After playing video from a January press briefing in which a State Department spokesperson warned that “if Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,” anthropomorphized Lands End catalog and unregistered Hungarian agent Tucker Carlson raises the claim that the Biden Administration ordered someone to sabotage the pipeline, which malfunctioned this week, because Vladimir Putin would never do something stupid that ends up harming himself.
“One way or the other, we’ll stop Nord Stream.” Now looking back, those words seem chilling eight months later as natural gas pours into the Baltic Sea and into the atmosphere. So you have to ask, could the Biden Administration really do something like this? [Editor’s Note: No, no you don’t ‘have to ask’ that.] We can’t say for sure. We don’t know for sure. We can tell you that close allies of the Biden White House believe they certainly did do it.
