Russia-Germany pipelines damaged by 'deliberate actions'



Mysterious leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipe network began with “powerful subsea blasts” and resulted from “deliberate actions”.

The owner, Nord Stream AG, has described the breakages as “unprecedented”, while the Polish prime minister said it was an “act of sabotage.”

Russia has been accused of using gas supply as a weapon, something Russia blames on Western sanctions.

  1. Who knows when their was an actual leak in the pipelines, this sabotage could've been carefully carried out for longer than they've known about it. It just so happens to have burst to the point where they could visibly detect it and notice drastic changes in the gas pipeline throughput.

  2. Russia did it hoping the west and NATO would suspect the USA as the culprit, thus driving a wedge between the Allies. This current US administration has zero balls and is weak. They’d never attempt anything of the sort. It’s the main reason Putin took this war gamble to begin with.

  3. Well, obviously all their virtue signaling about the environment is genuine and of real concern to them… Nope. (Brandon: 'If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.')

  4. This could have been an issue with the pressure built up due to the loss of transfering to the EU, just like all the blunders Russia has done constantly because of their lack of maintenance through corruption in the government. Putler once again has show he is incapable of even getting a root in a brothel let alone conducting the roles of being in charge of such a large country. Just wondering why he is starting to bite of more than he can chew by gaining more land.? History has shown the outcome of this behaviour just look at Starlin. It seems it has repeated once again and the poor Russians will suffer for his ego.

  5. If people were honest about it , it could be either side. Both sides have reasons to do this but as usual Russia will get the blame regardless. One of the guest was saying that if the explosion occurred from inside the pipe then it was Gazprom . But do not forget that Germany has taken over Gazprom so if something was sent down the pipe then it could of been sent from the German side or the Russian side. In a world of lies and deceit we will never know. Maybe some one is worried that Germany will change its stance on Russia and lift the sanction so by doing this eliminates that option.
