    If Sweden had found Russia at fault, you’d think they would be shouting it from the rooftops.

    The question of jurisdiction was more complicated than where the crime had been committed.

    So… The US did it.

        The war hawks answer would be so that we can economically separate russia-germany so that germany is more willing to go against russia. If Germany is dependent on gas from Russia they are less willing to risk their relationship.

        At the time, Germany was on the fence about sanctions because they were getting gas via the Nordstream from Russia and didn’t want to endanger that. Sudden, completely unexpected lack of gas from Russia = no impediment to backing sanctions. And that’s how it turned out.

    Why is is so hard to believe that the US blew up the pipeline? They have the capability, the motivation, and they will face absolutely no consequences from doing it. Like how is this even a question?

      Believing that means having to accept that the whole western narrative in utter bullshit. NATO isn’t an alliance of nations that protect each other, it’s a protection racket that US runs to subjugate Europe.

    It was a Ukrainian mission directed by the USA. Before you downvote do even a basic amount of research. There was a great finding recently that tracked down the who and the how. A chartered yacht with 6 Ukrainian special forces planted the charges and it’s not an unknown anymore. They used fake passports, left out of Rostock Germany, and Germany traced it. They found the people via camera and entry. They found the yacht itself still with explosive residue on it.

      Ah yes, the ever so trustworthy US State Department and intelligence services scribe the Washington Post. They’re definitely not throwing a smokescreen.

      “We’ve investigated ourselves of any wrongdoing, and while we can’t credibly deny that we suggested blowing up the pipeline and really wanted the pipeline blown up, we definitely didn’t touch the actual explosives!”
