In 2018 during his speech to the UN General Assembly President Donald Trump lodged a warning to Germany about their country’s reliance on Russian energy.



The German delegation laughed on camera at the remarks.






Now Germany’s economy is tanking and Russia is in complete control of its energy as winter approaches.


On Monday Russia’s Norstream 2 Pipeline from Russia to Germany lost all pressure from 300 to 7 bars.



The cause is unknown.



German citizens are facing a very cold winter ahead.



Now this…



Via Disclose TV – Following the pressure drop in Nord Stream 2, a pressure drop has now also been recorded in both lines of Nord Stream 1, the operator says.



German officials are suggesting the pressure drops may have been a targeted attack.



TaggesSpiegel reported:



The Nord Stream pipelines may have been damaged by targeted attacks and leaked as a result.



After a drastic pressure loss occurred in one of the two lines of Nord Stream 2 during the night on Monday and a leak was found in Danish territorial waters, a spokesman for the double pipeline Nord Stream 1 also reported a “severe pressure drop” on Monday evening ‘ recorded on both lines. The situation is now being investigated.



Research into the causes has been initiated in both cases, and the security authorities at the federal level have taken on the cases. “Forensic results” cannot be expected within a short time, since the seabed has to be reached.



However, the worst is expected due to the timing, the three lines affected and the severe pressure losses in Nord Stream 1, which also indicate a large leak. “We can’t imagine a scenario that isn’t a targeted attack,” said a person familiar with the federal and federal government’s assessment. It went on to say: “Everything speaks against a coincidence.

Casus belli: Three separate gas pipelines from Russia to Germany failing within 24 hours

Germany suspects ‘targeted attack’ on Russian gas pipeline – media

Berlin suspects the leak that caused Nord Stream to lose pressure may not be a coincidence

Germany suspects ‘targeted attack’ on Russian gas pipeline – media


While the loss of pressure in three natural gas pipelines between Russia and Germany is still officially being investigated, Berlin is reportedly no longer convinced it was a coincidence, and suspects a “targeted attack” from either Ukraine or Russia, the newspaper Tagesspiegel reported on Monday evening.



Pressure in one of the Nord Stream 2 lines dropped sharply overnight, followed by the same happening to both Nord Stream 1 pipes on Monday afternoon. Denmark announced that a gas leak was spotted off the coast of Bornholm island in the Baltic Sea and closed the area for maritime traffic, but could not confirm if this was what caused the pressure loss.



According to Tagesspiegel, the German government and agencies investigating the incident “can’t imagine a scenario that isn't a targeted attack,” according to an anonymous source familiar with their assessments. “Everything speaks against a coincidence.”



The outlet explained that a deliberate attack on the bottom of the sea has to involve special forces, navy divers or a submarine. Berlin is reportedly examining two possible scenarios. In the first, Ukraine or “Ukraine-affiliated forces” could be behind the attack. The second option is that Russia did it as a “false flag,” to make Ukraine look bad and drive EU energy prices even higher.

With Nord Stream offline since late August, Russian gas can only be delivered to Germany and central Europe via the older pipelines going through Poland and Ukraine, Tagesspiegel noted.



“We are in the process of clarifying the situation here,” a spokeswoman for the federal ministry of economics told the outlet. “We don't currently know what caused the pressure drop.”



Nord Stream 1 was built in 2011. Construction on Nord Stream 2 began in 2018, and took much longer due to political pressure and economic sanctions from the US. NS2 was finished and pressurized by September 2021. However, two days prior to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the German government put its certification on indefinite hold, and has categorically refused any suggestion from Moscow – or its own people – to unblock the pipeline.
