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.
Reports emerged on Tuesday of explosions from under the Baltic Sea with unusual leaks discovered on the Nord Stream 1 & 2 pipelines.
Danish PM Mette Fredriksen said that authorities insist it was a deliberate act, but added that there was “no information indicating who could be behind it,” despite Polish MEP Radoslaw Sikorski insinuating on Twitter that the US was responsible.
Because now the largest pipeline goes through Poland. They’ll have to negotiate.
Especially funny if you consider that Poland has been sabotaging nordstream 1 negotiations back then. And sometime in the future we would see how much german money it will take for Poland to overcome its giant russophobia.
Seriously though, mere thought about that will probably cause Germany to fork the cash for repairs of nordstream.
Precisely. Now Poland will be able to dictate the terms

Had I your confidence. Poland has been building up as NATO’s buffer for, what, 30 years? And it’s covered by USA bases and nukes. If this comes to blows, it might end with a crater in place of the planet

Well I was going to say “country”, but realized there’s no “limited” nuclear war
During the cold war NATO planned to nuke every transit hub in Poland in case of war with USSR, to isolate the GDR. Which basically means every city 50000+ and many smaller. I’m absolutely convinced this plan is still on the table.
Except this time Poland is USA’s “favourite wife”
Germany might fork that money anyway. It’s paying Gazprom 40 billion a year till 2030, whether it gets gas or not.
I know; I was just being facetious.
