines going through..........Ukraine and Poland. At a higher cost, since both countries charge a fee.

They had already cut off the fuel. Line has been closed (but left pressurized) since June.
From the people who gave us the Ghost of Kiev and keep on keeping on.
That’s not evidence. Idiot. Your post gave me hope there was evidence one way or the other. Again, idiot.
Subs can be seen from the air, especially big Russian ones, and by satellite. Just ask any Navy ASW guy.
the easiest way would be to run a PIG thur it wi a charge attached...
The Norway-Polish pipeline only has a capacity of roughly 10bcm
NS1 = 55bcm
NS2 = 50-55bcm
Good luck.
