The Times of London reported Thursday that Germany is “open” to theories that a Western country attacked the Nord Stream pipelines in an attempt to blame the incident on Russia.
The Times report reads: “The German investigation is thought to have made little progress so far, with officials having yet to uncover any compelling evidence. However, The Times understands that they remain open to theories that a western state carried out the bombing with the aim of blaming it on Russia.”
Since the attacks on the natural gas pipelines that connect Russia and Germany were discovered in September, none of the three countries investigating the incident — Germany, Sweden, and Denmark — have said publicly who they believe was responsible.
At the time of the attack, Western officials and media outlets pinned the blame on Russia even though both Nord Stream pipelines are mainly owned by Gazprom, the Russian state natural gas company. But recently, Western media has acknowledged there’s no evidence Moscow was responsible.
For their part, Russia has accused the UK of being involved in the Nord Stream sabotage. The Kremlin claimed it had intelligence that showed “British military specialists were directing and coordinating the attack.” But Moscow hasn’t offered any evidence, and the UK denies the claim.
The US has a motive for attacking the pipelines as it tried to stop the Nord Stream 2 pipeline’s construction for years. After the incident, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the explosions provided a “tremendous opportunity” to wean Europe off Russian gas.
Victoria Nuland, the undersecretary of state for political affairs, said at a Senate hearing last week that the Biden administration was happy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was a “hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.” She was addressing Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and both used the term before the war to describe the pipeline as it was not delivering gas to Germany.
It’s obvious what the truth is to us objective observers. It’s sad that it taken so much political wrangling for Germany to even be “open” to the truth – that their pipeline got bombed by their NATO “ally”…
Remember Germany is still occupied by the US .
Add the NATO Europe and de facto Sweden. Sweden and Denmark most likely were involved, making sure the investigations would be clean with evidence Russia did it, something must have gone wrong they could not get fake credible evidence. Not even a Russian ship was nearby to prove the Russians did it. Maybe someone fouled up not thinking to have at least a Russian ship in the vicinity when the sabotage occurred.
My, are Germans this slow?
No, but when the ๐บ๐ธ Ministry of Truth controls your every move, what you say and do is extremely limited. ๐
The Germans are scared to death of the US .
The USA has some 30 000 soldiers stationed in Germany and they would be used to control any uprising of the German people.
Sorry, but recent history made me open my eyes to the kind of government we have, it is not the American people it is the elite in charge.
The elite picks our governments and the elite meeting in Davos picked all the European governments too, they control the media and the guns and the money. They fund the neocon RW Think Tanks. Who else would have the funds to accomplish the corruption of our governments. They are ruthless, and evil people. Is there another explanation for the governments we have?
Sweden and Finland without any real explanation to the people want to end their neutrality and become members of NATO. Why, what do they expect to gain for their people, WHY?
The US is destroying NATO, it is cannonfodder like Ukraine. Why do the Scandinavians want to board the Titanic?
We have gangsters in government, people with no character.
“…western state carried out the bombing with the aim of blaming it on Russia.โ No. They carried out the bombing precisely to carry out the bombing. Blaming Russia is the cherry on top. But no worries.
The “investigators” may still allege that Russia used an under water balloon supplied by China. (Sarcasm alert)
The U.S. government blew up the pipeline to intimidate the Germans. Their attempt to blame Russia was pro forma — just to see if anybody’d buy it. It’s so implausible they must have known nobody’d take it seriously, except cable news presenters and many of them struggled to keep a straight face as they reported it

The NS pipelines were destroyed to eliminate any chances that Germany might have of reaching a deal with Russia for cheap gas and simultaneously to make the US the controller of gas supplies to Germany to keep it under the boot so to speak.
In fact, in my opinion the whole Ukraine fiasco was for the purpose of controlling natural gas flows to Europe, starting with Biden’s son multi-million dollar engagement with Burisma right after thecoup.
The whole”blame Russia for blowing up” its own pipelines is so outlandish that it can only be described as a distraction to obfuscate the situation.
This war is meant to destroy the German economy and the EU along the way, after that they will destroy the Chinese economy with the help of Taiwan and Japan, because there will be no NATO left anyway.
The public mind has been so manipulated to believe every fairytale they MSM tells in service of government and war. They get away with everything no matter how irrational.
There are ~195 countries in the World. I think that they slowly will tell which ones didn’t bomb the pipeline. They already ruled out Russia.
That means they have only about 192 or 193 left to absolve.
It was obvious from day one who was behind the terrorist attack the US with it`s British LACKEY in tow.
Blaiming Russia for destroying their own pipelines made as much sense as an interragator cutting off his own fingers to intimidate his prisoner.
Good one. Imagine that! I noticed you also said finger(s) in the pleural. LOL
The Germans have said they KNOW who did it but they can’t tell, they even said it to the parliamentarians. And the MEDIA NEVER EVEN QUESTIONED THAT RESPONSE.
It is easy to believe that the US did it with help from western states, that includes Sweden, a de facto NATO member. They investigated and refused to tell the Germans the results, the public was never told what they found out.
Frankly it would not surprise me if we find out that Biden told Scholz what they would do before he told the journalist they know how to stop the use of the pipeline.
As insane as the NATO leadership is, everything is possible.
BTW, the Israeli Iron Dome sounds like a fairytale too. 97% effective without any concrete evidence to prove it, like the WMD in Iraq.
The Brits did it based on an order from US…!
It is near Sweden and Denmark, it stands to reason that both were well informed in advance, they knew what to investigate.
The entire investigation is a farce and everyone knows it.
Ever since Hitler got Germany into the second World War, their alphas are no longer around.
Permit me to make 2 slight corrections to discussion.
Again and again we hear from various information sources that the Nordstream pipelines were destroyed. That’s just not accurate.
The “Nordstream pipelines” consists of four actual pipelines, 2 for the original Nordstream and two for Nordstream 2. The sabotage succeeded in breaching three of these pipes. One of the original Nordstream pipes remains intact.
As each of these pipelines has a capacity of 27.5 billion cubic meters of LNG per year, Germany could, on the instant, resume receipt of a substantial quantity of Russian gas, a quantity which could immediately rescue Germany from its current economic difficulties. (Following Germany coming to its senses and engaging in a bit of diplomacy to achieve a rapprochement with Russia.)
Finally, the notion that the three busted pipes are “destroyed” is inaccurate. In each of the broken pipes, only a 50 meter section of the total ***1,234 kilometer*** length is damaged. Repair of those three sections would be a straightforward matter.
The Germans said they know who did it but they can’t tell. Why not? We all know that if the Russians were insane enough and had done it, we would have been told and they would have put the evidence on the table.
They did it together, and I believe that the Germans were even told in advance, and they did not dare open their mouth.
The fairytales: WMD, Israeli Iron Dome, Pipeline Sabotage, the Incubator Babies, the Gulf of Tonkin, and, and, and more.
Only fools believe anything they say.
I believe that everyone of us reading the bye line is tapping our foreheads Judge Judy-style, saying โ Do I have STUPID written here?โ
