Leaks in the pipeline - Nord Stream 1 & 2

Cui bono?

My thoughts as well.

Clearly sabotage...but?

[Mik]

But by who, exactly? Doesn't seem the Europeans would do it.

False Flag?

Russians do it and blame it on Ukranians/Europeans/NATO?

[Klaus]

My wild conspiracy theory: This wasn't done by a government. This was the work of criminal finance people who profit financially from the ramifications of the leaks in some way (maybe by betting on rising gas prices in Europe).

Makes more sense than any state actor doing it.

@Mik

Has the fingerprints of SPECTRE all over it.

The plot thickens….

I was unaware of that development. Interesting.

Russia and Tucker are blaming America first.

So, finally Tucker agrees with Biden?

Anne Applebaum's husband, a Polish politician agrees.

BTW, was either pipeline pumping gas right now?

[jon-nyc]

@Jolly Not appreciably, Putin had them down “for maintenance”. But there’s enough gas to divert shipping out of fear of explosions.

Interesting pipeline. 48", 3200 psi. Biggest I ever worked on was 36", 1500psi.

Those two lines are running a lot of gas...

How many cow farts is that?

Today's lesson on how ignorant I am on the topic:

1. Can they turn off the source of the gas?
2. Is the natural gas liquified to go in the pipeline?
3. How come these pipelines don't just explode every 5 seconds?
4. How is natural gas even extracted (I presume it's in a gas state at the source below the rocks)?
5. The world really needs to learn how to live without the finite fuels we have to dig up from under rocks. Let's go nuclear.
