Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Ukrainian Consequences: Nord Stream" video.
SORRY PETE I love your work, BUT I disagree on the conclusion it was the Russians who blew up Nord Stream. Gas and oil pipelines are giant money pumps and you know that. They might be expensive to install but once that's done they just pump money from one place to another. Rockefeller worked that out over a century ago. Even if the explosives are Russian it would prove nothing because there are so many places in the world that anyone could get tons of Russian explosives. Just look at all the countries they sell military stuff too. In any crime there's a thing called MOTIVE. Nord Stream is owned by a combination of Russian state enterprises and the Russian Oligarchs. Its a huge money earner for both. On the other hand the biggest critics of Nord Stream has been the America government. As you have highlighted repeatedly America has lots of gas out of North Dakota but can't sell it because it requires infrastructure. To sell it to Europe means liquifying and the shipping and that can't compete with a pipe. Then there's the German nuclear industry that was shutdown by the German Green Party. Funny how the Germans are now recommissioning those nuclear power stations to make up for the gas shortage. Then there's opportunity. To plant the explosives and blow up 50 meters of pipeline at the bottom of the sea requires underwater demolition skills. Yes the Russians most likely have those skills but so do the Germans and Americans. And lets not forget something else. America due to its recent 20 year war now has a number of Private Military Contractors available full of ex-US Military people who probably have the necessary skills. Plus PMCs are great for "plausible deniability." SO WHO'S GOT MOTIVE and OPPORTUNITY to blow up Nord Stream.
