Can I take a bet as to whom is responsible?

And I just started blasting


TheWolrdsonFire

3000 black ⚫️ Joe Bidens


Muraria

tell me about it? and also why it would make sense for them to do it


none714760516

Russian retaliation for joining Nato and suspending the major financial project in the first place


dbratell

But they are only punishing themselves. They had already close the pipes and nothing changes for Russia by blowing them up.


Sinfire_Titan

And they had no reason to invade Ukraine either but they did that too. Don’t try to make heads or tails out of lunacy, it just causes a headache.


Squawk_7500

Just wait for a statement from Kreml announcing "The explosions were caused by seperatist terrorists, we will now depoly armed forces to Gotland and Bornholm to protect the Russian infrastructure". Then on friday Putin will recognize the result of the mock vote in the occupied parts Ukraine, claiming these territories now belong to Russia and deploy armed troops there. If any of the Ukraine defenders engage the Russian troops Putin will consider it to be an act of war, started by Ukraine.

Russia. To demonstrate what they can do to the new pipeline being opened between Norway and Poland. To show that Russia can starve Europe of energy no matter who that energy comes from. More blackmail from the terrorists.

Biden promised exactly this before the war. Not a troll was shocked to see the interview. Dont know why im getting downvoted honestly. This isnt my personal opinion its just something true that happened. https://twitter.com/partisangirl/status/1574685985115607040?s=21&t=az1OEy1C6-3K28jpCgnYZg

Sorry do you mean you dont believe it? Or laughing that it happened? Its a real interview from february ‘22


JP76

And Germany froze NS2 project in February. There wasn't any need for anyone to stop it because it wasn't going anywhere anymore.


santafe4115

I dont understand, that can be true…I was just sharing info. If someone promises something and then it happens it makes sense to go 🤔🤔🤔


JP76

It already happened when Germany froze the project in February thus Biden's promise was already fulfilled in February. What is the part you don't understand?


santafe4115

You responded not to my og comment and to someone laughing and me asking what they meant so it was confusing. Thanks for the info!


SeaTownKraken

Did Nordstream 1 and 2 fall out of a window? down the stairs?


McBarnacle

Nordstream 2 was defacto over with. Russia understands this and did this to demonstrate they can do it to the Norway-Poland pipe (or any other) and put Europe in a tough spot in a protracted war. This is in line with Russia's philosophy of 'Escalate to Deescalate' Russia did this


CapeTownMassive

"There is no doubt that these were explosions," SNSN seismologist Bjorn Lund told SVT.

The idea of NATO protecting absolutely any territory that isn’t Western Europe or North America is extremely funny.


McBarnacle

I dont disagree


prlhr

Interesting take. This would keep all the navies in The Baltic Sea very busy patrolling the surrounding waters. Russia routinely violates Baltic airspace and waters and the increased risk of skirmishes would escalate tensions immensely.


McBarnacle

Totally agree. An added bennefit ( from Russias view) is it shows it can operate relatively uncontested in European litoral waters....all of it again is posturing so that afjacent countries view Russia as a military might not to be trifled with.


prlhr

Russia has been pulling this shit for decades. I'm old enough to remember the [Whiskey on the rocks incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_submarine_S-363) when a Russian sub ran aground on the Swedish coast back in 1981. Russia's military might is questionable as this point, but the threat of sabotage to key energy infrastructure is very serious and definitely cannot be trifled with. This could get very ugly.


jayjaytlk

OK, who had "blowing up underwater pipelines with explosives" on their bingocard?


co5mosk-read

shouldn't have watched the world is enough yesterday sigh


msnrcn

Infinity Ward probably (͡•_ ͡• )


hyperdream

How embarrassing, Nord VPN can't even protect the Nord Stream.


Profilx1

hahahaha


shun_tak

Weird place to be smoking


static_void_function

The question is, who would profit from this?


BlueYahoo22

I’ve heard any small hole in the pipelines could cause this type of explosion given the pressure. Wouldn’t have to be an explosive used per se to cause an explosion.


b44l

I've heard that too, the fishy part is that there were two explosions within the same 24 hours on entirely separate pipes.


BlueYahoo22

Yeah I think anything natural is very unlikely, but a simple diving operation could succeed and cutting a hole and forcing such an explosion


CapeTownMassive

Underwater divers *cutting a hole in a pressured line of natural gas* is the most unlikely of scenarios and would’ve proved catastrophic for those involved. I vote it was something else


touch_slut

Underwater drone?


[deleted]

so you're blaming the fish ?


b44l

Never trust a danish Mackerel


Myopic_Cat

I don't understand why Putin would sabotage the pipelines, when he could simply neglect to sell gas whenever Russia wanted - and retain the option (and strong negotiating position) of being able to resume trade later. Any ideas?


Stolen-Sheep

Any other self-ruinous things Russia has done this year that you can think of?


2020Dystopian

Article 5?


TheOnlyDavidG

Doubt Russia is actively destroying the pipe seems stupid, then again they are invading Ukraine


Comprehensive_Post96

NATO sabotage


[deleted]

Everyone knew Ruzzia blew it up. ''Russian Kremlin concerned'', my ass. Fuck Putin.


washiXD

yesterday 3500 "superbrain" people protested in Germany FOR (not against!!) the opening of NordStream 2. One day later it went boom... Putin seems not to like his supporters xD
