  1. The main question when will europe wake up to the fact America is their enemy? A blind man can see it. It certainly spells the end of NATO and America militarily occupying Europe.

  2. a German climate activist Luisa Neubauer announced this action in a video 3 months before. This video was discussed millions of times in Germany. The culprit seems 100% found.

  3. One reason why Russia sabotaged its own pipelines is that Russia will soon go broke and Putin plans to tell the Russian people that Russia went broke because the US or some other Ukraine ally sabotaged the pipelines. By sabotaging its own pipelines, Russia also creates an alibi for itself when it sabotages pipelines that don't carry Russian gas. And sabotaging other countries' pipeline simply allows Russia to hurt Europe more. The Russians could foresee that Europe wouldn't be buying their gas in the near future. By Russia sabotaging its own pipelines and other countries' pipelines, Putin can tell the Russian people a more convincing lie about why Russian went broke while simultaneously denying responsibility ("why would we sabotage our own pipelines?!") and making Europe's turn away from Russian gas very painful.

  4. Why would Russia damage a pipeline that it made(invested) when it could just be shut-down?Threats against Nord stream were made by none other then the U.S….so, who do you think did this? Not sure?…U.S.-European military exercises on the island of Bornholm (Sweden-organized), also the area where pipeline-leaks occurred in both 1 and 2. The arrogance and corruption of Amerikan politicians is beyond acceptable.

  5. didn't president Biden say earlier in the interview that he'd do everything he could to stop those pipelines 🤔

  6. US president already said will make it disapper before. Biden: "I promise you, we will bring an end to Nord Stream 2 , we will do that."

  7. It's obvious the European leaders are behind this. They're scared of what the public will do to them for their crap decision making.. And now they want something new to blame Russia for.
    If Russia did it, the gas would first be cut off to stop further loss.. And the the pipes would be blown. But seen as how gas is still flowing out, means the people responsible do not have control of where the gas it's travelling from.

  8. If I'm being honest, I think America sabotaged the pipeline in order to send a message to Putin as to say they're not afraid to escalate the war if they have to (make putin think twice before using nukes) notice the timing of this is at the same time of the sham Russian referendum.

  9. Why would putin want to blow up his own pipeline?

    .To the west this is odd behaviour. From the Russian point of view it may make political sense. It brings into focus of an internal struggle from his political enemies in the Kremelin who want this war to stop,withdrawl from the Ukrain,sign a treaty and start selling gas to the west to save the economey. Putins response is to blow up these pipelines to out manuever his political enemies in tthe Kremelin to continue with this desperate war.

    Perhaps putin could flee with his henchmen to china very soon.

  10. The US is naive if they think Russia is just going to lose. You don’t want to back Putin into a corner. A country with nothing left to lose will win at ANY cost.

  11. NEWS ALERT, 2 German members of Parlament went Kite surfing on Monday morning and clearly saw V. Putin topless riding a Bear along the shoreline of the Baltic sea. Rumors between Experts have it he might have worn a wet suite and the Bear was stuffed with 400 pounds of TnT…

  12. It's not a sham.
    If you understand the language look for Ukrainian videos on YouTube,.they want to join Russia .
    So basically all of this war propaganda from USA

  13. good!! why this stupid européens made an energy pact with the devil you do not have to be a scientist to spot the scam I knew that years ago surely some Europeans politicians where corrupted
    Browns envelopes where flying until TODAY !!!! 👀 😳 🤔

  14. People use your heads! Why would Russia destroy its own pipeline when all it has to do is turn a valve to shut off the gas flow? Which country has most to gain by this? Which country has gas to sell to Europe? Which country has the submarines that could do the sabotage? Any ideas?

  15. Watch all the news media in America blame Putin. We only have a few honest ones left that will tell us corrupt, old, demented Biden said the U.S. would do this.

  16. Anyone who knows anything about geopolitics knows the only super-power that has interests in selling LNG and other forms of energy is the one who did this, and in fact, most say it was America as they are the only super-power that has interests in selling energy to Europe and have been against nord-stream one and two, so, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it all out, and the idiots that did that are the ones calling the kettle black trough their stooges in Ukraine, what a freaking joke!!!

  21. SABOTAGE???
    February 7, just over two weeks before the war broke out, Biden said during a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, "there would be no" Nord Stream 2 pipeline,
    "If Russia invades (…), there will be no Nord Stream 2. We're going to put an end to it," said the Democrat, who added when asked how he intended to ensure that happened. “I promise we'll be able to do that.

  22. Is it possible that it was done to maintain the perception that Russia Gas is still being sold? This way the gas powerful gas companies are still happy and the Rubble is kept artificially high?

  23. They did that to make the winter worse, and chaos in Europe on January, Feb, March while the winter freezes Ukrainian to death on the battleground.
    War is war as Putin said in name of their territory they'll use nukes if necessary which depending of extension of war time will annihilate and destabilize the continent

    These pipelines are enormous in size and they were relying on storage there. Some others might be next

  24. 做美国敌人危险,做美国盟友致命!
    经后苦日子欧洲人慢慢享受吧,企业倒闭、能源上涨、产品失去竞争力、然后金融危机、欧元贬值、优质资产被美国收割,欧洲将长期被美国控制并被美国剪羊毛。
