You jumped on this story, but no mention of Poland blaming the US for this sabotage? Interesting.

[mikusoxlongius]

Let's think a minute, who would this benefit and who threatened previously?

[jakelloyd]

Seeing that Russia already turned them off at the switch, this is beyond stupid. Meanwhile, multiple US naval frigates are in the area and Norway & Poland just opened their brand new pipeline on the same day.

Why would Russia destroy their own pipeline? This was a source of income. It was not even running at the time?? I don't think it was Russia. This all needs to stop it's getting out of hand.

BIDEN: "There will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it." REPORTER: "How will you do that, exactly? Since the project and control of the project is within Germany's control?" BIDEN: "I promise you we'll be able to do it."

Biden literally said he would do this.

Someone out there trying to start a world war.

The 'Blame Russia' agenda is getting extremely old and played out.

[poppystars]

Ya right! Blowing up their own pipelines. Sounds reasonable!

[Dudewheresmycar]

We all know our government did this lol

[sweetaddictiontoawesomenes]

Yeah, they'll attack their own pipelines.

[neil]

LMAO. Only people who watch CBS News would believe this.

[RyanHellyer]

Isn't this more likely to be the USA or one of the Baltic states, or Poland, or Ukraine, or pretty much everyone who has a vested interest in preventing the sale of gas to Europe?

It doesn't seem very logical to me for Russia to do this, since it was their main bargaining chip.

[aspinx]

Really? They probably forgot where the turn off switch is and decided to just blow it up. Secretly. Makes total sense. Love these spin doctors.

[StalinTheManfSteel]

Thank's to mainstream "news" in America, the word "accused" means nothing anymore.

[AmateurHourEconomics]

Russia spent billions to build this pipeline… why would they destroy it?

[johnmiranda]

FSB or CIA? War is good for the war profiteers.

[pureblood]

Why would Russia sabotage its pipeline when all they have to do is close a valve to shut it off?

[Squishay]

Russia wouldn't blow up their own pipeline.
