>Russia has an interest in sowing energy chaos amongst European countries.
There was as much energy chaos before as there was after.
The presence of a stopped pipeline simply meant that there was an off switch on the energy chaos in Germany that could be flipped - presumably a switch that comes with Russian strings attached.
Somebody was pretty desperate to remove that off switch from Germany's hands.
It's also a switch that, if flipped, would render a multibillion dollar investment in LNG port capacity instantaneously worthless.
- syzarian 4y agoI don’t know all the nuances of the deal between Germany and Russia and I suspect neither do you. Is it plausible that a NATO country wanted to blow it up? Yes. It is also plausible that Putin or some faction within his government wanted it blown up. We who are not in the intelligence services don’t have enough information.
