The recent sabotage of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea was a sophisticated military operation that required exhaustive planning and possibly involved several actors, argues Pepe Escobar.
The explosions were so powerful that Swedish seismologists estimated they might have reached the equivalent of up to 700 kg of TNT. (Speaking of TNT, read this.)
The idea that Russian intelligence would destroy (their own) Gazprom pipelines is absurd, considering that Russia wanted to sell oil and natural gas to the European Union (EU).
Let’s take a moment to think about that.
A pipeline funded and built by Russia was blown up by Russia.
Are people stupid?
So, who was it?
Well, there are indications that the group behind the sabotage wanted to halt a possible alliance between Germany, Russia, and China, while the Polish Navy and special forces are potential physical perpetrators, with American planning and technical support, and aid by the Danish and Swedish militaries.
Put another way, the sabotage was meant to stop a potential alliance between Germany, Russia, and China. The Polish Navy and special forces might have carried it out, with planning and tech support from the Americans, and help from the Danish and Swedish militaries.
Definitely not Russia.
The hypothesis focuses on the Polish Navy and Special Forces as the physical perpetrators (quite plausible; the report offers very good internal details), American planning and technical support (extra plausible), and aid by the Danish and Swedish militaries (inevitable, considering this was very close to their territorial waters, even if it took place in international waters).

Lest we forget the internal political dynamics within NATO and the EU.
Okay, so, the sabotage appears to have been approved by American central intelligence (who circumvented the White House), as always. It could also be seen, in some ways, as a declaration of war against Germany as well as the EU’s businesses and citizens.
But not against the bureaucratic machine in Brussels, Pepe Escobar noted in his conversation with me below.
He added that the role of Poland can’t be ruled out, especially considering former Polish Defense Minister Radek Sikorski’s tweet thanking the USA.
Although difficult to tell, Poland’s involvement might be driven by Russophobia, internal political reasons, and a concerted plan to attack Germany.
Lest we forget the situation in Ukraine and the opening of the Baltic Pipe in northwest Poland.
Basically…
Blowing up the pipeline(s) is more than just an isolated incident, argues Pepe; it’s part of an imperial wet dream to break up the Eurasian land mass and prevent consolidation between Germany, Russia, and China.
Of course, China is the world’s number one enemy, apparently. China is a communist dystopia that must be stopped something something bla bla bla. In fact, the Nord Stream conspiracy is part of a larger pattern of Western aggression and control.
It will continue until, at least, 2030.

If Russia invades… then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.
