leaked at the same time from the Russian gas transportation pipeline " Nordic-1" and " Nordic-2", which has been almost ten days since it was released. According to CCTV's report on October 4, Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov said that when the leak occurred in the "Northern Stream" pipeline, the United States happened to raise the price of its domestic liquefied gas. It seems to be a big deal. Peskov did not disclose who was the murderer of the pipeline, but he emphasized that some countries have the military and technical capabilities to deliberately destroy the pipeline.

It is reported that the "North Stream" pipeline is extremely strong, consisting of various alloys and is wrapped in concrete on the outer layer. The hole can only be broken unless hundreds of kilograms of explosives are maliciously used. Retired Colonel Glas McGregor, then a senior adviser to the US Department of Defense, said in an interview that the "North Stream" leak may have been caused by Britain and the United States.
Russian News also published a message saying that the night before the leak of the "Northern Stream" pipeline, the Russian flight radar website detected a US military helicopter flying near the pipeline.
As early as the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Biden also said in an interview that if Russia invades Ukraine, the "North Stream-2" pipeline will be "end" and White House denied that this remark was to destroy the pipeline, but was refuted by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova , emphasizing that the White House's clear intention is to "end" rather than "not allow operation".

From the domestic gas price increase and the previous remarks of the White House, and the US military does have the ability to complete the precise blast under the sea. The United States is the number one suspect, but other countries also have suspicions.

There is another pipeline in the place where the North Stream accident occurs - Baltic pipeline, which is through Norway , Denmark , and Poland. The two pipelines have an intersection, but what is interesting is that this new pipeline happens to be operating after the North Stream accident. Polish President , Prime Minister, Norway's President and Prime Minister have all inspected the Baltic pipeline. The pipeline that was expected to start operating in January 2023 will be put into operation in November.
Biden once claimed that the pipeline end end
Russia transports gas to Europe in total five routes, namely North Stream-1, North Stream-2, Yamal Pipeline, Blue Stream, and South Stream, which are distributed from north to south, and the middle and lower lines are Ukraine and Türkiye . The five pipelines convey gas volume at the same time, with a total of about 175 British-thermal units. Excluding Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, as well as the Yamal Pipeline passing through Ukraine, half of the overall Russian gas delivery capacity has been suspended.
By then, the geopolitical status of Europe's energy security structure will undergo subtle changes. Assuming that the Baltic Sea pipeline is completed as scheduled, the Nord Stream will be in a state of shutdown indefinitely, and the amount of Baltic gas transported is slightly surplus than the Nord Stream of , Poland will gain a new position in the European energy security structure.
In addition, Poland, as a regional sub-power, has certain military strength. If Poland really opens a new pipeline from North Sea in winter, Germany may seek Poland to make up for the domestic gas vacancies, and Poland's national status will rise sharply.
At present, Europe has called for investigations to be very loud, but it has not done much. Russia directly filed a public prosecution of terrorism and will use national security machines to investigate the matter. If the United States agrees to the investigation, Germany will also actively participate. After all, the delivery of gas by Poland will indirectly lead to the decline of Germany's status as a "gas hub" in the Central European region.
If the joint investigation is delayed and Poland starts construction with great fanfare, the latter will suffer more criticism. Everything remains to be proved by time.
