    Firstly, the person supplying this information would not be considered an independent source of information. Having worked for the Danish military you never know, he might have planted the explosives lol...

    Lets look at the timeline of the lead up to the explosions. How about we start around the time of the invasion.

    26th Jan 2022
    There is a diplomatic effort to try to resolve the issues prior to the invasion. The main thing at the time was to stop Ukraine from joining NATO. This is what Russia fears most at that time. It was taken off the table by Blinken. Has anyone seen what happens when a dog is pushed into a corner and is prodded with sticks?

    Biden sabre rattling. Here is a video from that date along with additional news articles where Biden says 'he will end Nord Stream'

    From here onwards the likelihood of the pipeline coming back online was not possible.

    Again unlikely the pipeline will come back online

    The pipeline could be re-opened if the parts for the pipeline were able to be supplied.

    Demonstrations within Germany to end the support of Ukraine and get the Nord Stream pipelines back online. I wonder what would the US think of this potential threat to the cohesive alliance of the European countries??? Probably wouldn't be a good outcome and the solidarity would start to crumble.

    Then the explosion occurs (on the same day as the protests).
    No way for the Germans to get the gas from Nord Stream pipelines ever again. Biden's wishes have come true.

    I believe US is now shipping a lot of gas to the Euro area. There are complaints from Euro partners that the US gas is cheap but they are being charged excessive amounts. The destruction of the pipeline keeps the prices the Europeans are paying sky high.

    I ask the question... Who has the most to gain from blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines?
