"Northern Stream" natural gas pipeline is two pipelines transported by Russian natural gas to Europe, ensuring that European countries can obtain cheap natural gas supplies from Russia.
" Nord Stream-1" natural gas pipeline starts from Vyborg, Russia in the east and leads to Germany through the seabed of the Baltic Sea . It was ventilated in 2011 and is the main gas pipeline for Russia to Europe.
" Nord Stream-2" is a cooperative project between Gazprom and five European companies. It was completed in September 2021 and gas injection was completed in December.
As EU continues to increase sanctions on Russia on , the EU triggers a strong counterattack from Russia. On September 2, Gazpromium Corporation (Gasoline) announced that the "North Stream-1" natural gas pipeline would completely stop gas transmission until the troubleshooting was solved.
. Although "North Stream-2" is designed to transport 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia to Europe every year, due to the opposition from the United States and the new German government, "North Stream-2" has not been able to obtain an operating license.
"North Stream-2" cannot be used, so "North Stream-1" is the only pipeline that can transport natural gas from Russia to Europe. However, due to the sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries on Russia and Russia’s counterattack, EU countries can only obtain a small amount of natural gas from Russia.
This situation has caused all EU countries that support sanctions against Russia to fall into an energy crisis, and has also caused serious inflation , which has caused the people of European countries, especially those with northern European countries that cannot keep warm in the winter.
This forced European countries to import LNG from the United States through luck ships to avoid the outcome of no natural gas available. This allowed the United States to make huge wealth from Europe in a nearly open way of robbing, and a ship could make $150 million.
Without Russian natural gas, Europe is very hurt, but the United States makes a lot of money.
However, the "North Stream-1" natural gas pipeline still retains a little hope for the EU, that is, Russia can restore the normal transportation of the "North Stream-1" natural gas pipeline at any time to solve the natural gas crisis in European countries. Yesterday, a large-scale demonstration broke out in Germany, requiring the German government to immediately use the Nord Stream-2 to import natural gas from Russia.
It’s a pity that this dream of European countries was disillusioned yesterday.
Because, both "North Stream" natural gas pipelines were bombed.
The first explosion was the "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline, which was on the afternoon of September 26th, near Bornholm Island, Denmark.
hours later, the "North Stream-1" natural gas pipe exploded continuously at two locations in Denmark and Sweden , respectively.
Denmark Air Force sent fighter jets to capture the bubbles at the leakage of the natural gas pipeline of " Nord Stream 2" rising to the surface of the Baltic Sea, forming a "bubble circle" with a diameter of more than 1 km.
That is to say, the damage caused by the explosion to the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline is huge.
The European countries currently involved believe that the continuous "leakage" of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline is an explosion. Among them, German security officials have said there is evidence that this is a violent act, not a technical issue.
Of course, there are two natural gas pipelines that may continuously leak technically within one day!
Danish Prime Minister Frazier Rixson claimed that she "can't rule out" the possibility of deliberate destruction.
, and the measurement stations in Sweden and Denmark recorded strong underwater explosions, among which the Swedish National Earthquake Network also recorded two obvious explosions, one of which was , magnitude 2.3.
All facts point to the fact that the two "North Stream" natural gas pipelines were attacked by planned explosions.
So, who did it?
First of all, it depends on who will make the profit or who will make the most profit in blowing up the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline.
The logic is very simple. After the explosion, the profiter or the person who makes the most profit is often the biggest suspect.
So, who will make the profit or who will make the most profit by blowing up the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline?
At present, it seems that there are two countries, one is the United States and the other is Ukraine .
US media NBC's comment on the bombing of the "North Stream" natural gas management was very straightforward, saying that this accident made Europe, which was already panicked, expectation of the remaining gas obtained through "North Stream-1" to become vanished before winter.
Without the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, it means completely losing Russia's natural gas. Then European countries can only purchase prices from the United States several times higher and cannot guarantee sufficient amount of liquefied natural gas. The United States has won the money.
For Ukraine, if European countries completely cut off Russian natural gas, they will become more hostile to Russia and will support themselves without any scruples. Obviously, Ukraine is also one of the profitable people.
For Russia, there is no benefit to the explosion of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, and it is purely the main loss. First, it will cost huge amounts of money to repair it, and second, the bombing of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline has also made Russia lose its bargaining chips with Europe's asking price.
so Russia can be directly excluded.
Secondly, it depends on whether the suspect has the motivation to bomb Russia's "North Stream" natural gas pipeline.
Ukraine may have a motivation to explode the "Northern Stream" natural gas pipeline, but it does not necessarily dare to do it. Because of blowing up the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, it will not only be subject to greater revenge from Russia, but also completely offend some European countries that are still counting on the "North Stream" to transport natural gas.
Ukraine is considered to be a thief who has a thief heart and no courage!
America, of course, there is enough motivation and not afraid of anything.
On February 7 this year, Biden publicly declared at a press conference after meeting with German Chancellor Scholz that as long as Russia invades Ukraine, there will be no more "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline.
When a reporter asked Biden "how to do this", Biden's answer was "I promise you that we will be able to do this."
Third, it depends on whether the suspect has the ability to bomb Russia's "North Stream" natural gas pipeline.
"North Stream" natural gas pipeline is not an ordinary project, nor is it ordinary tightening. It is impossible to destroy it through ordinary explosions.
Where is Ukraine, which is fighting against Russia? If you want to blow up the "North Stream", you will have to operate across countries and you don't have that ability at all.
means that even if Ukraine has the courage, it does not have that ability.
The United States is different, both of which have the heart and courage, and the ability to blow up the "North Stream".
More importantly, in addition to the motivation and ability to blow up the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, the US military also conducted military exercises near the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline.
On September 2, six U.S. fighter jets were active in the area, with flight trajectories either flying along the Nord Stream-2 pipeline or even flying between the two pipeline explosion sites.
On September 13, the US military's amphibious assault ship "Kilsach" appeared near Bornholm Island , 30 kilometers away from the site where the "North Stream-1" natural gas pipeline was destroyed and 50 kilometers away from the pipeline of the "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline.
The US military used not only to blow up the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, but there are not only a lot of weapons!
So, who would you say that the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline would be blown up?
