An opportune moment to RT this thread from October and my greatest admiration to Seymour Hersh for breaking the details of this latest outrage plotted by a treacherous foreign policy cabal

It's always tricky to understand why the USA allows treacherous scum like this to run their foreign policy

Evidence of motive & incriminating statements (1)
The RAND Corporation published a report in 2019, ordered by the US Army, on how to extend and weaken Russia. The report advocated that βA first step would involve stopping Nord Stream 2.

In July 2020, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned:
"We will do everything we can to make sure that that pipeline doesnβt threaten Europe.β

The Nord Stream pipeline was frequently threatened as the conflict in Ukraine intensified. US Senator Tom Cotton stated in May 2021 that βthere is still time to stop itβ¦ Kill Nord Stream 2 now, and let it rust beneath the waves of the Balticβ.
On 14 January 2022, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan asserted: βWe have made clear to the Russians that pipeline is at risk if they move further into Ukraine.β
On 3 February, Senator Ted Cruz called for the end of Nord Stream: βThis pipeline must be stopped and the only way to prevent its completion is to use all the tools available to do that.
On 7 February 2022, President Biden stood next to German Chancellor Scholz as he warned that if Russia invades Ukraine then βthere will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.β
Asked by a journalist how he would destroy something under German control, Biden responded: βI promise you, we will be able to do thatβ.
Undersecretary of State for Policy, Victoria Nuland, also repeated the threat: βI want to be very clear: if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.β
On 26 September 2022 the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed.
The next day, on 27 September 2022, leaders from Poland, Norway & Denmark attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the new Norway-Poland Baltic Pipe that would replace the dependence on Nord Stream.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken argued that the destruction of Nord Stream presents βa tremendous opportunity. Itβs a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy.β
Blinken also offered to assist Western Europe by replacing Russian gas with much more expensive American fuel.
Nuland also commented post attack:
βI am, and I think the Administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.β

The Financial Angle is also illuminating

1. Norway and the U.S. are the two countries that have benefitted financially, to an enormous degree, from blowing up the pipeline

2. Not only have both gained huge export surpluses from the jump in gas prices, Norway has directly replaced Russian gas to the tune of some $40 billion per year.

From 2023 the USs will appear in that list in 2nd place behind Norway, following the opening in the last two months of two new liquefied natural gas terminals in Germany, built to replace Russian gas with U.S. and Qatari supplies.
