I am not really worried about Russian retaliation. They have pretty much shown themselves to be impotent short of going nuclear. I just can't figure out what the purpose of this was. Nordstream 2 was never certified and isn't ever going to be verified during Putin's lifetime. Nordstream 1 was throttled by the Russians in a (sort of ineffective) attempt to reduce the European gas reserves for winter).
I am really interested in seeing what happened here (if we ever know).
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
