Re: what if just gross incompetence blew out the NS pipes.
"In my experience when anything involving energy-industry hydrocarbons explodes … well, sabotage isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it’s Tuesday. Or Friday. Or another day of the week ending in “y”."
All past history with foreign actors blowing up Russian NG pipelines completely disregarded, of course.
I was once working the weekend with a Russian engineer. I made a joke about Ramon Mercador. Stas had no idea who Ramon Mercador was. :-D So to, most americans have no idea that america has blown up Russian NG pipelines in the past.
Whoever wrote this theory obviously did a lot of research. To much research to NO KNOW that the US has a history of blowing up Russian NG pipelines. I wonder why it didn't make the article? Well, maybe I missed it...
