> The next question is, who did it?

A Polish member of the European Parliament has thanked the US: https://twitter.com/radeksikorski/status/1574800653724966915

Hilariously, this is the husband of Washington Post person "Anne Appelbaum", a noted historian and alleged "dingbat" [1] who, among other things, can be relied upon to give strong cover to her husband's racist BS. Appelbaum and Sikorski are big anti-Russia types, and cursory glances at their social media feeds shows how thirsty they are for war, and how willing they are to send others' children off to do it.

(Much as I dislike the guy, Sikorski's probably right about the US doing the pipeline bombing [2].)

I somehow think the USA would have done it with a bit less big explosion solution.

Why’s that?

Methane is a significant greenhouse gas and I just don't see an attack that results in a large methane release being approved by the current administration. If they wanted to permanently shut the pipeline they'd do it differently.

You have a much higher standards of the current administration than I do. I haven't noticed any significant morality in the office of the POTUS since I've been alive. Carter was the last even halfway decent president we've had.

Especially when you are aware that the US military is the single largest consumer of petroleum products on the planet and it gets a bigger budget every single year.

To make it look like Russians did it, probably. It's Putin's MO.

It’s the US’ MO, historically

Why? The USA has absolute power over Europe. This is just a demonstration of that.

No country will complain or do anything. And it'll just be forgotten about like the extraordinary renditions, the May 1947 crises, etc.

What happened in May 1947?

He is trolling pro-Russian people in Poland and Germany who blamed the US from the very beginning without any evidence.
