Escobar: Nord Stream Sabotage Propels ‘Disaster Capitalism’ To New, Toxic Level<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

The sabotage of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) pipelines in the Baltic Sea has ominously propelled\u00a0\u2018Disaster Capitalism\u2019 to a whole new, toxic level.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This episode of Hybrid Industrial\/Commercial War, in the form of a terror attack against energy infrastructure in international waters signals the absolute collapse of international law, drowned by a \u201cour way or the highway\u201d, \u201crules-based\u201d, order.<\/p>\n

The attack on both pipelines consisted of multiple explosive charges detonated in separate branches close to the Danish island of Bornholm, but in international waters.<\/p>\n

That was a sophisticated operation, carried out in stealth in the shallow depth of the Danish straits. That would in principle rule out submarines (ships entering the Baltic are limited to a draught of 15 meters). As for prospective \u201cinvisible\u201d vessels, these could only loiter around with permission from Copenhagen \u2013 as the waters around Borholm are crammed with sensors, reflecting fear of incursion by Russian submarines.<\/p>\n

Swedish seismologists registered two underwater explosions on Monday \u2013 one of them estimated at 100 kg of TNT. Yet as much as 700 kg may have been used to blow up three separate pipeline nodes. Such amount could not have possibly been delivered in just one trip by underwater drones currently available in neighboring nations.<\/p>\n

The pressure on the pipelines dropped exponentially. The pipes are now filled with seawater.<\/p>\n

The pipes on both NS and NS2 can be repaired, of course, but hardly before the arrival of General Winter. The question is whether Gazprom \u2013 already focused on several hefty Eurasian customers \u2013\u00a0 would bother, especially considering that Gazprom vessels could be exposed to a possible NATO naval attack in the Baltic.<\/p>\n
