The natural-gas connection was sabotaged in September 2022, seven months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, prompting rampant speculation about who was to blame.

    They are silent because it was Ukraine acting on behalf of the US

            If Russia did it: creating Chaos, uncertainty, ‘pure fucking evil’.

            If the USA did it: thank you daddy USA for cutting off our gas uwu

                To create chaos between their enemies, to create the feeling under civilians that their resources may dry up and let’s not forget, because they’re fucking evil.

                This you?

            You can just switch suppliers? Like how is it in your interest to have someone bomb your less competitive supplier? Do libs not have a problem with monopolies even in the abstract??

        Why does it make more sense that Russia blew up the pipeline?

            They wouldn’t give up the income from gas. Your theory doesn’t make sense. They would either raise prices, close pipeline or invent some other excuse. Note that Russia is still merrily selling gas to Europe.

              but not on the scale it has before and germany for example is free of russian gas. They are bleeding money

                But that wouldn’t be because Russia wanted it. And I’m not sure that Germany is really free from Russian gas, it’s a mess, probably they are still getting some but at much higher cost. https://energyandcleanair.org/december-2023-monthly-analysis-on-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/

            It makes more sense that Russia blew up their own very valuable pipeline because I already decided they’re evil removed and by default guilty of everything!

            They could have done all that by shutting the valves on their end. Or ‘discovering’ a crack that needs an, uh, six month-long maintanence. The closing of the pipe may be a good thing, but it’s pretty clear who did it.
