The Destruction of North Stream: A Declaration of War on Germany?

With the sabotage of ‘North Stream’, the EU has become a theater of war. It has become clear that this is not about Ukraine. We are dealing with a war waged by the USA against Russia, which is also directed against Germany in particular. Neither the FRG nor the EU are still independent players in this geopolitical game.
Filmmaker Gonzalo Lira sees the act of sabotage against North Stream as a declaration of war by the United States against the Europeans. Germany, in particular, has been declared war by its most important ally, he explains in a video. This is a steep thesis, but it should not be wiped away too quickly. Even after a brief reflection, it is clear that the U.S. is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the attack on the European gas infrastructure. They also have both the means and the opportunity to carry it out.
One does not have to agree with Lira on everything. But with the sabotage of North Stream, one thing has become clear: The theater of war has expanded. It is no longer just Ukraine where military actions are taking place. It is no longer just an economic war between the West and Russia. Germany and the EU have become the battleground with the attack on North Stream.
The German media, together with German politicians, point in the direction of Russia when it comes to the question of who is to blame. However, this is not very convincing. The USA has the greatest economic and power-political advantage.
Admittedly, this is all conjecture and merely circumstantial. There is currently no actual evidence of perpetration. But even if they are presented in the media at a later date, the greatest skepticism is warranted. Because there is a lot at stake, the power-political influence over Western Europe. Currently, Sweden, Denmark and Germany are investigating, and NATO has also announced its entry into the investigation. All of them are parties to the conflict with Russia. Objective results cannot be expected in this constellation. It is therefore important to remain skeptical.
It is hardly plausible that Russia would destroy its own infrastructure, in which it had previously invested billions. Especially since Russia could have achieved all the goals that the West accuses it of by simply shutting down the pipeline. Russia is literally in the driver's seat and can end gas transit with the push of a button. There is no need to damage the entire infrastructure. The Germans and the Europeans should ask themselves who has a greater interest here, who has the better motive, and also who has the least damage. All of this points away from Russia, and it points toward the United States.
Demands to open North Stream 2 in view of the gas shortage, as they came from German civil society, are now pointless. The at least theoretical prevention of the coming recession has come to an end. Europe's fate seems sealed - at least its economic fate. The German competitor has been eliminated. Because no matter who is responsible for the attacks on North Stream, it has taken Germany and the EU hostage by breaking the region's economic backbone.
The damage to the pipeline is extensive. A repair would be difficult, Gazprom has already said. Whether Gazprom has any interest in the repair at all is also an open question. The partners have been more than unreliable in the past.
In any case, the coming weeks and months will show how realistic Germany's and the EU's policy is, which promised to be able to free itself from dependence on Russian gas in the relatively short term.
They were always very grandiose announcements: green hydrogen, energy transition, enormous investments and new strategic collaborations. Well, get on with it, you might say, because now time is really running out. Against the backdrop of what is happening, the impression is created that the EU and German politicians have been running their mouths too full. What is clear in any case is that the North Stream blow-up was a real turning point.
The attack is obviously intended to cut the link between the EU and Russia. It is not Russia that has an interest in this. It is also happening at a time when civil protest in Western European countries against the sanctions policy of US-friendly political elites is escalating.
The well-being of Germany and Europe is now being sacrificed for the sake of war. And the goal of the war can now be formulated more clearly. It is not about Ukraine. It is not about its territorial integrity. Nor is it about democracy versus autocracy. This war, as has become clear, is a war between the United States and Russia. The course of the war in Ukraine will not be affected by the attack on North Stream.
Now Europe has arrived at war. And it turns out that the EU has no means to survive in this war, especially when the hegemon turns against it and is ready to sacrifice Europe in the game for power and influence. The EU is not sovereign. If the enemy of Europe is not in the East but actually in the West, then Europe is without any resilience and defenseless against everything that is coming now. It doesn't have to be that way, but we should allow the thought that the U.S. is the enemy and has just declared war on the EU and Germany. It is time.

The war is not between nations.
What we are witnessing It's all fake.
It is just a play.
What is ongoing is a well planned war against the people on the planet.
It is the green shift, and the change of the money system into CBDC.
It is all a plan to bring the hole world population into a Technocrasy. A system which is the worst slavery that ever have existed on the earth.
Ukraina war, energi shortage and food shortage is all a well prepared and planned development. Nothing is by random or an accident
All is just an distraction taking focus away from the real issue.
Sensorship and fake news over the whole world are all part og the plan for the transformation of the humanity into a total slavery.
The EU has never been independent. It was always a horrible idea - now people are starting to "get it". Nationalism is not a dirty word. In fact it is the only thing that will save the world right now. We need politicians who understand this. There is a balance to be struck of course (think 1940s Germany) but to centralize governments and promote globalization is to kill the world. That is not an overstatement by the way.
