What utter bs. First, you and Hersh say explosions “destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines”. Not true at all, they damaged the pipelines. Apparently you aren’t aware of safety valves ? No ? Better read up. Those pipelines can be restored to use. Also review the timeline of when Germany decided not to use the Russian natural gas pipelines, Feb 22 and the seven month delay. RF was boasting of €2000 euro gas prices (and dreamed of paying for the SMO debacle they hadn’t anticipated that way. The Nordic investigation is credible, your and Hersh not so much.

With respect, what is the relevance here ? Once a pipe section is ruptured, gas gets out and sea water gets in. The damage is done.
