Questions continue to swirl about how Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 were damaged last year, with U.S. officials maintaining they had no role in the sabotage of the pair of Russian pipelines supplying natural gas to Europe. Journalist Jeremy Scahill, senior correspondent for The Intercept, says the Biden administration remains the most obvious suspect, even as new reporting in the U.S. and Europe has suggested possible alternatives.

1 million Dead innocent Irakis,WMD,LIES so what is that it so call amerruukanss,SHYT 4 BRAINS
The narrative about the “yacht” and the small team: Medic (“tiny woman”) and 7 men is completely absurd. Paid to be dumb and lie.
Only highly trained operatives cud've done it who had knowledge/ experience in handling exploding military grade explosives for sabotage in combat like say Afghan/Iraq war etc…
That was an act of terrorism the northstream pipeline. Joe biden said he would stop it 7 months ago
Wow, a credible guest on Democracy Now about this war. About time, though over a year late. Now, invite Scott Ritter.
Out of Russia and USA which one is trespassing on the wrong side of the planet again ?
who gains the most? Seems to me a mercenary group like blackwater or Xe now Academi, owned by a group of private investors., could be hired for far less then companies would make replacing that supply. KISS.
I COMMEND whomever it was who struck a blow against putins thuggery. Are we to play stupid ??? All is fair in love and war and putin cannot finish what he has started…
If it phucked with pootin's ability to profit, & fund his agression against our Ukrainian friends….so what !!??
History shows us the U.S will destroy and kill millions around the world. Now people think the u.s. wouldnt blow up a pipeline. This is the same people who still think voting matters. Our whole govt is corporate captured.
The U.S.’s denying of culpability is a lesson in gaslighting.
What credible journalist jumps in as a pundit for Russia Today?
mixed gas diving would likely allowed short bottom time at this depth. Remotely operated vehicles could have been employed.
Seymour Hersh has creditability, Washington has a pit of lies. They are not even convincing lies. Two planes bring down three skyscrapers, Iraq has WMDs, and the water is safe to drink. People have to stop being ignorant.
👍🏻
Is this an Act Of War?
democracy now should be prime time
Again….this is a crime where the chief suspect and the one with the most motive called for the crime to be done before it was carried out and CELEBRATED after the crime and openly said the crime was a "tremendous opportunity." There shouldn't really be doubt or confusion about this.
Great video
As a dane, I am not happy when infrastructure in our territorial waters are blown up… but it's a good thing that the Nord Stream pipeline is dead. Putin is a monstrous dictator, and Russia is an supremacist and imperialist state. We don't want business with Russia anymore. We never should have trusted them as partners and enriched their oligarchs. Good fucking riddance.
All the US Foreign policies are about building or destroying oil or gas pipelines around the world.
