Reply to comment by Myrskyharakka in Lithuanian gas pipeline hit by large explosion by NewSouthWalesMan

Do you think they would publicly admit if it was a sabotage?

Almost certainly, and Lithuanian government would call for more actions from NATO to safeguard Baltic infrastructure from Russian sabotage.

Why the fuck would you not publicly announce "hey someone is attacking our infrastructure!" In a case like this.

Jeezus you conspiracy nuts are wild.

There are many reasons why they would not admit it. One would be that they would admit that Russia has capabilities of executing such operation and there is no need to elevate fear in the population.

You need to chill a bit. If I really was a conspiracy crazy person so you think personal attack is a way to go? Definitely not, that only alienates conspiracy theorists and we need to deal with flat earthers, anti vaxxers, 9/11 deniers, whole maga nonsense and more.

Did discussion and debate died on internet?

I'm not sure what your viewpoint is and how much you have been following the Baltic politics on the subject, but hushing something like this would be quite the opposite of how Lithuania has acted in the past years. They have been repeatedly warning that the Baltic countries are vulnerable and that NATO and the West should reinforce them before Russia acts. An act of sabotage would in a fact be a proof that those fears are very real.

True. However I understand they may want to be careful with initial press release and keep the information flow behind the public. There was a medial mess after rocket hit Poland territory last year.
