| No motive? Let's see who benefits from this sabotage. 1. Russia doesn't benefit as it disabled their property and removed an important negotiating tool from their portfolio. 2. Germany doesn't benefit for obvious reasons. Now even if they wanted to, they can't try to get gas from Russia. 3. The US on the other hand benefits both by wrecking Germany's industry and opening up a market for their LNG. 4. Ukraine gets to demand more freebies and weapons from NATO. Benefit. 5. NATO gets to dump their own inventory on Ukraine. Benefit. 6. The US weapons manufacturers get new orders. Lots of benefits. Take a step back and apply some common sense. |
You have no idea what you're talking about. Nord Stream is the largest pipeline, but by no means the only one. Despite the fact that Nord Stream has been shut down for over a month, Germany continued and still continues to buy Russian gas.
> The US on the other hand benefits both by wrecking Germany's industry and opening up a market for their LNG.
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. The US is a beneficiary of German industry, it has no financial motive to wreck their industry, let alone the geopolitical implications of wrecking the industry of their key ally. And the US has already been selling gas to Europe literally as fast as it can. There's no new market to open up, the status quo continues.
And the last half of your points appear to be completely irrelevant? None of the sabotage here will have any noticeable effect on the war in Ukraine, let alone have the effect of extending it, which is what you appear to be suggesting.
