Surely you have not missed the news about the explosion of the Nord Stream 1 submarine pipeline that supplies Germany with gas. East and West blame each other for this explosion. Photos of the destroyed pipeline have finally been revealed. On Tuesday Sweden released the first photos from the damaged Russian Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany.
Watch the footage
The gatewaypundit.com reported: The footage was published by the Swedish newspaper Expressen. A huge explosion measuring 2.3 on the Richter Scale caused a massive hole and 50 meters of damage to the pipeline.
It is clear the explosion was not caused by Russia or they would have reported that by now. Sweden is not sharing its investigation which seems odd unless they are trying to protect someone.
