EU Threatens Retaliation if Nord Stream Sabotage Proven EU Foreign Policy chief Josep Borrell believes Tuesday’s damage to the Nord Stream pipelines was deliberate sabotage, and has warned it will be met with a “robust” response.

    They’re obviously going to blame Russia, which is incredibly stupid. Aside from a false flag attack (which seems extremely unlikely considering the West already blames Russia for everything), I can’t think of a single reason for them to sabotage the pipeline, whereas Amerika benefits greatly from this

      Also, the fact that Europe needs Russian gas and can get it right now (well, could) is the biggest card they have (had) to negotiate a de-escalation. By blowing it up, even by blaming someone else, they would only be burning their own bridge and ending any material reason Europe would have to return to peaceful relations with Russia. There’s literally zero benefit from a Russian standpoint to blowing up their own pipeline to Europe. On the other hand, who would benefit materially right away from this without repercussions? The US.

      It’s gonna require some olympic-level mental gymnastics to somehow convince people that Russia did it to… own themselves, I guess.

        Don’t underestimate the mental gymnastic abilities of Westoids.

        Seriously. It makes no fucking sense.

        Unless you’re a dumb Western liberal who is divorced from material reality and just think Adolf Putin is just trying to be eeevilll.

      Also the fact, that at the time fucking US ships and helicopters were weirdly moving around the rupture points for some time. Circumstantial evidence points at Muricans.
