Expect the act of environmental terrorism that is the sabotage of Nord Stream 2 to be first ignored by environmental organizations, then the regime actors, and finally the press. Like the origins of Covid-19, there’s nothing here for the unwashed masses to see. Moving on.

Biden is on record stating we could take out the pipelines. This wasn’t in Russias interest

As is Victoria Nuland. If Russia wanted to, they could just turn it off.

True enough, but it's not really in our interest, either. With the midterms coming up, even the Biden administration isn't dumb enough to do something to increase inflation even further.

Maybe a pipe under the ocean that's been shut off for awhile simply sprung a leak. Things still break. God knows maintenance on roads, bridges, water systems and the electric grid in the U.S. are delayed--it's probably even worse in Russia.

If it had been under pressure, then shut off, then re-pressurized it could explain the leak.

Except that this doesn't directly affect us. It is going to have a serious effect on Europe this winter, however.

Always consider cui bono. Preventing Russia from selling natural gas to Europe (at whatever price it chooses) benefits someone. It doesn't benefit Russia, and it doesn't benefit the common people of Europe.

I agree with your second paragraph but I think you overestimate Biden and his handlers in the first.

So far Biden has given no evidence that he can do unidiotic things.

lol yeah! But in Biden’s case it seems he’s always been, well, not the most agile mind in government, and age isn’t making him any wiser 😜

Used to say he might’ve fell off the turnip truck, but it didn’t back over his head….now I’m starting to wonder if it didn’t - multiple times

Has any checked on Greta’s whereabouts? She’s my #1 suspect.
