Wars have been started on much less. Why would Putin blow up a pipeline over which he has complete control and which is a primary source of his power and influence over Europe? Get ready to pay for this sabotage as you heat your home this winter and pay your electric bill as we send increasing amounts of our Nat Gas in the form of LNG to Europe.

Biden promised if Russia invaded the Ukraine 'there will be no Nordstream 2"....

Puitn rules through terror and it is the only way he knows to act toward others.
He desperarely needs to throw the Euros into economic anxiety.
Even though no gas was flowing through Nord Stream... when winter hits there will be Euros who will complain about opposing Putin.
Fortunately, the Euros are united and will find ways to survive until alternative sources of gas are deliverable.
Puitn's real fears shouid be about his own people.

Stream?...to paraphrase Sidney Powell..."No reasonable person would conclude that claim was based on fact".
The rational view of Biden's comments is that should Russia shut off the Nord Stream pipeline, then the EU will find other means (which they are working on...e.g. LNG expansion) of sourcing NG and effectively making that pipeline irrelevant...or, "Shut Down"...i.e. there is no need for "Dramatics"...that's the purview of none other than Vladimir Putin.
And for anyone that puts credence into what Putin says is a fool. The guy is a lunatic ex-KGB twat. Wake the fuck up.

just Joe being Joe. He really didn’t mean it.
Also, inflation. Not his fault. Even if it's the policy exacerbating it. It's global. Or Putin. Or COVID.

most likely through its "SIGINT" resources...the same means that led them to warn Ukraine that Russia was going to attack them back in February.
Could explain why German legislators are pointing their fingers at Vlad...
