    It is confusing why Putin would blow up his own cash line...

    Here's a bit of conspiracy theory brought to you by Forbes:

    U.S. Blew Up Russian Gas Pipelines Nord Stream 1 & 2, Says Former Polish Defense Minister

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/mic…

    President Joe Biden promised on February 7 to prevent Nord Stream 2 from becoming operational if Russia invaded Ukraine. "If Russia invades,” said Biden, “then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it."

    Reporter: "But how will you do that, exactly, since...the project is in Germany's control?"

    Biden: "I promise you, we will be able to do that."

    • doubt it. Biden has galvanized NATO and Biden wouldn't risk the backlash.hotroddy
    • Actually Poland would have to gain from this, they have another pipeline open from Norway.grafician

    • nord stream 2 was never operational so there was no need to blow it uphotroddy
    • There isn't really any mystery here. Putin invaded Ukraine and Germany cancelled Nordstream 2 immediately, no doubt after pressure from Biden.yuekit
    • The 'mystery' is who blew it up the pipelines. If "there isn't really any mystery here" then who blew up NS 1 and 2, kitster?PonyBoy
    • *blew upPonyBoy
    • I mean regarding Biden's statement that you quoted and that everyone is taking out of context.yuekit
    • Biden said would stop Nord Stream 2 and he did. That already happened, it didn't require blowing anything up.yuekit
    • Who blew it up though?PonyBoy
    • I wouldn't rule out Russia so quicklyyuekit
