However, they would have had the same reasons as the US not to; the pipelines were already largely a non-issue going forward, but in addition (and I wish NWYT would also have mentioned this), should their hand in such a operation be discovered, the EU (and Europeans in general) would be absolutely _pissed_ at their treachery, souring relations significantly and, in the case of Ukraine, likely losing them a lot, if not all, of the vital support European nations are providing them.

Halting gas supply could potentially cause Europe to panic and withdraw support, leaving the US to support Ukraine more or less alone. Doing so an ambiguous way and having everyone point fingers is even better as you could try to divide them (which is what Russia has been trying to do even before Feb 24th). Sure, the US could have done it to simply profit but Europe was moving away from Russian gas anyways and that's too big a risk this late in the game considering how everything is playing out. Germany refusing the Nordstream 2 option after the burst pipe seems telling that they are convinced it was Russian self-sabotage.

This might suggest the choice of the particular location could have been intended to send a message to Denmark and Sweden (and perhaps Poland) in particular.

How do you gather there were 4 explosions? There were 4 leaks but with a pressure vessel like that running at like a hundred atmospheres, damaging the integrity of it in one spot might just rupture another spot as well through deformation. The 4 leak egress sites still correspond to only 3 pipes, one of the pipes sprung two leaks. Only two seismic events corresponding to explosions were registered by seismologists. One at 2am if I remember right talking out one pipe of NS2. And one at 7pm taking out two pipes of NS1. There is some debate between geologists and seismologists whether the second seismic event was really one explosion and a reflection or two explosions triggered within 4 seconds of each other. The first seismic event doesn't show such pattern and it was definitely one explosion, but since it was 50km away and much further from the shore, no conclusions can be drawn from mere comparison.

In all honesty, I was a little skeptical coming into this video as to wether this video would be able to handle the complexity of this situation or be able to argue objectively. It did both very well, and I ended up learning a lot that I did not know! Great video!

This way the Russian Gazprom might also be able to prevent the penalties it has to pay for failing to deliver on the long term contracts it had with Germany

I'd heard this same idea proposed, however it has not seemed to gain traction, nor have I seen a citation of a source documenting the alleged penalties. On the other hand, I've not seen anything to deny it, either, so it still seems to have potential. Thanks for bringing it up.

Having mentioned in my first reply that I'd seen no documentation of this cause, I decided to google it. I found a July 18, 2022 Reuters news bulletin addressing the issue in regard to claims in a letter from Gazprom to German distributors. In that July 14th letter, Gazprom said that reductions in supply were not its fault but were due to _force majeure_ so it could not be held to contractual obligations. Penalties for contract noncompliance were not specifically mentioned but seemed clearly implied.

Russia's remaining gas pipelines going into Europe pass through Belarus and Ukraine. The flow through Ukraine is naturally endangered by the war; one of the pipelines was shut down in May due to damage combat damage. Interestingly, the same week Nord Stream blew up, Gazprom threatened to cut off gas to Ukraine over a contract dispute. When the Nord Stream sabotage happened my first thought was that this was intended to induce Europe to either end support for Ukraine to protect their gas supplies, or to put pressure on Ukraine to sue for peace. This video suggests a few other alternatives I hadn't thought of. Thank you!

So far they've blamed turbopump issues, and slow maintenance by Siemens, for the existing stoppage. This gives them an excuse for continuing ("force majure" outs in the gas contracts), while also attempting to fulfill larger ends noted in the video (blaming America and breaking the West's unity on Ukraine, with a bit of Nixonesque Mad Bomber act on top). I'm not saying it's the only or even largest reason, but I can't help but wonder if gas-based manipulation is also one of their aims, especially with winter coming.

As in the video said, since september there's no gas flow through them anymore. And I think beginning at the end of december the EU wants to sanction (stop) all russian gas import into europe.

I think you missed one important motivation. When it turns really cold in Europe this winter and the impact of no natural gas starts to hit home, and people begin freezing to death or huddling in shelters, the pressure on their government to resume buying Russian natural gas will be very high. With the pipelines destroyed that's no longer an option. By removing this option, Washington ensures that the lack of natural gas does not threaten NATO cohesion and helping Ukraine in its war. Thus all the pro war nato countries have a vested interest in seeing this pipeline destroyed.

"Adolf shot himself in the foot with that tactic, only the foot for now." - Oversimplified but a bit edited for the situation, still makes sense.

I still believe Nordstream remaining intact would advantage Russia more than sabotaging it. Yes, Europe is standing together now, but winter hasn't arrived yet. Having the ability to leverage offered gas sales against decreased assistance to Ukraine (in the winter when European nations could be convinced their assistance would be of little immediate help anyway) is more valuable than MAYBE having some Europeans questioning whether or not the USA did it.

You forgot one thing: with the Nordstreams closed, the main way gas could get from Russia to Western Europe is through Ukraine. Since Russo-Ukranian relations isn't going to be restored for the foreseeable future, that incentivizes them (Europe) to let Russia have part of Ukraine.

What was my grandpa looking up on his computer? The answer is not what you think!

No need for sabotage..... Russia shut down Nord Stream One on the 2nd September 2022, stating that the Portovaya compressor station could not operate safely. Normally there are 6 large turbines, 2 small turbines and 4 spare turbines on site. Normally they need 2 of the 6 large turbines to fully pressurize the pipe, but one was in Germany after being serviced and, presumably, the only other one working had to be shut down due to safety. "Western" sanctions effectively prevented this repair/replacement, however a Kremlin spokesman also claimed that incomplete documentation prevented delivery..... Nord Stream Two wasn't certified by Germany, so it never delivered gas. If a failure of the Slavyanskaya gas compressor station occurred........same result as NS1. The Slavyanskaya gas compressor station was supposed to have 11 Ladoga turbines, 6 were apparently delivered/online in 2020. Given the graft and corruption in the military for things like maintenance and routine tasks, it's not hard to think Gazprom may well suffer from the same. Remember the Kiev nuclear meltdown? Poor design and poor training of personnel were blamed, AT A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT!!! COVID would have also adversely affected routine maintenance schedules and often shortcuts are used when people a forced to do 'more with less' in terms of personnel. Additionally, "Nord Stream 1 has a nameplate capacity of 55 billion cubic metres (bcm) per year. However, the pipeline pumped more than 59 bcm in 2020 and 2021..." Exceeding the stated capacity may have compromised the pipeline and the compressors. Without pressure in the pipelines, the Nord Stream 1 & 2 would collapse under the immense pressures, this may well have sounded like small explosions. Hydro-static shock would have traveled inside the pipelines and caused other ruptures.

A refreshing perspective.

Many Germans I've spoken to are happy about the destruction of this pipeline, regardless of culprit. They're sick of their politicians making stupid choices and relying on Russia for energy.
