In terms of getting us hooked off that Russian gas it was a good thing, whoever did this.
ok ๐
Why does it make more sense that Russia blew up the pipeline?
To create chaos between their enemies, to create the feeling under civilians that their resources may dry up and let's not forget, because they're fucking evil.
They wouldn't give up the income from gas. Your theory doesn't make sense. They would either raise prices, close pipeline or invent some other excuse. Note that Russia is still merrily selling gas to Europe.
but not on the scale it has before and germany for example is free of russian gas. They are bleeding money
But that wouldn't be because Russia wanted it. And I'm not sure that Germany is really free from Russian gas, it's a mess, probably they are still getting some but at much higher cost. https://energyandcleanair.org/december-2023-monthly-analysis-on-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/
They could have done all that by shutting the valves on their end. Or 'discovering' a crack that needs an, uh, six month-long maintanence. The closing of the pipe may be a good thing, but it's pretty clear who did it.
Oh, i see. Thanks.
But those sweet, sweet gas money!
