The Northern Stream accident cast a shadow on the situation in Eastern Europe again. While international media are paying attention to the scrapping of important Russian natural gas pipelines, speculations about who is the "master of the scenes" have also appeared in reports from media in various countries, but none of these reports have conclusive evidence. However, the accident investigation finally turned around because British media revealed that American military aircraft were photographed flying repeatedly at low altitudes over the waters of the incident.
As a week ago, Sweden and Denmark announced at the same time that the Nord Stream pipeline accident was not caused by natural factors, but premeditated sabotage action. Subsequently, the two countries again pointed out that the tool that directly caused the damage to the Nord Stream pipeline was high-strength explosives. However, neither Sweden nor Denmark pointed out which country planned and implemented the matter. But don’t forget that if you don’t know others, you will not do it yourself. Now the media has released “important evidence”.
" Reuters " pointed out that someone once photographed a US military aircraft, which had repeatedly flew over the sea area where the Nord Stream pipeline was destroyed, and seemed to be looking for something that other countries did not know on the sea surface of the Baltic Sea . To put it bluntly, this report from British media is hinting that the US military has no relationship with the Nord Stream pipeline being bombed. In fact, this is not the first time that the media has reported that US military aircraft has appeared in the waters of the incident.
A few days ago, Russian media released some photos, pointing out that US military aircraft appeared near the Nord Stream pipeline many times, and even flew over the sea area where the incident occurred before the Nord Stream leaked. Combined with the Russian Foreign Ministry’s pointing out that “whoever benefits is the murderer”, the United States seems to have become the “number one suspect” pointed out by evidence. It is worth mentioning that this is also the view of most netizens and media. After all, the motives of the United States are too obvious.
In the past year, the Biden administration has requested EU to be deeply cut from Russia, and at the same time, it requires Germany to completely freeze Nord Stream 2. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Beixi No. 2 was completely inscribed into the cold palace. At the same time, EU countries have also embarked on the road of anti-Russia and have completely broken up with Russia. Subsequently, Russia and Europe's natural gas trade encountered a cold winter, and Russia no longer exported large quantities of natural gas.
And such a natural gas winter also gives the United States a chance. US LNG merchant ships continue to travel between the United States and the European Union, sending a large amount of US liquefied natural gas to EU countries. EU countries have lost not only a large amount of funds, but also completely lost their energy independence and can only rely heavily on the "sky-high" natural gas from the United States.
For the beneficiaries of the US-European natural gas trade, the United States certainly hopes that the EU will rely more and more on the United States, or even forever. If such an idea becomes a reality, then expelling Russian natural gas will become the top priority. And it happened that at this time, the Nord Stream pipeline exploded, and there was no possibility of transporting natural gas to EU countries in a short period of time.
Such a coincidence can happen, who else can it be if it is not the United States. Of course, it is impossible for the United States and extremely pro-American countries to admit similar speculations. Not only that, the United States and its allies even bit back, pointing out that Russia is the "master behind the Nord Stream accident, with the purpose of undermining the "unity" between the United States and the EU and thus allowing Russia to seek a glimmer of vitality.
However, this statement is untenable, because the existence of the Nord Stream pipeline will allow Russia to occupy a partial initiative on the Russian-European issue. Without these pipelines, EU countries may no longer compromise with Russia, because even if it is compromise, they will not be able to obtain enough natural gas.
Therefore, Russia cannot be the "master behind the Nord Stream accident. In conjunction with the "US military aircraft in the waters" that have been leaked by foreign media one after another, "the United States is the biggest vested interest", then it is very clear who the real "master behind the scenes" is.
