Reply to comment by bottleboy8 in Russians did such a good job promoting renewable energy and electric vehicles this year. by darth_nadoma

Yes while the us undoubtedly benefited from this i have serious trouble believing they would risk a diplomatic incident of this magnitude. Sabotaging the energy infrastructure of a nato ally would put the alliance at rist and i dont think even the turbo capitalists across the pond would rist that for some short term financial gain. The us also benefits from the ukraine war as a whole but i think its a stretch to assume cia put putin up to it.

I expect it was agreed beforehand in a very backroom agreement that this was the best method to deny Russia its pressure tool & making something that was almost certain but unpredictable into a predictable certainty & stopping political fallout for the receiving countries from "we don't want to dance to Putin's tune even though he could alleviate current inflation".

It costs some extra euros but that more than weighs up for the prevention of active societal unrest.

So you are saying you think NATO all agreed and killed the pipeline?

This was a NATO(supperted) military operation, yes. Only way to pull it off.

I have no objections if it was a unanimous NATO decision then. Good for them.
