did we ever find out the results of the investigation on what happened to the nordstream? my dad, over thanksgiving break, was telling me the US was behind it

Still unknown. I'm highly skeptical Russia or the US did it. This guy did some good analysis:

even if the US did do it. Europe needed to be freed as you would free someone from drug addiction

I think the US/UK would have released Intel by now proving it. IMO- It also doesn't make much sense for Russia to have done it. Moscow was still pushing for the pipe to come online up until its destruction.

it was most likely RU, obviously.

i could see a motive on the allied side as well.

i dont think we are talking about leopards being on their way to UKR if that line is still open.

russia is not a rational actor in this. they do irrational things. like blow up the pipe line to try and force germany into a cold winter. that would lead to germany trying to force nato into a truce somehow.

hahaha. they are nervous as fuck.


the modern era of internet, video, and tech exposes them

well, the only way that makes sense is if they are irrational, because the only logical plan in that scenario is to keep the pipe as a bargaining chip.

I don't see a strong Russian motive. Like you said- if the pipeline was still open, Germany probably would be much less inclined to send additional lethal aide such as Leopard 2 tanks. Moscow no longer has that leverage.

invading a country with 40m people during the spring thaw kinda irrational?

yes, which is why one would need to question if they are in fact rational, or smart.

a cold germany public forces their leadership to do even more.

Strongly disagree with that.
