The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines have been leaking natural gas at 3 separate locations in the Baltic Sea, leading to accusations by various governments that the damage was an act of sabotage by Russia or the United States.
And Joe Biden, the CIA, and the State Department all said months ago that this very incident would happen.
Days before Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine in February, Joe Biden “promised” that his administration would “bring an end” to the Nordstream 2 pipeline should Russia invade Ukraine.
“If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it,” Biden said, adding, “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since…the project is in Germany’s control?”

Likewise, Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland in January vowed that Nordstream 2 would “not move forward” if Russia invaded Ukraine, “one way or another.”
“If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,” Nuland asserted.

The CIA even warned Germany sometime during the summer that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline would likely be a target of sabotage, Der Spiegel reported.
Notably, the two pipelines that run from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea were not servicing natural gas to Germany due to the EU’s sanctions against Russia.
German and U.S. officials claimed Tuesday the “unprecedented” damage to the pipelines was the result of sabotage.
Sec Blinken cites initial reports that the nord stream leaks may be the result of an attack or sabotage, which he says are not confirmed. But if they are confirmed he says such an attack is “in no one’s interest.”

“We can’t imagine a scenario that isn’t a targeted attack. Everything speaks against a coincidence,” a German government source told Der Tagesspiegel.
Denmark came to the same conclusion, claiming the leaks were the result of a “deliberate act.”

Sweden’s National Seismology Center claimed there were underwater blasts in the area near the pipelines with a magnitude reading of 2.3.

An advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky quickly blamed the incident on Russia.
“‘Gas leak’ from NS-1 is nothing more that a terrorist attack planned by Russia and an act of aggression towards EU. [Russia] wants to destabilize economic situation in Europe and cause pre-winter panic. The best response and security investment — tanks for [Ukraine]. Especially German ones…”

Former Polish Defense Minister and EU Parliament Member Radek Sikorski – no sympathizer of Russia – credited the U.S. government with blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines in the wake of Poland and Norway opening up an 850-kilometer natural gas pipeline through Denmark the day before.

Russia’s UN representative Dmitry Polyanskiy agreed with Sikorski’s assessment, saying: “Thank you, @radeksikorski for making it crystal clear who stands behind this terrorist-style targeting of civilian infrastructure!”

Biden and Nuland’s threats suggest that, regardless of who is responsible for the sabotage, the leaks benefit the Biden administration and European Union globalists more than Russia, as natural gas has already been cut off from Europeans for months.
A key tenet of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda calls for a shift away from fossil fuels, including natural gas, in favor of renewables to address the “climate crisis.”
From the WEF:
A clean energy transition led by major economies is essential for attaining net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and any delay in progress over the coming years could make this target unattainable.
In addition, sacrificing further progress toward a low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed focus on this economic weakness.
Protests against the sanctions – largely censored by corporate media – erupted in Germany, France, Belgium, and other countries in recent weeks, with the people calling to resume natural gas imports via Nord Stream 2.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told the EU earlier this month that it could import as much natural gas it wanted if it simply lifted the sanctions against Russia.
“The bottom line is,” said Putin, “if you have an urge, if it’s so hard for you, just lift the sanctions on Nord Stream 2, which is 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year, just push the button and everything will get going.”
Experts say the NS 1 and NS 2 could be shut down permanently – let alone rendered inoperable through the winter – depending on the severity of the damage to the pipelines.
“Depending on the scale of the damage, the leaks could even mean a permanent closure of both lines,” analysts Henning Gloystein and Jason Bush wrote.
Meanwhile, the German government is reportedly already making efforts to quell “speculation” about who is behind the sabotage.
