Reply to comment by Vahlir in Dutch intelligence services have warned that Russia is "covertly mapping" key energy infrastructure in the North Sea, in preparation for possible sabotage attacks. by green_flash

Allied coalition sabotage of the pipeline is entirely plausible. Did one reporter even ask about the txt leak?

I'm not saying it happened, but presuming your government wouldn't do it gives them room to do it without question.

I'm totally open to the possibility that someone in the West blew up Nord Stream. Any evidence that may exist is not in the public domain. For good reasons, because it might be embarrassing, might cause a diplomatic incident, or it could be a trigger for a wider war.

It's just that, on balance, and particularly taking into account past behaviours, access to the pipeline, and who would benefit the most from it, someone from Russia (not necessarily the Russian government) is by some distance the most likely candidate.

I totally agree, but presumed western influence on the same logic.
