“Trust me, there will be NO Nordstream Pipeline”
- Joe Biden

[tomsawer]

Biden: "If Russia invades...then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2."
Reporter: "But how will you do that, it's in germany's control?"
Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that."

The Russian representative to the UN asks the question:
- Who has always been against Russian gas pipelines?
Everyone answers in unison:
- USA
- Who interfered with the construction?
- USA
- Who imposed sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline?
- USA
- Who threatened to destroy the gas pipelines?
- USA
- Who destroyed the gas pipelines?
- We do not know.

This whole story is 🐟. They all think we dumb.

There is one country in the world which is behind almost every conflict on earth

[markogle]

Biden said he would do it. Biden did it.

[Tommaso_Squarzoni]

Didn’t Biden said “we are going to stop NordStream one way or another” !?

[LaurelsChannel]

Dear CNN, literally no one thinks Russia did this. We aren't that stupid. Please stop.

[newsgo]

It's a tragedy that the whole world knows who did this, even the Europe, but no one can do anything.

[cordellporter]

Um, doesn't Russia simply have to turn off the pipeline without destroying it?

[beckettman]

Biden flat out said he would do it and why in February.

That was a short episode of CSI.

Truer words in geopolitics have not been spoken since Henry Kissinger’s statement: “To be America’s enemy may be dangerous, but to be America’s friend is deadly.”

Why is CNN not covering the drones that have been seen by platform personnel, flying around both Danish and Norwegian gas production platforms?

[Jim-xzew]

Sabotage ? No kidding. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

[TheXaminedLife]

Why would Russia damage their own pipeline when they could just close the valve? It's a short term problem that forces Germany to find a long term alternative source of gas.

[yvonneyork]

Blaming this on Russia makes no sense. Why would Russia deliberately destroy its strongest bargaining chip in re-establishing trade with Germany & destroy its billion dollar infrastructure, when they could turn off the tap? They don't need to damage their infrastructure to not honor their contracts, it was Germany through EU pressure that refused to honor the contract to purchase.

America’s politician has no limits and bottom line

[StoriesandAdventures]

And the Americans don’t have the balls to say that they did it.

[VL-inquisitor]

I fully agree with one of the speakers who said 'we should look at who might benefit from this?' while speaking about who was behind Nord Stream Pipeline sabotages. Besides looking at motives (ie the benefit question), one also need to investigate who has the technology and military might to do so. With both of these questions addressed, the suspect becomes so obvious.

The world should loathe the party responsible for the sabotage. First, this is a deliberate act to cause massive environmental damage. Second, non-military targets are the subject of attacks. And that in turn affects the likelihood of their end-users (energy consumers in Europe) and its investors (Russia primarily, followed by Germany, Dutch and France). And lastly, we shall not understate the consequence of someone opening the 'pandora box' - an extremely bad precedent for conflicting parties to destroy civilian infra-structures and utilities.

Brandon -"If Russia goes into Ukraine, there won’t be a Nord Stream 2"

CNN -"Putin did it"
