Danish authorities say they can now begin inspecting the damaged Nord Stream pipelines after they stopped spewing gas.
It is still unclear what caused the pipelines to start leaking close to the Danish island of Bornholm.
It has long played a strategic role between the West and Russia.

Well we all know full well that the US were behind this disgusting sabotage which is a greater act of terrorism than 9/11. When are the US going to e held accountable? Or are the whole of Europe cowards before their master the US 👺🇺🇸👺
Why surprised? The US said they would blow it up. And now they did.
America destroying Germany infrastructure is a serious relationship deterrence.
Biden said in February he would shut it down, so what’s the surprise?
Victoria Nuland said the same thing on two occasions.
Veteran, is the agreement true? If yes, honor it.
Western USA EU UK globalists have practically bankrupted themselves going carbon neutral and now having to go back to wood and coal 😨 The USA takes out the pipelines making an ecological disaster in the sea of Denmark ,putting the EU UK into a disastrous position for winter and months after .
it was definitely Russia as a Distraction Operation for the annexations ..
Both NS1 and NS2 pipelines were not even operational at the time of the explosions… Putin knew selling to the west was over by the end of the year so the pipelines were useless now .. so what better way to (1) distract the west while they are annexing parts of Ukraine with their sham referendum and (2) claim they are the ‘victims of terrorism’ to galvanize a home population to support an unpopular mobilization, and blame the US for this ataack on them on the world stage .. Moreover, they can claim ‘force majeure’ for not fullfilling gas contracts and avoid billions of dollars in penalties (which they could not avoid if they simply ‘turned off the gas valves’)..
Of course many fell for the “why would they blow up their own pipelines?” .. even scarier is this could all just be a pretext for a retalitory strike later on the new Norwegian Baltic pipeline that was, coincidentaly, just opened at the exact same time …
Putin is systematically taking out energy infrastructure as a weapon.. he has already shelled hydroelectric and nuclear plants and now he has blown up gas pipelines to Europe… essentially Putin is scorching the earth since he knows he is finished and is similar to when Sadam blew up oil wells in his retreat…
I don’t care who did it, honestly. That pipe should have never been laid under the sea because this was bound to happen one way or another and now we have a complete and utter environmental disaster.
It’s not super bad. It was turned off so there’s not a continuous supply of gas coming out, just what was in there.
DON’T TRUST RUSSIA 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
It’s not really an energy war between Russia and Europe. It’s actually a war between the US, using its slave States in Europe, against Russia.
Why are you so quiet on Iran…. sus
This war is meant to destroy EU, it started when EU wanted an independent EU Army free from UK and US. So English speaking countries and Russia conspired to destroy Europe since Russia and English speaking countries didn’t want another powerful entity. Just like WW1 and WW2 Europe was destroyed yet winners were Russia and English speaking countries. First shots were Crimea 2014 take over the. Brexit 2016. Military and economic attach on EU.
America at it again haha
Why are you guys calling it a leak, when it was blown wide open??? He he he!
Political correctness ?
👺🇺🇸💰💥👺
The Americans did it and these people along with the EU allowed it to happen.
😂😂 ok
Right now, our best hope at avoiding nuclear Armageddon and World War III (and it pains me to say this) is going to be *Donald Trump…* and that’s _IF_ we even make it to 2024… Look, I’m no right-winger. I think Trump’s bad on social issues, I supported Bernie and voted for no one, but all politics aside, Trump is already tried and proven to be a candidate for peace, while Biden is just openly committing war crimes and acts of terrorism. Plus, I never had to worry about gas prices, where to set my thermostat, or when my son would be deployed to Ukraine, Taiwan, Iran or Ethiopia during Trump’s 4 years.
When Biden howls _“I will make ‘so and so’ a pariah!”_ it doesn’t make me feel safe. *Those are hostile words of a deranged madman.* Efficient problem solving is something to be proud of, not your ability to escalate tensions and make enemies. After 35 years of healthy competition with China, Biden comes along and makes them our adversary. Great. I don’t see anyone on his team who vaguely resembles a diplomat and frankly, it looks like they’re 100% ANTI-PEACE. Their actions suggest they _want_ a war in the China Sea, _want_ to scare Iran into making nuclear weapons, _want_ to destroy Europe’s economy and _want_ a nuclear war with Putin.
I LIKE the fact that Trump talks to dictators like Kim Jong. As the world’s superpower, *US president’s should talk to all world leaders.* If we’re going to act like authoritarians and the policemen of the world, we should keep an open dialogue with every single country. Imagine if parents of a large family refused to feed or talk to their children and when siblings have a dispute, we give them knifes, grenades and machine guns. That’s what we do on a grand scale and it’s irresponsible as the world’s superpower. Cutting off communications with nations like Syria, N. Korea, and Iran only brought them closer together and now Biden has chased off China into the arms of Russia. If Biden had said “I’ll go talk to him and smooth things over. Just watch, I’ll turn Putin into a teddy bear” I could get behind that, but like an idiot, he publicly called the leaders of 3 nuclear powers (Putin, MBS, Xi) “pariahs” because Joe Biden is no diplomat and just as much of a warhawk as George’s W. Bush.
Something strange is going on all right!!!
I wish to ask a question.
Was it Russia or America?
It was neither of these players it was the CCP or Chinese communist party?
It was definitely an outside player here,an interested party that would like to see divisions in the current world power system.
Russia might have done this but even that is an outside odd.
America,well it is simple.
The United states has always held hedgeamony over the world and wouldn’t have a need to destroy Europe’s energy since they do supply so many artifacts to European markets it’s not funny.
An certain outside player would benefit from a destabilizing European/American/Russian and therefore gain economical advantages over these world staged economy’s.
This is I’m affraid only the beginning of something wider in context and we should all be ready for anything at this stage because this is war of the future,new and even more F/U ways of killing and destabilizing current held sways of power and influence.
Hope Ukraine wins,hope peace can be secured but most of all I hope that somehow all these war mungers can think about all the men, woman and children they are killing in the name of tribal and national bullshit.
Let’s hope as citizens of planet Earth that all these Awholes die or something so the rest of us peace loving humans can get on with our lives our destiny because humanity could have an amazing future ahead.
A place where people can travel, explore and transverse and experience the human condition?
😂😂 Joke of the decade
Illuminati.
👺💰🇺🇸💥👺
Don’t blame climate change on the Danish farmers now, methane by the tons leaking, where is Greta? Biggest environmental disaster since fukishima

Investigate the WEF and the Tyrannical Biden Administration and NATO!
There are aprox 80,000 active WW2 marine mines in the Baltic sea, search a map of the mines and you’ll see some in the areas of those explosions . food for thought
Is the Western people stupid enough to believe that The area patrolled heavily by american and nato warships unable to detect russian vessels?
Not advance as expected
Mad Danes swimming in the Baltic in October. 😅
No naval patrol schedule. The governments and military of the countries near Russia did not patrol and protect those pipelines. Too trusting. Only waiting for more suprise punches? Or its an inside job?
Lucky if its only dark and cold winter then? Or else it might be what the biggest fear of all?
The CIA blew up the pipelines to make sure there is no way back through peace talks. They did this with the help and agreement of Germany (their pipelines) and Denmark (their waters)
This section of the Baltic Sea falls under NATO jurisdiction…therefore NATO aka USA planned and executed the sabotage !
Everybody know America did it they have the TV and the technology to show you who did it why they not releasing the video of the attack come on Europeans show that video
Stop trying to cover it up everybody know America did it show the TV the monitors who attacked the Pipelines
American submarines are now flooding the area to protect the norwegian pipeline. Any Russians come near it they are finished!
This constitutes Eco-Terrorism. On February 7, 2022, prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, President Biden said, “If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2”. When reminded by reporters that Germany controls the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the President stated: “We will – I promise you – we will be able to do it”. And, in all probability they did, in collusion with other European nations. Europe is all but finished thanks to the shambolic sanctions imposed by the EU. The only people that have suffered are the Europeans, more fool them for following such ludicrous dictates.
Lol😂da, old man it is the west showing their presence 😢
It’s Russia do it no question. Maybe it’s time to blockade Russia punishing them hard.
Joe Biden promised reporters that he would destroy the pipeline and he did it. Americans are destroying Europe not Mr Putin.
That idea is heavily guarded by NATO. Yes, it was sabotaged but by their own, Denmark, Sweden, Poland and US so that Norway and US can benefit in terms as new suppliers. Thanks for taking Poor Germany, for a ride.
You should not be making false allegations without proof.
We will never be told the truth. All governments lie to the canon fodder to get the blood flowing. $$
I can’t believe majority of the world are so stupid they can’t see that the United States destroyed it Joe Biden said he was going to do it and it got done
Why blamed Russia ? They installed the pipelines at a very high cost. The USA president said they were going to stop NordStream and had stationed their ships and helicopters in the area for quite sometime. Look at the evidence and stop the blame game
Only two plausible saboteurs: America or Russia, take your pick
Since Russia can now sell their LNG to Europe replacing piped gas from the US, I will pick Russia
@LBC Nonsense. Russia only has to turn the spigot, not blow up the pipe.
@albback omg, you don’t seem to get the idea. Any gas pipe from USA to Europe?
@LBC again, why would russia blow up its own pipeline?
There needs to be better security. Perhaps the Americans can patrol these waters and see if they can catch themselves sabotaging.
@Matthew Loutner I got some, simple counsel, “don’t be stupid “… you should look into it.
Their water + their Gas = their Patrol.
The activity of large US ships in the area was probably a Distraction to draw suspicion while the Real Work was being done on the sea bed ,or put in position weeks before and then Detonated at the Precise time , but by whom we will never know .
It’s like an Agatha Christie Plot , all have a motive ,but it’s is somebody in the room
I can’t wait for Nordstream 3 to come out on Netflix..
We were thinking that we are american slaves but these europeans are far more than us in slavery
Price of supporting US, a hypocrite!
Sure 😂
Wouldn’t explosives ignite the gas?
U need oxygen for fire and under see no way. It can ignite on surface from just one small static discharge and that will probably happen real soon.
Those EU ecologists, they don’t say anything. Where are those Greenpeace.
How many whales have been killed
Biden sometime ago: ” We will destroy the Nord Stream Pipeline. We have the ways to do it”.
September – choppers flew over the pipeline “without reason’
Biden now: “We all know that Russia did this unspeakable act ”
The whole world: ” We trust you Joe” LOL
😅Latest Germany social media poll “Who bombed North Stream” ?😅
Russia 6%
USA 94%
@Mage’s Almanac it doesn’t make sense for russia to blow it up. Makes much more sense for the US to do it. To force Germany to keep the sanctions up since even if they remove the sanctions against Russia, they wouldn’t be getting anywhere near enough gas for them to survive the winter. It would benefit US greatly, but will surely make the EU suffer, especially Germany.
Believe nothing from these Western Infidels. Jihad should always live in your heart.
If the US is invited they are going to blow up the fixed Nord Stream pipelines again. Shame on you
relying on the enemy for energy—gee what could go wrong
Shahab Chittoor / It has been stopped.🇵🇰🇮🇳
Pakistan border🕋
(Please make a video about it!) 🙏
Norway did it to knock out the competition for their new pipeline.
Haha to risky bro. Only uncle Sam would dare to do it. Because EU is uncle sams baitches and they dont dare to question uncle sam
The only work joe have successfully completed so far
We did it joe 🤡
Putin administration should stop their brutal invasion immediately.
Kremlin is using natural resources as weapons.
Russian people don’t need the war and escaping from Kremlin to the border.
Using military force is the worst way to solve the problem.
They should stop all the violences immediately.
Now more and more support is needed for severely damaged Ukraine🇺🇦.
Maybe this pipeline attack was a joint operation between the USA and Russia?????
Money from the USA and operated by Russia.
This is affirmation that the US doesn’t respect its allies sovereignty. Germany and the EU should be concerned with its own citizens and the tens of Billions spent on that project. The world is worried about Putin the West is the real aggressor. Maybe when the citizens of the EU are freezing to death this winter they will focus on their own well being.
Who dunnit?!
Russian involvement in any pipeline investigation will be prevented, because they are suspects. The US, also a suspect will lead the investigation. Enough circumstantial evidence will be found to implicate Russia, just enough to cause derision, but not enough to come back against the US later if something is leaked, it will never be definitely solved. That is the off ramp the US will use to vindicate itself from a very embarrassing situation.
The Danish navy will be stationed on location to prevent any uncontrolled investigation by other than the US and NATO. Truly convenient for creating and staging evidence or, removing traces of their own terrorist acts.
Such a big accident has been possible only by the neighboring countries or America!
The phrase out of the frying pan into the fire is used to describe the situation of moving or getting from a bad or difficult situation to a worse one, often as the result of trying to escape from the bad or difficult one.
EU zone area where gas pipeline xplode….any russian movement is in the eye of msm but no reporting done🙄🙄🙄
America… and now we blaming Russia hahaha I swear we are such gullable dumb Europeans while America steps on us… Crazy.. But people are waking up in each individual country in Europe.. Nato and Europe will soon be over because of these corrupt politians incitng ww3. i though Nato was a peace organisatiom hahahah Nice one
activated article 5…come on…
Where is the US & NATO MILITARY!! They must fight Russia!! Or they are scared to death of the nuclear weapons of Russia to wipe them out!! The US troops which have been committing crimes against humanity all over the world!! Have been cowards and they haven’t faced Russia!!
Instead of shutting down their gate valve, Russians swarm all the way here and made Germany to shut down. SQ..
It may be done by eu an American
Let see how Servants save their masters face from their own investigation.
Those pipelines are now scrap, they are full of saltwater and debris and there is no repairing them…
Actually they could be repaired, the issue is time I believe. If you leave it too long it will become too damaged.
europeans knows deep inside there hearts it was America who did this but they won’t openly say it obviously a group of hyena can’t take name of there leader jackal they will indirectly keep blaming Russia this is the level of suppression and under control european leaders are under influence of america they are sidelining there own intrests for someone else war there own people are sufferring with inflation
Stupidity knows no bounds?
Let me guess: they are going to ask the Americans to provide security….
Toen de Russen zogenaamd onderhoud moesten plegen, hebben ze in de pijplijn, explosieven aangebracht !
Well it seems that Jens Skaarup got his wish of the West showing its presence there. Statistically speaking, the West (US) had the technology, skilled personnel, and was in the area when the North Stream pipe lines one and two were sabotaged. Russia definitely didn’t do it because it cost them too much money to build and they could always turn the gas off. The surrounding EU countries didn’t do it because they were in desperate need of the gas. The only possibility is the US in my humble opinion.
@peabase oh dear, how awfully embarrassing for you !
Why would Russia destroy their own pipelines and soo close to Denmark and Sweden when all Russia has to do is to turn the tap off?
The only one benefitting from this is the US and Biden as he has clearly the motif and resources to do so. The US is the one wanting rule the world as if Putin is that dangerous, why hasn’t he been removed from his position? Clearly the US benefits from Putin being in power.
It isn’t any mystery. The world knows it was sabotaged by the U.S.
The US has done everything to bury this event. CNN won’t even mention it now after a few days of claiming it was suspected Russia did it. Laughable
The west must help,i hope the people of Bornholm are safe ( Isn’t it possible to collect back some of the gas?)
The gas from the pipes have already dispersed into the atmosphere, so it’s too late at this point. The environmental impact from the gas is estimated to be around the same as 80 % of Denmark’s yearly emissions.
“THEY” have poisoned generations living in that formerly pristine enclave. Sleeping with the enemy.
😅😅Latest Germany social media poll “Who bombed North Stream” ?

CIA did it, the whole world knows that except the propaganda media of the ruling caste.
Stop supporting Ukraine.
Never 🇩🇪❤️🇺🇦💪
Famous Indian Ideom fits best here: Ulta Chor Kotwaal Ko Dante and Another Hindi proverb: Chor machaye Shor [The one who is guilty makes so much of noise and due to the impact of so much of noise, no finger is pointed towards them]
Are the media not allowed to even suggest the US did this?
you got it, Blackrock & Vanguard say ‘Hi’
Media in USA and EU is all owned by corp… 😉
Germans continue to bend over, the Danes also now assume the position, presstitutes nod & smile, the world laughs
America has Sabotage the Nordstream pipelines and all the world knows it. USA through WTO and Climate Agreements wants to form A One World Government and from Washington DC it will impose it’s Will on all nations just like it is doing now over NATO and EUROPE and most probably I assume Obama is in Waiting to Rule over this One World Government and that is why they want to get Rid of Russia’s Putin the only man who can oppose them .All Nations Beware and break yourselves from America and the American dollar which will become as good as worthless paper the moment Saudi Arabia stops trading in dollars.USA is just Printing Dollars without gold backup.
US is good at destroying things and people. Refer to history.
Why are all EU leaders are forcing leading businesses in their countries to shift to America ? They does not make any amend to improve their purchase of foreign oil and gas instead make all kind of rule and sanctions to reduce their own consumption in public as well as in industrial. Why is it that they don’t even bother to help and retain these vital industry?
This old fool calling for security from the same countries who destroyed the pipelines
They found oil! The US is coming!!!
DTA 🦞
“Danish residents fear for their own safety from patrols of their NATO allies” outta be more of the title.
Stop calling them “leaks”. These pipelines were bombed.
Poor journalism. Propaganda.
Who’s going to attack Denmark and Sweden?! Definetly not Russia. Now we see that the Russians couldn’t attack a blind moose from behind. They have never been a real threat. Look inside your alliances and societies to find true enemies.
US did it. The entire world agrees.
I don’t think Putin cares about Danish people, he doesn’t even care about Russians
Classic KGB move
Brandon did it. The whole of Europe is in denial of reality.
Nato dominated area! US/NATO they take us all europeans for a fool!! Whenever US poke their business into someone else, it always end up with destruction and death!
On September 4th 2022, prominent German businessman, Karl Peter Griesemann’s private jet crashed into the Baltic Sea off the coast of Latvia, having flown halfway across Europe from Spain whilst unresponsive to ATC calls.
Air traffic data showed that the Austrian registered jet departed from southern Spain on Sunday afternoon, changed course at Paris and Cologne and then flew straight out to the Baltic Sea, before descending rapidly into the ocean killing all on board.
The Griesemann Group was responsible for the maintenance of the Nordstream gas lines.
TRUMP WAS RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME! GERMANY, YOU ARE IDIOTS….
Nord stream pipeline have destroyed by America, because America want to dominate Europe 100%.And America will supply ice gas banker ship to Europe to earn most profits than Russia even European have been suffering from winter and Even European will die in winter.American leaders want WW3 to earn billions of dollar due to selling weapons. According to WW3 Europe and Asia will destroy fully but America will loss only some fleets.
