Natural gas explosions are common, most of which are caused by accidents. But it is indeed shocking to say that someone deliberately destroyed the natural gas pipeline and caused it to explode. Recently, two underwater explosions occurred in Russia's European natural gas pipeline " Nordic Stream-1" and " Nordic Stream-2", with earthquake magnitude reaching magnitude 2.3, and , and there are data records of earthquake measurement stations in the south of Sweden. So, if these two natural gas explosions were really deliberate destruction, which country was the main messenger behind the scenes?
"Northern Stream" pipeline leak incident
As we all know, in Europe, there are three major energy sources that rely on imported coal, source oil and natural gas. "Beixi Natural Gas Pipelines No. 1 and No. 2" are two important natural gas pipelines transported from Russia to Europe. Nord Stream 1 natural gas pipeline and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline have a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers. In addition to Denmark and Sweden, the territorial waters passing through also Finland . Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia's natural gas energy transported to Europe has also been greatly reduced.
Recently, foreign media reported that "two underwater explosions occurred in the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline." Moreover, Bjorn Lund, associate professor of seismology at the Swedish National Earthquake Network, said: "This time, in the seas involved in the explosion, you can clearly see how the waves rebounded directly from the bottom to the water surface. This explosion is equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake, and nearly 30 measurement stations in southern Sweden have also detected this explosion."
In addition, Denmark also confirmed that the news of the Nord Stream pipeline explosion is true. In a press conference, the Danish Prime Minister said in a comprehensive assessment that the leakage of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline was not an accident, but a deliberate destruction by other countries.
As soon as this news was sent, many netizens were not calm and left messages saying: "I feel that the relationship between Russia and Germany is now connected by this natural gas channel. If there is no such pipeline, Russia would have no expectations, so it is possible that the United States has tampered with it."
" The natural gas leak and explosion in the Nord Stream pipeline is not a good thing, and this winter seems to be not easy to live. ""On this issue, the United States has probably seen that blowing up the pipeline will not be of any benefit to Russia, and it is the party that makes a profit." "What the United States can do now is to clear the relationship. Is it done by the United States? It is estimated that only the United States knows best."
Which country is referring to the deliberate destruction of other countries?
It can be said that what can completely collapse the relationship between Russia and the entire Europe is to destroy the Nord Stream pipeline, and the United States is the one who gains the greatest benefit from it. So, is this pipeline intentionally destroyed? Is it done by the United States? The reason why
pointed the finger at the United States is because the United States opposed the Nord Stream plan from the beginning, because Nord Stream directly provides energy for Germany, which led to the German attitude towards the Russian-Ukrainian incident being swaying left and right. Once this energy supply pipeline is cut off, the ties between Germany and Russia will be completely cut off, so this is also a reason why the United States deliberately does it.
In addition, the cold winter is about to enter, and the energy supply needed by European countries is particularly important. Once this important Nord Stream natural gas pipeline is destroyed, it will intensify the tension in Europe's energy supply, and the United States can take advantage of the situation.
Is it intentional for the United States? From a political perspective, it may not be possible. First, we need to look at the location of the explosion. It is located in the waters of Denmark and Sweden. On the map, we measured that their distance is about 100 miles. means finding a speedboat with a speed of 60mph, and it takes about three hours to reach its destination. The first explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline was at 2 a.m. in Sweden. This period of time people are sleeping and resting. If they choose to commit crimes during this period of time, the purpose is to destroy the situation in the dark and not be easily discovered.
If it is done by the United States, there is no need for such sneaky behavior. That year, the Chinese Embassy was bombed, and the United States also admitted it. So this time we can see that if we want to give Russia a complete look, the United States does not need to do such a sneaky behavior. It can choose a method of vetoing it openly.
In addition, for , they have taken measures to intervene in with the strategy of sanctions, so for the United States, they will not waste their energy to do such hypocrites. So if it weren't for the United States, which country deliberately destroyed it?
There is an old saying in our China: "The thief shouts to catch the thief", because in this pipeline explosion, Denmark is the fastest and most active person. Moreover, in order to control the direction of public opinion, the Danish Prime Minister deliberately stated that it was another country who deliberately sabotaged the situation and specially dispatched military aircraft to shoot. So, if Denmark did it on purpose, what would be the benefit for him? In fact, in terms of politics, we can see that Denmark's move is undoubtedly a determination. Only by standing in the right team can there be good results.
What impact will damage to the Beixi pipeline have?
As of now, because the Nord Stream pipeline has been severely damaged, it is in a state of shutting down and repairs, and the impact it has caused is very great.
1. Russia and EU relations are becoming increasingly tense
Nord Stream pipeline leakage happens to occur at a very important critical time node. One is the new round of sanctions imposed by the EU on Russia, and the other is that Ukraine four eastern regions have completed the referendum. Against the backdrop of this Nord Stream pipeline leakage, the relationship between Russia and the EU will become increasingly tense.
For the EU, this is a manifestation of Russia's demonstration because they suspect that the deliberate sabotage of the natural gas pipeline was dominated by Russia, because it is a manifestation of Russia's ability to dominate the energy threat, under such self-depreciation speculation. The relationship between Russia and the EU will become increasingly intense.
2. Europe encounters an energy crisis
For EU countries, Nord Stream is an important natural gas pipeline. Now that this pipeline has been damaged, energy prices will definitely rise sharply, which makes the energy crisis worse and worse for the European people.
Overall, regardless of whether the damage to the Nord Stream pipeline is deliberately done or not, the impact it has is far-reaching. We hope that the world is peaceful, because only under peace can people's interests be guaranteed.
