It is reported that on September 26 local time, the natural gas pipelines of "Beixi No. 1" and "Beixi No. 2" successively exploded, and then three pipelines leaked. According to the detection results of the Danish Earthquake Network, the explosion of the "North Stream" pipeline triggered a shock equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 2.3.
Because the explosion occurred in the waters near Denmark , the Danish Air Force also dispatched military aircraft to reconnaissance the explosion site. Through reconnaissance, it was found that the leaked natural gas had spread to an area with a diameter of 700 meters in the nearby sea area. Once the leak of the "Northern Stream" pipeline was reported, it immediately triggered panic in Europe because it meant that Europe could not continue to obtain natural gas from Russia until this winter came.
Due to the imposition of sanctions on Russia's energy field, Europe is currently facing a very serious energy crisis, and many European countries are destined to have a very difficult winter.
Now that the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline is leaking, it is even worse for Europe. Therefore, European countries hope to find out the cause of the pipeline explosion as soon as possible and restore gas supply as soon as possible.
There are many different opinions on the reason for the explosion of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline. The most common statement is that some countries deliberately do the explosion. This speculation was confirmed by the Danish Prime Minister.
According to reports, the Danish Prime Minister recently publicly stated that according to relevant evidence, the explosion of the natural gas pipeline in the "North Stream" was an incident of "deliberate destruction", but she would not guess who was behind the scenes.
Russia also stated that it is suspected that someone had damaged the "Northern Stream" natural gas pipeline, but it needs to be confirmed through investigation. But the outside world seems to be unanimous in its view that the United States deliberately created an explosion that caused the pipeline to leak.
analysis believes that it is definitely not Russia and European countries that deliberately destroy the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, because they are the victims of this explosion, and destroying the pipeline will not be of any benefit to them.
According to this logic, the real mastermind behind it is easy to guess, because after the explosion of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, the only one who benefits seem to be the United States.
It is reported that after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has been putting pressure on Europe, hoping that it will sanction Russia's energy industry. Meanwhile, the United States is trying hard to sell its natural gas to Europe.
After the explosion of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, Europe will import natural gas from the United States, so the United States is the most reasonable party to take action.
In addition, in February this year, before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, Biden issued a warning to Russia, saying that if Russia "invades" Ukrainian , the United States will end " Nord Stream 2 ". He also emphasized that the United States will definitely do it.
Of course, the above is just a traditional speculation method. To prove that the United States is indeed the mastermind behind the destruction of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline, evidence is still needed. It is very strong evidence that US military aircraft have been exposed to approaching relevant waters.
It is reported that since September 2, the U.S. Navy MH-60S helicopter has been flying densely over two underwater natural gas pipelines east of Bornholm Island.
When the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline exploded, US military aircraft held an exercise nearby. Therefore, some analysts believe that the mastermind behind this explosion is the United States, and US military aircraft are practicing in nearby waters to practice how to put explosives on the bottom of the sea.
In addition, a US military amphibious assault ship was also revealed to have approached the "North Stream One" and "North Stream Two" natural gas pipelines, with distances of 30 kilometers and 50 kilometers respectively.
Therefore, based on the previous abnormal mobilization of the US military and the gains and losses of all parties after the explosion of the "North Stream" pipeline, the United States is obviously the most likely to be the mastermind behind the explosion.
U.S. Secretary of State Blinken made an emergency clarification on the outside world’s suspicion of the United States. He said that destroying the natural gas pipelines of "North Stream 1" and "North Stream 2" will not be beneficial to the United States.
But is this really the case? As we all know, the United States is a country that prioritizes interests.The reason why the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out is because the United States continues to fan the flames for its own interests.
The damage to the "North Stream" gas pipeline is obviously profitable for the United States, because it will make Europe have to consider importing natural gas from the United States in order to survive the winter.
So, Blinken's clarification is not convincing. And after this incident fermented, former Polish Polish Foreign Minister Sikorsky posted on social platforms saying: Thank you, the United States, obviously he knows something. However, the Russian side is still investigating the truth about the destruction of the "North Stream" natural gas pipeline. So whether the United States is really the mastermind behind the scenes still needs to wait for the results of the investigation.
