ANALYSIS: Nord Stream Pipelines Sabotaged, and Only One Country Benefits (thegatewaypundit.com)
First, the US became the number one exporter of liquified natural gas to Europe once Russia cut off the flow. German dependence on US LNG is a carrot to keep German in the sanction alliance. With winter approaching and German unrest on the rise, the State Department would have been concerned the Germans would go wobbly, reduce sanctions, cut off arms to Ukraine, and beg Putin for energy. The loss of the Nord Stream pipelines eliminates that path to renewed gas imports to Germany.
Second, the Biden family has long been tangled up in natural gas and Ukraine. Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukraine’s largest natural gas company—a position that provided Ukrainian oligarchs with access to Joe Biden. Hunter, who has no experience in energy, made millions from the deal, and Ukraine got a bought-and-paid-for President of the United States.
Third, the Democrat Biden needs to stanch the popularity bleeding that threatens to kill Democrat control of Congress come November.
So, only the United States has a compelling reason to destroy Europe’s energy lifeline from Russia. Only the United States has both the means and the motive.
But what about opportunity?
Operation BALTOPS 22: June 2022
Seapower magazine—the official magazine of the Navy League—reported in June on a US exercise in the Baltic Sea, directly over the spots where two massive, undersea explosions took out the Nord Stream pipeline.

LifeSiteNews) – Tucker Carlson strongly insinuated on his
on Tuesday that the Biden administration may be responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea and that this would lead to war between the U.S. and Russia.
“If they did this, it would be one of the craziest, most destructive things any American administration has ever done, but it would also be totally consistent with what they do,” and this would mean that “the United States is directly at war with the largest nuclear power in the world,” according to Carlson.
Detonations in the Baltic Sea on Monday, September 27,
caused massive damage to the two major gas pipelines between Russia and Germany called Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2. Most experts believe that this was a deliberate, targeted attack on the pipelines.
Carlson quoted Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki who called the incident an “act of sabotage.”
He ridiculed the mainstream media for speculating that Russian President Vladimir Putin is responsible for the attack and said “Vladimir Putin may be evil […] but is he stupid? Probably isn’t stupid.”
Elaborating on his point that Russia would be an unlikely perpetrator, Carlson said that “If you are Vladimir Putin, you would have to be a suicidal moron to blow up your own energy pipelines,” and “Natural gas pipelines are the main source of your power and your wealth and most critically your leverage over other countries.”
Carlson went on to say that while blowing up Nord Stream does not help Vladimir Putin, other countries would have considered destroying the pipelines, citing President Joe Biden’s statements from this February.
