Even if you are a connoisseur of conspiracy theories, this comment is bullshit. The pipelines in question actually did not carry any natural gas at the time of the explosion. Both pipelines of Nord Stream 1 were destroyed but deliveries by Russia had been stopped well before that in retaliation to German/EU sanctions. One of the two pipelines of Nord Stream 2 was destroyed, but that project was never activated, due to a decision by Germany's government to cancel certification after Russia's attack on Ukraine.

> conspiracy theories What? The pipeline didn't blow up by itself, so some party had to conspire to blow it up.

  There is currently no evidence whatsoever that the US was involved in the attack on the pipeline in any way. To the best of my knowledge, the current best lead is a group of allegedly Ukrainian nationals who hired a private boat and were in the area where the explosions happened during the time in question. Ukraine is denying any involvement (of course) and the people in question have not been apprehended. The only reasoning that currently points to the US is that they would have the technical capabilities and a motive, but that applies to dozens of actors, including Russia.

    Biden made public utterances that falls within him admitting the USA would attack the pipeline, so that's at least some evidence. But no matter who committed the terrorist attack, they for sure conspired to do it. The attack is a conspiracy by definition and by law, so any speculation as to the culprit will be a conspiracy theory - including your speculation that it was Ukrainians.

Okay so Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh is just a conspiracy theorist with this article where he brings all the receipts that the US blew it up? Where Biden, weeks earlier, literally said the USA was going to blow it up? https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the...
