Nord Stream explosion mystery: We need proof, says Estonia's PM Kaja Kallas | GZERO World



How to demand accountability for the pipeline explosion no one is owning up to?

Who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines? We still don’t know, and that’s a pretty troubling thought given it’s the single biggest attack outside of Ukraine during the war. Multiple investigations determined the September 2022 explosions of Nord Stream 1 and 2 were sabotaged, and the west immediately blamed the Russians. But months after the attack, there’s still no evidence of Russian involvement and the explosions are still an international unsolved mystery.

At the Munich Security Conference, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas sat down with GZERO World and Ian Bremmer, where he asked her directly if she buys the story of Russian involvement. Kallas has an interesting theory about a possible pipeline mix-up, and says that the question of who is responsible is still an open one. Ultimately, Kallas says there must be proof if there is going to be accountability, and achieving that accountability might mean rethinking international law.

    I doubt the Russians did it. If they had any evidence of that everyone would have already made it known. Also, it makes the Russians look weak and impotent. Somebody blows up your pipeline and all you can do is whine about it? Not a good look for Putin. I also doubt America did it. Biden has no stomach for that kind of thing. He was the only one with advance knowledge of the Bin Laden raid who didn't want to do it and he was the guy that insisted on immediately pulling out of Afghanistan. Biden is not a bold risk taker and had America done it, approval would have had to come from him.

    The reality here is this could have been done by almost anyone. The location of the pipelines is public knowledge and they are within a depth that divers regularly descend to. Sure it's outside of normal recreational depths, but virtually any coastal city will have dozens of divers that are certified and familiar with diving at those depths and that assumes that the charges weren't simply lowered into place and verified with an underwater camera. This could have even been done by a non-governmental organization.

    Ian, what happened to your "TRUTH as it stand" on the NS II pipeline destruction you so passionately expressed on previous episode. You and Mdm. PM know full well the investigation was completed awhile back but deemed too SENSITIVE to be publish.

    I wonder why many think it was done by a country. Why not by NATO?
    The Bologna massacre, the bombing of a railway station by Gladio, killing 85 and wounding more than 200 civilians, to influence elections was done by NATO as a false flag terrorist attack. No one in the chaine of command in NATO was punished for that. The defence minister in the Netherlands said he did not even know that such an organisation existed in his country. We don't know whether or not USA politicians knew anything about it.
    If the bombing of the pipelines was such a NATO action it explains why it is considdered to dangerous for state security to inform the citizens about the investigations.

    Ian, are you gaslighting us? Was this filmed before Seymour Hersh's piece was published? If it was filmed after the piece was published, it's entirely disingenuous not to at least mention the existence of the piece, the thesis, and the evidence it cited. No question Hersh has become extremely and perversely anti-American and anti-West in his bias, but his piece did present evidence, and you and the PM shouldn't have sat there acting like no one has come up with any evidence or that no serious theory exists.

    When I heard The white female ape talking about accountability, I can not stop myself laughing. US raped Iraq, and where is the accountablity?????????

    Given that the US by far, attacks other countries the most, there is no way that they would allow for countries that attack other countries to be held resposible.
