I rarely believe in coincidences. Everyone is perplexed as to why there are sudden leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea connecting Russia to Germany. The first explosion was recorded on Monday near the Danish island of Bornholm. The second blast happened later that evening and was so powerful that scientists equate it to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.<\/p>\n

Numerous people are claiming that Russia sabotaged the pipeline, but numerous clues indicate someone else was at play. Radek Sikorski, Poland\u2019s former minister of national defense and EU Parliament member, posted an image of the leak with the caption, \u201cThank you, USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The USA is certainly no stranger to targeting Russian pipelines. In January 1982, Ronald Regan and the CIA planned to destroy the Soviet Union\u2019s economy by using the technology available at the time to create a massive explosion. The US wanted to block Europe from importing Soviet Western gas amid the Cold War and was willing to take extreme measures. Thomas C. Reed, a former Air Force secretary who served in the National Security Council, wrote a book entitled \u201cAt the Abysss: An Insider\u2019s History of the Cold War.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to disrupt the Soviet gas supply, its hard currency earnings from the West, and the internal Russian economy, the pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines, and valves was programmed to go haywire, after a decent interval, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to pipeline joints and welds,\u201d Reed writes. According to the Washington Post, Reed later commented that it was the\u00a0\u201cmost monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

What about other nations in Europe? No one is claiming responsibility, but they are stating that it was a deliberate act of terrorism. \u201cIt is the authorities\u2019 clear assessment that\u00a0these are deliberate actions<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0-\u2013 not accidents,\u201d Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday. Sweden\u2019s Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said, \u201cit is probably a case of sabotage,\u201d and they are not ruling out any scenarios. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also called it\u00a0\u201can act of sabotage.\u201d<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe era of Russian domination in the gas sphere is coming to an end,\u201d Morawiecki declared. \u201cAn era that was marked by blackmail, threats and extortion.\u201d<\/p>\n
