#1 Chemistry, physics, and Russian maintenance.

Very plausible; very convincing; very likely. Don't need no nefarious bad guys.

#2 Putin's TV propagandists gleefully pounce on Nord Stream conspiracy theories that West was behind sabotage - with claims that BRITAIN sent in divers adding to Kremlin's claim that the blast was 'state sponsored terrorism'

#4 MI6 / MoD InfoOps bullshit: “fact”

#5 A plausible theory to a non-expert like me. Russian industry has never been a model of efficiency. But Biden and Nuland implicated themselves by threatening to "end" the pipelines back in January if Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine and now the pipelines have ended. Cause and effect? Dunno but I don't hear the White House denying it. We have theories and we have theories. Another theory is that it's gonna be a cold winter in Europe.

#6 Hopefully Europeans can keep warm by burning the furniture of anyone involved in an energy policy decision the last 20 years.

#7 I am under the impression that the undersea leg(s) are a European Project - Russian pipeline on land connecting to said project - if that is so, wouldn't they be responsible for the maintenance of said structure?

Out of my understanding; just trying to make sure the pieces on the board are set up right, and please correct or expand.

#9 Weren’t there supposedly “detonations?”

With this theory, it was a massive depressurization event. Several hundred pounds of hydro plug ripping through the pipe wall at a bend and the several hundred bars of pressure in the pipe coming out very quickly. Can trip seismographs and sound like an explosion. Experts can tell the difference but most of those will be in SCIFs and have classified information around that area.

#10 Heard a big one some 30 miles+ away go pop. Could even hear the burn-off.

#11 A first blast was recorded by seismologists early on Monday south east of the Danish island of Bornholm. A second, stronger blast north east of the island that night was equivalent to a magnitude 2.3 earthquake.
