Those pipelines are hard to empty and also hard to start and restart. I doubt it would be an easy process to “plug it up” or do something more permanent. It’s very serious. Serious like there’s no way it’s fixed within a few months

But I don’t know exactly how those pipelines work. Generally, undersea methane pipelines are hard as fuck to fix even when flow is interrupted. But that was never my expertise in engineering

Edit: didn’t answer your original question. There are three leaks (probably) coming from three different damaged sections of pipeline
Why would Russia remove their bargaining chip though?

Now Europe definitely won't let up in Ukraine.

Russia would be in a much better place with the pipe in place. With the ability to turn gas on when EU agrees to back down.

Then again, Russia could have done it to make it look like the US did it.

There's also that video of Biden saying they would shut it down.

Also how did they do it? We just saw their military's operations manuals say: throw men inside refrigerators over the boarder with catapults and let god sort it out.

I don't pretend to be familiar with the Ukraine conflict but I do find Russians as a people interesting. They are always playing every end of every issue they can perceive.

What could they possibly stand to gain from this?

Meanwhile, the richest 1% in the USA stand to gain trillions.

What I don't understand is why hasn't the US jumped at the opportunity to provide oil to Europe.

I'm guessing the logistics aren't in place to offer a better price. But I suppose price won't matter when you don't have any other choice and it's in the middle of Winter.

Because a party flip of that magnitutde would take a few years of conditioning (just wait, we will get rid of another 100 million tones of our reserves for the highest bidder and the again, us citizen will see nothing)

The fact that this has only happened once, under joe fucking crime sydnicate biden, is enough to make me salivate for the day that this country turns into a warzone.

I am going to say something that this thread may not have ever heard said before.

I don't know.
