It may seem improbable - but not impossible - that Germans would sabotage their own pipeline. What these informations reveal, though, is that it certainly is improbable that the Russians did it, given that NATO manouvers were going on in the area.

I remember I checked marinetraffic.com right after the explosions, and it showed USS Kearsarge being present right where the bombs went off, the day before they went off. This information is now redacted, and Kearsarge is now shown as positioned in the English Channel on the day of the attack - in spite of the fact, that it is public knowledge that the Kearsarge was a part of the manouvers in the Baltic Sea at the time. I didn't take a screenshot, so I have no proof.

Anyway - no matter who did it, it shows something about NATOs naval capabilities: Whoever managed to do it, did it in spite of the fact that NATO naval assets were manouvering all over the place. Which means that either NATO was in on the plan, or that NATOs naval assets are essentially useless. In any case it provides a great incentive for NATO to keep this information secret.

NATO was either in on it, or NATO is useless.

Cheers from Denmark!

I also have a very hard time seeing why Germans would blow up a pipeline so that they would be forced to buy gas from the U.S at double the price.

I believe that another very important question in a crime investigation is... cui bono?
