Did the CIA just sabotage the Nord Stream 2 and Nord Stream 1 pipelines?

UPDATE: Reuters reported Monday night that Nord Stream 1 was also experiencing an unexplained pressure drop.

From Reuters, “Nord Stream AG operator says looking into decline in pressure in Nord Stream 1”:

Nord Stream AG, the operator of the Nord Stream 1 undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, said Monday it was looking into causes of a drop in pressure in the pipeline.

“Tonight, dispatchers from the Nord Stream 1 control centre recorded a pressure drop on both branches of the gas pipeline,” it said in a statement. “The reasons are being clarified.”

The odds this was the result of a deliberate attack are going through the roof.
