The Western media will probably point a finger at Russia—the only player in this drama who had absolutely nothing to gain from such an act of treachery. And who didn't have to blow up anything to stop the gas, just turn a shut-off valve. 

Biden ‘Promises’ To Stop Nord Stream 2 Pipeline If Russia Invades Ukraine

Feb 8, 2022

Russian gas for Germany and Europe? Nah. In front of the pathetic Olaf Schultz, Germany's PM, Biden pretty much announces America will simply not permit it. If Germans freeze and their economy implodes, well, so be it, says the front man for the US oligarchy."

I therefore agree with The Saker's take on this matter, which mirrors that of Moon of Alabama, and certainly Gonzalo Lira's, although I do not quite agree with Lira's  whole explanation for this event. 

Says The Saker (Andrei Raevsky):
The few headlines below are, I think, quite amazing.

• The Americans Declared War On Europe
• The War On Germany Just Entered Its Hot Phase
• Swedish experts report explosions at Nord Stream pipeline sites
• EU threatens foreign observers over Donbass referendum
• Russia set to reap bumper harvest
• Blinken Says Ukraine ‘Has Every Right’ to Use US Weapons Against Russian-Controlled Territories
• Giorgia Meloni: ‘I believe that the existence of Israel is vital and I will make every effort to invest in greater cooperation between our countries’

The thing which I find absolutely hilarious is that the Europeans DO speak of sabotage but DO NOT even mention who the obvious culprit is.  So, especially for the braindead Europeans, I have this: a video from President Brandon himself promising to stop NS2 if Russia “invades” the Ukraine. (See above).

Needless to say, I totally agree with Lira – the Anglos are willing to completely destroy Europe to maintain their dominion over the EU.

And to my great sadness, I have to say that the people of Europe RICHLY deserve what is coming their way.  Simply put: if you have no self-respect, why would anybody have any respect for you? 

Okay, signing off for the time being. (Andrei lives in Florida, about to be hit by a monster hurricane). 

Conditions permitting, I will try to drop by as often as I can.  But the next 3 days will be very tough.

Bernhard, Moon of Alabama's editor (who, is German), has the best take on this matter:

The War On Germany Just Entered Its Hot Phase

Just yesterday I laid out how the U.S. is winning its war on Europe's industries and people.

That war, hidden behind the U.S. created Ukraine crisis, is designed to destroy Europe's manufacturing advantage compared to the U.S. It is more likely though to strengthen the economic position of China and other Asian economies.

I have argued that Germany must open the Nord Stream II pipeline which can bring Russian natural gas to Germany without crossing other countries' territory. It must also allow Siemens to repair the defect[ive] Nord Stream I compressors. It is in fact inevitable if German's industry is to survive.

Others have come to similar conclusion and decided to sabotage the pipelines to make their re-opening impossible:

Three offshore lines of the Nord Stream gas pipeline system have sustained "unprecedented" damage in one day, Nord Stream AG, the operator of the network, said on Tuesday in what one German official has suggested is a "targeted attack”. Nord Stream 2 suffered a gas leak which was then followed by a drop of pressure on Nord Stream 1.

The company also said that it was impossible to estimate when the gas network system's working capability would be restored.

The simultaneous subsea damage to three pipelines is obviously not an accident.

A German economy official told Tagesspiegel: "We can't imagine a scenario that isn't a targeted attack."

They added: "Everything speaks against a coincidence."

The warmongers at the British Telegraph claim without any evidence or logic that Russia is the culprit:

Russian sabotage to gas supplies to Europe is feared after three offshore lines of the Nord Stream pipeline system suffered “unprecedented” damage in a single day.
...
Russia has withheld gas supplies to Europe as it seeks to hit back for Western sanctions imposed for the illegal invasion of Ukraine. German newspapers reported sources saying the leaks were as a result of a "targeted attack".

As stated in yesterday's piece the claim that Russia is withholding gas from Europe is outright false:

Nord Stream II was created to make Germany independent from pipelines running through Poland and the Ukraine. Blocking it was the most stupid thing for Germany to do and thus chancellor Scholz did it.

In the following months Poland blocked the Yamal pipeline which also brought Russian gas to Germany. Ukraine followed up with cutting off two Russian pipelines. The main compressor stations of the Nord Stream I pipeline, which the German company Siemens had build and has the maintenance contract, failed one after the other. Sanction are prohibiting Siemens from repairing them.

It is not Russia that has blocked its gas and oil from European markets. It were the German, Polish and Ukrainian governments that did it.

Russia would in fact be happy to sell more. Putin has recently again offered to push as much Russian gas as possible through Nord Stream II to Germany: ...

EDITOR'S NOTE

The idea of America attacking, in an underhanded way, its own loyal vassals in Europe for its calculated benefit right in the middle of a major war with Russia, is incomprehensible to most Americans and even Europeans. And the reason for their perplexity and disbelief stem from the sheer Machiavellian complexity and pathological evil of the American machinations. A well informed population would have little difficulty understanding what is actually going on, but an alarmingly infantilized and ignorant public is incapable of seeing through such dirty schemes. The masses desperately need genuine leaders, and an honest media willing and able to educate them about such matters, but both are in painful scarcity throughout the West, and that is no accident. Deeply entrenched disinformation serving ruling class interests, is awfully hard to disarm.
