I read all the theories. All I can muster is 'oh no, not Russia's pipeline.' Seems like however you cut it, Russia did this to themselves by invading Ukraine. They were kind of on a more decent path towards meaningful integration for a minute. Would have been good for common Russians and everyone else if they'd stayed on that path. But, instead their leadership decided on extreme aggression.
Didn't German and Dutch companies fund Nordstream 2? "Russia's pipeline" indeed.
Doesn't really matter who paid for it so long as it's intent is to send oil/gas one way and huge amounts of money the other way.
It's infrastructure that Germany and the Netherlands funded. Why doesn't it matter?
Because it wasn't blown up because of who funded it but rather who it benefits most. I'm not saying it's right but it's at least a save thought.
It does matter, as Germany is a NATO member, and the pipelines were critical infrastructure and blowing them up would be an act of war.
