    So, who sabotaged the Nordstream pipeline?

    Intresting to me, all Russia has to do is turn a valve, so why would they blow it up?

    So, if you can turn a valve and turn it off, what is the sense in blowing it up?

    Not that we might see it but a visual inspection would tell if the explosion was external or internal. Pipelines use what is call a pig. It is used in cleaning, inspecting and separating products in the line. They are pushed by the product or inert gas such as nitrogen. A pig with explosives could be sent down the line and detonated by timer. The flow rate would determine where the pig is when it detonates. It would have to be inserted in the line after the last compressor station before going into the Baltic.

    It was the Russians. They’ll turn it around and blame NATO, we all get sucked in to (more than we already are) a possible WWIII and then we sacrifice more of our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, friends to war that has nothing to do with our country.

    I would be very surprised if it weren't external.

    I saw the same thing circulating a couple days ago. Let’s be real here, Biden can’t even exit a stage without getting ****ing lost. You really thing he’s some kind of secret mastermind who’s plotting sensitive operations to mess with the Russians?

    I have no problem eating crow if in fact Biden did this. But my statement still stands. All that’s happening is the kick off to WWIII and the loss of our fellow Americans.

    IIRC there was a very good illustration of a "nonstandard-payload" pig in the movie The Living Daylights smuggling a (fake) Russian defector out.

    Strong and detailed claims that Poland did it, with various other NATO countries (+ Sweden, NATO membership pending) tacitly approving.
