The pipeline wasn’t in service. It was still under construction. The evidence to the fact there was natural gas in the pipeline is overwhelming. The pipeline was supposed to be empty. The methane hydrates caused the disruption in the construction. There was no nefarious anything going on. Someone flooded an unfinished pipeline with methane and the result was a rupture. An explosion would have ignited the gas and destroyed the pipeline in its entirety, as well as having killed anyone along the way including boats in the water for miles with an enormous explosion that was far more damaging than what occurred.
If the pipeline wasn’t full of gas the water, upon disruption, would have rushed in and flooded it. The evidence of bubbling up methane out of the water points to a construction error and not sabotage.
The United States and NATO are completely innocent of any aggression. The pipeline ruptured due to whatever occurred that filled it with natural gas. It was not in use and no gas was supposed to be in the pipeline.
The communists have the airwaves full of hate propaganda in the world of the Free World so it is easy to justify communist aggressions.
