rogets Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It's a very serious issue But I notice the media are focusing on trivial matters, but this pipeline issue is very serious especially as we are heading towards winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotequila Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 So NATO article 5.. would that apply to one NATO member attacking another member? Who technically owns the pipeline? Is it Russia or is it the consortium that invested in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From here: Quote Since no gas has flowed through either of the pipelines since the start of the month, German authorities have been quick to reassure people that the leaks will not affect its plan to fill gas storage tanks in time for winter. Both Nord Stream pipelines are effectively defunct now. Russia aren't going to pump gas into them and people have already worked around them turning off the taps. Sabotaging them isn't an end in itself but a demonstration that other, still functioning, pipelines, whether from North Sea drilling platforms to land or supply lines between countries, are vulnerable.

For the Democrats, a major promise by Joe Biden, kept. You have to remember America is not the Democrat Party. so what's in the Democrat Party's interest is not neccessarily in the interest of America, or the World at large.
