Quoted: That’s a lot of gas leaking from a pipe that was supposed to be shutdown. Seems like the Europeans were buying a shitload of gas’s on the down-low from Russia. Remember, they were supposed to have shut it off when Russia invaded Ukraine as part of the sanctions. View Quote Why would the Europeans do this |

The lines were both shut off, right? Whoever did this did it to *keep* them shut off. Who would have a motive to do that? Who else wants that gas but isn't served by that pipeline? China.

Quoted: We've fallen pretty far it seems. I didn't think we'd reach the craziness the likes of which where Liberals were saying GWB attack the World Trade Center. Well here we are . View Quote I think the loss of integrity of major institutions over the past few years has made a lot of people start questioning everything, for better or worse. And to be completely truthful I can't entirely blame them, as trying to figure out what is and isn't true has become increasingly difficult. |

Quoted: It prevents countries like Germany from being able to cave to Russian demands. They can't submit to Russia's demands to get the pipeline turned back on, if there's no pipeline. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The tying together of Biden's comments with the leak/sabotage would have been much more believable in March or April. I cant really think of a reason to blow up inactive (Nord 1) and never used (Nord 2) pipelines. The Russians already cut off supply of oil to Europe. Europe and the US are already aligned with Ukraine against Russia and no one will flip sides over a small "push" in either direction anymore. Biden's comments seemed to be a threat in immediate reaction to invasion and were made back when Nord 1 and Nord 2 were the big diplomatic chips being played before the invasion. Blowing up/damaging unused pipelines in retaliation for an invasion 8 months after the fact seems unlikely. It prevents countries like Germany from being able to cave to Russian demands. They can't submit to Russia's demands to get the pipeline turned back on, if there's no pipeline. Except Kremlin's stated demands are the "collective west" must rescind sanctions. The NG energy issue is larger than Germany really, and Germany isn't in a position to unilaterally accede to Russia's demands. Tho Russia is doing yeoman's work using information to shape discussions and influence the uncritical. |

Quoted: Quoted: Why would Russia blow it up, and not just turn it off? To pretend they didn't do it? Good reason to not supply gas to the coming humanitarian crisis in Europe. "Oh, I see you all are freezing and can't power your grid or move critical goods from place to place. I'm so sorry, I'd help, BUT, there's no pipeline". Sell it elsewhere instead, watch Europe burn (or freeze), and they become an easy mark. Destroy them financially, humanitarian crisis, here's comes ol Russia and China with the help everyone needs. |

When you ‘mothball’ an underwater system it’s typical to keep it internally pressurized to exceed the force of the water on the outside of the pipe.
I don’t know the pipelines depth but at 100’ it would be near 60 PSI. Depth (meters/feet) Fresh Water (1000 kg/m3) Sea Water (1030 kg/m3) 30.48 meters (100 feet) 0.4 MPa 58 PSI 0.4 MPa 59.3 PSI Regardless it’s safe to say that the system is flooded with seawater to whatever points that they have as safety gates (section isolation). This removes the option of sanction relief or black market flow. The reverse gear on this is going to be an expensive solution. |

Quoted: To pretend they didn't do it? View Quote And then what? They divide the alliance, so that the embittered members can come to the table and seek... nothing now. I would invite you to be open to the possibility that we are not the good guys. That doesn't mean Russian subjugation of their neighbors is correct, or that Putin's not a despot, or that we aren't ultimately the lesser of the two evils. But that doesn't mean we can't still be evil. Our strength is our freedom to demand better of ourselves, irrespective of what our enemies say or do about us. They can have their own schemes and machinations, and they may think us divided and weak for our ability to make our leaders accountable, but that is our greatest asset that they will never be able to match. We can beat Russia AND still be the good guys. After all, their showing in Ukraine has shown that shouldn't be too hard to do. |

And I don't see Russia destroying two pipelines that become potential financial windfalls after the fighting is over. That leaves the US, China, and Ukraine. Of the three, only the US has the means, the motive, and the opportunity as well as a confession. |

Quoted: I am open to anything where there is evidence. View Quote At this point, I am suspect of any evidence provided by the current status quo supporters and base my worldview almost entirely on conjecture unless its especially damning. Not full schizo but definitely don't trust people who think a brace is a bump stock to give me the "real story". Just being honest with you and myself here. I hate to say it, as I normally consider myself pretty rational, but it's true at this point. I think that's emblematic of a lot of low-trust societies, where you see a propagation of conspiracy theories as no one trusts any of the major social institutions. You see it a lot in the 3rd world, especially the middle east. I always wondered how people could think that way, but what the hell, here I am now too. |
