Hopefully the U.S. did.
Hopefully. Good decision if true. doubt Brandon made it though.
If Brandon called it, I support it. But I doubt he did. He's obsessed with global warming. He'd rather the Russian annex all of Ukraine than release a cubic meter of methane into the atmostphere.
Choosing his ice cream is about the most important decision he can manage most days this far into brain death.
Sit your ass down please.

Was it me?
yes.
they don't care if europe freezes to death as long they get their war.
apparently we're a shitty ally.
First of all, why do you think only the US and Britain have that capability? Are France and Germany so completely backwards with their military? And then you think Russia can't do such a thing?
Why would it make sense for the US and Britain to blow up a pipeline that is not transporting any fuel? Russia can't sell its gas at full price and has the pipeline shut down so is getting no benefit from the pipeline. Sabotage would give them an excuse to not reopen the pipeline while at the same time trying to blame the US for the sabotage. While all the countries listed other than Germany would have a reason to do the sabotage, we don't know which one did and trying to claim Russia doesn't have the capability or a reason to do it would be ridiculous.

Was it me?
why would germany bomb it's own fuel supply line?
Yeah.. Maybe you should catch up on the news..

Nordstream 2 was never operational. Why would the US damage a pipeline that has never carried any fuel and Germany canceled?
So you are saying that Russia is so incompetent militarily that they can't blow up a pipeline?
Russia gets no propaganda benefit by being able to claim that the US is attacking Russia? The US isn't in a position to supply Germany's LNG this winter. It would be a horrible mistake for the US to force German citizens to freeze by destroying a pipeline that could prevent that. While Trump might be stupid enough to order it, I doubt Biden is.
He‘s a Trumper, of course he’s going to make such an accusation.
„McGregor has been popping up on various Fox News programs since the invasion, mostly to shill for Putin at a time when he’s unleashing hell on one of America’s allies.“

Iraq War
In 2004, Macgregor stated that he strongly supported war against Iraq, and regretted that the US had not enacted regime change in Iraq in 1991.[29] During the beginning of the Iraq War, Macgregor disagreed with those who wanted to slow the advance into Baghdad in order to fight Fedayeen paramilitary forces.[30] In 2006, after seven retired generals criticized then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's handling of the war, Macgregor faulted the generals themselves for poor war planning and the resulting complications in Iraq.[31] In 2008, Macgregor stated that he would argue that American military action in Iraq and Afghanistan "has produced very serious and negative consequences for American national-security interests".[32] Macgregor's 2009 book, Warrior's Rage: The Great Tank Battle of 73 Easting, argues that the failure to finish the battle with the Republican Guard in 1991 led to Iraq's second major confrontation with the United States in 2003.
Macgregor says that David Petraeus, Martin Dempsey, and other generals consistently exaggerated or falsified the effectiveness of the Iraqi army because "the generals were simply cultivating their Bush administration sponsors in pursuit of further promotion".[33]
By 2020, his website called the war in Iraq a failure.[19]
Kosovo War
In 2014, Macgregor went on Russian state-owned RT to express his opposition to U.S. intervention in the Kosovo War.[19]
Ukraine and Russia
2014 Russian annexation of Crimea
In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and was engaged in a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor appeared on Russian state-owned network RT where he called for the annexation of the Donbas and said residents of the region "are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians."[19][34]
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Macgregor appeared on three Fox News programs to speak in support of Russia's actions. Russian state television broadcast excerpts of Macgregor's appearances, which included a characterization of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "puppet," that Russian forces had been "too gentle" in the early days of the invasion and that Russian president Vladimir Putin was being "demonized" by the United States and NATO. Macgregor said he believed Russia should be allowed to seize whatever parts of Ukraine it wanted. After one of his appearances, Macgregor's comments were characterized by veteran Fox News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin as "appeasement" and that he was being an "apologist" for Putin. After Griffin's remarks, Tucker Carlson — who hosted Macgregor on two successive nights — remarked, "Unlike many of the so-called reporters you see on television, he is not acting secretly as a flack for Lloyd Austin at the Pentagon. No, Doug Macgregor is an honest man." Trey Gowdy, another Fox News host who interviewed Macgregor, said his viewpoint was "stunning and disappointing."[35][36][37][38] U.S. representative Liz Cheney said of Macgregor "This is the Putin wing of the GOP."[39]

That's exactly what they are saying.
Additionally, they're saying the Russians are wimps who let the US attack them and they refuse to do anything about it.
If Russia attacked one of our pipelines, it'd be an act of war. If anyone attacked a Russian pipeline, it, too, is an act of war. No different from sinking one of their ships.
There's no doubt in my mind that Putin had this done to send a message to those supporting Ukraine.
