John Helmer asserts it as fact, in a post republished by Naked Capitalism: The Bornholm Blow-Up Repeats the Bornholm Bash — Poland Attacks Germany and Blames Russia It’s an interesting thesis. The idea is that the primary target of the sabotage was Germany. The bottom line remains the same—the US is the actual responsible party. Nobody pretends that Poland did this without approval from the Neocon Junta in DC. In fact, Helmer claims that Poland did this with assistance not only from the US but also from the Danish and Swedish militaries. The intro from a much longer post:
So the US deep state, in charge of the deep military which is actually competent and not woke, decides who "lives" with energy and who "dies" without energy?
This takes the concept of the petrodollar to its logical conclusion, I guess.
Does anyone have the straight scoop (I know, that's a lot to ask in this crazy conflict) on the volume and type of gas that was in the NS1 and NS2 pipes when they exploded? For a pipeline that was minimally/provisionally operating and another that wasn't even commissioned, there was a heck of a lot of pressure welling up to the surface. I get that even inoperative pipelines require pressurization/equalization for structural integrity, but was what was (is?) bubbling up to the surface actually days' worth (at $600+ mill a pop) of actual Gazprom natgas or some inert pressurization gas? I've seen both reported. If the former, why so much gas in those pipes? Just surprised that the Greta choir isn't apoplectic all over the news right now.

This wasn't just an act of sabotage; it was an act of war. I agree, Mark. This doesn't bode well.
Really? We all knew who did it... Cui bono?
