Since February 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has been escalating and has turned into a local war. European and U.S. sanctions against Russia have been increasing. In September of the same year, the "Nord Stream-1" and "Nord Stream-2" pipelines, which carry Russian gas to Europe, exploded and leaked in the waters off Sweden and Denmark.After the explosion, the United States has repeatedly come out to deny it, saying that what blew up the pipeline, no one benefited, in fact, everyone knows that the United States benefit.
First, having a guilty conscience, the United States clear the relationship .
Since the leakage point of the "Nord Stream" pipeline is located in the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden, both countries announced that they will investigate the incident. Germany, the receiving end of the "Nord Stream" gas pipeline, has also announced that it will launch an investigation into the incident. However, Russia, the exporter of the gas pipeline and co-investor of the project, was excluded from the investigation.
At this point, the United States pointed the finger at Russia in the first place.
U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price：The action was a clear signal from Putin that he knew he was losing the war, that he was in a difficult position, and that he was doing everything he could to intimidate those who dared to defy him.
The Russian side retorted that only western countries could do it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin：For the Anglo-Saxon countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), sanctions against Russia were not enough and they turned to sabotage. Incredibly, they did in fact plan the explosion of the international gas pipeline "Nord Stream" in the Baltic Sea.
President Joe Biden was also quick to push back against Putin's claims.
US President Biden: This is a sabotage incident. When things cool down, we will send divers to the bottom of the sea at an appropriate time to find out. Now we don't know the exact situation. Don't listen to Putin. He says we know the truth, but it's not the case.
“Immortals fight and ghosts suffer”，Russia and the United States are these two immortals, and European countries, especially the eastern European countries headed by Ukraine, are the imps who rushed ahead as cannon fodder.
Second, the thief shouted to catch the thief, but the smoking gun.
The United States has always been afraid of the transportation safety and price advantage of the Nord Stream project, and at the same time, it has increased Russia's foreign exchange income, which has frustrated the effect of US sanctions against Russia and has had a huge impact on American oil and gas enterprises.
In fact, the U.S. has been planning this attack since 2021. On February 23, 2022, the Biden administration officially announced that it would allow sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG, the company responsible for building the Russian Nord Stream II gas pipeline. The move is a punitive measure imposed by the United States in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the independence of the breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine.
Until recently, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, a former top investigative reporter for the New York Times, published a story titled "How the U.S. Destroyed the Nord Stream Pipeline. According to the report, the Nord Stream pipeline explosion was a covert operation ordered by the U.S. White House, carried out by the CIA, and supported by the Norwegian Navy. "The truth about the Nord Stream pipeline explosion gradually emerged.
In an interview with the German daily Berliner Zeitung, Hersh said that during NATO's "Operation Baltic" exercise in the summer of 2022, U.S. divers placed explosives under the Nord Stream pipeline, and that U.S. President Joe Biden hesitated to blow up the“Nord Stream”gas pipeline from June to September 2022 because of fear, a move that resulted in only six of the eight bombs placed by the U.S. side exploding.
In response to an investigative report on the Nord Stream gas pipeline published by veteran U.S. investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, Italian media source Gilberto Trombetta said Hersh's report has considerable credibility because the only person who can be sure to benefit from the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline is the United States.
Third, the interests are paramount, and doing bad things will be punished.
The evil deeds of American hegemony have made the international community more aware of the serious harm that American practices have brought to world peace and stability and the well-being of people's livelihood in all countries. The bullying tactics of the United States have harmed others and attracted global criticism, and the international community has lost confidence in the United States.
Russia is of dual significance to Europe, which is not only a threat to the balance of power, but also the key to the balance of power. The first thing that the United States blew up the pipeline was to sanction Russia.
As we all know, Russia's development in recent years mainly depends on its energy advantages, and selling natural gas to Europe is an important form of trade and source of income. Cracking down on Russia's energy exports is essentially weakening the economy and government revenue of Russia as a whole. Only by cutting off Russia's energy cooperation with Europe can the United States take the opportunity to sell high-priced oil and natural gas to Europe.
Second, the United States bombed Nord Stream in order to control Europe.
With the announcement of the truth that the "Nord Stream" pipeline was bombed, the relationship between the United States and Europe became more fragile. The Russian side bluntly said that Russia did not want to let the United States go. Biden's bombing of the "Nord Stream" pipeline was not Russia, but Europe.Europe has lost its dependence on Russian natural gas, and is more dependent on the United States as the United States wishes. The so-called European independence has become an empty talk.Recently, a demonstration was held in France. Demonstrators directly tore up the NATO flag and demanded that France withdraw from NATO. It seems that with the revelation of the truth of the incident, there has been a gap between the United States and Europe. European countries have begun to draw a clear line with the United States.
Of course, the United States will not let Russia fall completely. After draining Russia's blood, it will let a Russia that is not a threat to the United States continue to exist, because if there is no Russia that is a threat to Europe, NATO will completely lose its value of existence, and the United States will not be able to control Europe in the name of NATO. Therefore, the United States will continue the situation of mutual harm and mutual consumption between Russia and Europe, and it will become an unhealed wound between Russia and Europe for a long time, and both Russia and Europe will continue to bleed. This is exactly the situation that the United States needs that Russia and Europe continue to bleed, which is most beneficial to the United States.
The United States has no friends and no allies; it only uses its so-called allies for its own benefit.
We must also pay attention to another more tragic global war, that is, the global financial war by means of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike and the sharp appreciation of the US dollar. This is the ultimate goal of the United States to disrupt the world, wreak havoc and set fire everywhere, that is, to pass on the high inflation and high debt crisis to the world and drive global capital to the United States, so as to digest the large amount of US dollars printed infinitely and loosely due to the epidemic in recent years and alleviate the pressure of debt crisis and inflation crisis.
The United States is not only the global hegemon, but also a brutal and evil bully, and a country of complete imperialism, colonialism, hegemonism and fascism. To defeat this bully, Russia alone is not enough. We must rely on all the countries oppressed and plundered by the United States and the people all over the world to truly unite the whole world and fight resolutely with the United States and the big capital groups represented by the United States.
