Sounds to me like Russia is saber rattling.We all pretty much know who did it. He promised it would be done. What is Russia going to do in response is a good question. I wonder if Putin looks at our news.

Van der Leyen's "strongest possible response" will be most likely be strong expressions of gratitude for making sure that the Nord Stream pipelines are permanently closed regardless of the wishes of voters in Europe.Just another coincidence
If smokey Joe didit what will be the strongest response from the EU?
Yes, and hundreds of millions of dollars in Russian natural gas just got blasted into the atmosphere.$11 billion invested
PLUS
expectation of selling how many times that in a year of gas.?
Oh my ozone layers.Yes, and hundreds of millions of dollars in Russian natural gas just got blasted into the atmosphere.
Nord Stream gas leaks may be biggest ever, with warning of ‘large climate risk’
‘Colossal amount’ of leaked methane, twice initial estimates, is equivalent to third of Denmark’s annual CO2 emissions or 1.3 million cars.grist.org
Putin did not get to be head of the KGB and president of Russia by being stupid.
Godzilla?Why does this thread remind me of "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?"
lol.Oh my ozone layers.
Fear not. Putin may have nucs but we have Joe Biden trannie brigade.lol.
Some ozone is badder than other ozone.
How will the climate Preisthood stop lightning which creates ozone?
And General Woke: Thoroughly Modern General Milley.Fear not. Putin may have nucs but we have Joe Biden trannie brigade.
Listening to her, she is as crazy as Zelensky.Van der Leyen's "strongest possible response" will be most likely be strong expressions of gratitude for making sure that the Nord Stream pipelines are permanently closed regardless of the wishes of voters in Europe.
Here is the English text of Putin's speech.Sounds to me like Russia is saber rattling.
Washington is demanding more and more sanctions against Russia, and most European politicians meekly agree with this. They clearly understand that the United States, pushing through the EU’s complete rejection of Russian energy carriers and other resources, is practically leading to the de-industrialization of Europe, to completely taking over the European market – they understand everything, these elites are European, they understand everything, but prefer to serve the interests of others. This is no longer servility, but a direct betrayal of their peoples. But God bless them, that’s their business.
But sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they switched to sabotage – unbelievable, but true – having organized explosions on the international gas pipelines of the Nord Stream, which run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, they actually began to destroy the pan-European energy infrastructure. It is clear to everyone who benefits from this. Who benefits, he did, of course.
Yes Putin benefits the greatest. He can play the victim card. Glad it's not working.Here is the English text of Putin's speech.
Text of Putin's Speech Blasting 'Neo-Colonial' West
The Russian president on Friday slammed the West for a history of abuse against the rest of the world as he announced that four Ukrainian oblasts had joined the Russian Federation. [English translation from the Kremlin website]: In the Georgievsky Hall of the Kremlin, a cconsortiumnews.com
Here is an excerpt with comments about the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines and the situation in Europe:
I think we've seen it. By permanently annexing the parts of Ukraine they've laid down a predicate for using tactical nuclear weapons essentially daring the West to counter with nuclear weapons if they've got the nerve. This is about as dangerous as situation as we have ever faced. We have essentially locked ourselves into a scenario where everyone's minimum face saving move inevitably leads us to nuclear war.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki joined the Swedes Tuesday in calling the new leaks an act of sabotage.Sabotage suspected in breach of Nord Stream Russian gas line
The breaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines caused natural gas to bubble up through the Baltic Sea.nypost.com
“We can clearly see that this is an act of sabotage, an act that probably means a next step of escalation in the situation that we are dealing with in Ukraine,” he said.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said foul play could not be ruled out, and a German government source told the newspaper Tagesspiegel, “We can’t imagine a scenario that isn’t a targeted attack.”

What will the Ruskies do in response?
Yes Putin benefits the greatest. He can play the victim card.
Pipeline killer Joe.I would guess "patriots" will blame Biden at this point no matter what evidence comes to light.
Earlier this month, a US Navy Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopter spent hours loitering over the location of the damaged natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea near Bornholm for several days in a row, September 1, 2, and 3, in particular . . . Flightradar24 showed an unidentified aircraft that did not even have a helicopter icon hovering over the site. However, the aircraft's 24-bit ICAO code included in the description makes it possible to establish the model, which is the US military's Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk. The code is verified through open resources that collect data on military aircraft. The US helicopter is also shown by the aircraft tracking service to have flown into the area of loitering over the Nord Stream pipelines from Gdansk, Poland.
Hoovering over the spot of explosion.An amusing interchange between Dr. Jeffery Sachs and interviewers on Bloomberg about the likely cause of the explosions:
Here is a link to the reports about US military helicopters mentioned by Dr. Sachs:
