Seems a bit out of character for Putin. Who knows.....other ways to retaliate and if he's smart he won't do it in a kneejerk reaction. Just doesn't make sense for him to destroy his biggest income stream that eventually would go back online.

Also the plot to take down Nord Stream was started about 3 months earlier.

Russia could have used the pipeline as a stick/carrot against Europe's involvement in Ukraine. If the US blows it up Europe is forced to seek another avenue for energy.

They had a financial interest in blowing it. Cost of repairing it is estimated at $500m. Billions of fines vs $500m is an easy choice. If the CIA blew it up the damage would be in deep water with multiple areas of damage. This thing was blown in the most convenient area for repair.

Hotly contested? It was made up bullshit by a guy that hadn’t broke a major story in over a decade. If the CIA was going to blow that pipeline they would’ve done it at a depth where the Russians would have a difficult time repairing it.

How do you know how difficult it will be to repair and you don't know that the admin wouldn't want it to be in a location easier to repair. After all our allies will eventually use it. Taking it out could simply been an attempt at a shot across Russia's bow so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between underwater construction at 100m vs 200m is significant. If this was the US CIA they would’ve done a much more thorough job at a much deeper depth to keep the pipeline offline as long as possible. The difference could’ve been years vs months.

Shallow water could just as much mean the US as Russia or anyone else. The US even said no matter what Nord Stream 2 wouldn't move forward.
