Title: Nord Stream 2
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 27 September 2022, 23:25:12

So someone has blown up Nord Stream 2, the gas pipeline from Russia to Germany in three places under the Baltic Sea.  :o

Millions of dollars worth of natural gas are bubbling up to the surface and escaping into the atmosphere (God knows what that will do for climate change!  :D) and the general consensus seems to be that it was the Russians that did it.  ::)

Or did they?  ???

There's a few mischievous sorts out there claiming it was the Yanks wot did it!  :o

Popcorn time?  :)

Probably the same git that set off the hotel fire alarm an hour before wake up >:D

Although Copenhagen should be fun at the weekend...

Given that Nord stream was essentially a way for Russia to sell gas to Germany unimpeded by Ukraine, it doesn't seem rational for Russia to shoot themselves in the foot and blow it up.

Then again, they don't appear to do rational these days. :-X

Maybe it's just the US putting a seal on the EU's resolve to wean themselves off Russian gas. ;)

.. or Putin sending a message that that shiny new pipeline from Norway might not be immune from interference.

My belief is overpressure in the line .
Static gas line with immense pressure monitored and controlled by cretins in white coats with a hangover who treat the combined gas law with disdain.

Would be a bad hand for the US to play given the global underwater infrastructure that would be exposed to russian subs with ROV's

Nah ..simple russian idiocy at it's best .

I said right from the outset thatUkraine ought to have blown the line up. Probably didn’t have rhe tech.

Geologists registered the explosions and it is both Nord 1 and 2.

Neither pipeline will be used again until China runs the show.

Edit - how on earth will the entirely european owned pipelines be protected? E.g. the new Norway Germany/Poland? If they get blown up by the mystery bomber, expect energy prices to put on another spurt UP.

Two explosions, just inside international waters, through thick concrete and steel, does sound very much sabotage from somebody

Er, China already do run the show, it is just that most haven't noticed.

I always thought it was the work of the US, but new information is coming to light.

Is the actual culprit closer to home, much closer?  :o
