Earth Defenders jump for joy! 110 billion cubic metres p/a of Earth destroying fossil fuels sabotaged, probably permanently, as salt water from the 4 explosions corrodes the pipes inside. However it’s unlikely that the various climate defense movements could pull off such a coordinated underwater caper.
The Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines have a joint annual capacity of 110 billion cubic metres – nearly half of Russia’s normal gas exports volumes.
Ukraine claims it was Russia, of course, but every day they invent a new Russian outrage. Okay neither pipeline was functioning at present, but Russia was looking for a peace with Europe, now it has absorbed most ethnic Russian areas in Ukraine
“Thank You USA!” – yelled the ex PM of Poland , Sikorski. And most European capitals tacitly agreed. After all the US ‘moved mountains’ for years to sabotage Nordstream 2 and stopped it being switched on, partly provoking the war. .
The US has the means, with a trillion dollar defense budget, and the motive, to sell its own LNG frack gas and prevent Germany making peace, saving its economy, and switching on Nordstream 2.
Russia is disgusted, labelling the sabotage as ‘terrorist attacks’, and obviously a big loser if/when oil and gas prices normalize. (Also exposed are the Turkstream 1 and 2 pipelines which cross under the Black Sea and supply gas to Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, and soon Austria? And what about ‘Power of Siberia’ gas pipeline that goes all the way to China?)
And what about Sweden and Great Britain?? Both chomping at the mouth to sabotage Russia, as well as being virtual proxies of the US military.
The sabotage acts are a great victory for Mother Earth, but they obviously risk ‘tit for tat’ attacks that could destroy us and the planet in a Nuclear War.
