Sabotaging these pipelines would be bad news for Putin, removing his leverage this winter to try to reduce support for Ukraine. Biden getting caught sabotaging this pipeline would destroy the critical European coalitions he spent so much ti

Your opinion is far more unqualified than a carefully researched blog. If you don't think what he wrote is true, rebut him factually, random HN guy.

Biden and Nuland threatened to stop it using their political leverage, not force. Sabotage would destroy the European coalition against Russian aggression they've worked so hard to build. Really ludicrous conspiracy theory that makes a

It's ludicrous to think Biden would green light an operation like this when he finally has a European coalition against Russian aggression helping Ukraine whin the war. This would destroy that coalition in seconds.

There is no evidence of this, and no nation actor with a motivation to do this.

The US finally has a coalition against Russian aggression in Europe, that is key to helping Ukraine win the war. Why would they throw this away on a stupid sabotage operation?

Putin doesn't care about contracts. He does care about having operational pipelines so he can use them as leverage with the west when Europe runs low on energy. The US finally cobbled together a coalition to block Russian aggression, a

And what authority and expertise do they have?

The west can't confiscate anything within Russia, and has already confiscated most of their foriegn currency assets. The world isn't that complex. Putin needs these pipelines, they offer leverage when Europe runs low on gas.

Ludicrous. Putin wants Europe to cave this winter and use the leverage of turning these pipelines back on to get them to stop suppporting Ukraine.

by valuearb 4y ago
The idea that Putin or Biden would do this is so ludicrous as to be dismissable out of hand. Putin needs the revenues from these pipelines once hostilities end. He was likely extremely hopeful Europe would cave this winter and he could use

"All relevant authorities on different sides of the conflict agree that this was sabotage" So your entire argument is appeal to questionable authorities? What are their expertise with pipeline maintenance disasters? How and why wo

Problem is the scrollbars often don’t appear when needed, so user has no idea they are there. Worse, even when they appear, they sometimes disappear when you reach for the thumb to move many pages. It’s excruciating on documents with hundre

Oil is a fungible market. The Saudis have to sell it to someone, and selling it to someone besides the US just frees up other suppliers to sell to the US.

Speculations are always about cherry picked timelines. Which is why crypto isn’t an investment nor a hedge.

The GME stock price is a derivative. GME stock is a valid contract with a proportional ownership share of all GME tangible and intangible assets. What crypto has the rights to any tangible assets? Even stablecoins are unaudited.
