Best analysis I've read yet-----Nordstream | The LawDog Files

Nordstream | The LawDog Files
  • "...I call them “incidents” for a reason. 
I grew up in overseas oilfields....
And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it’s Tuesday. 
Or Friday. 
Or another day of the week ending in “y”.
“But, LawDog,” I hear you say, “It was multiple explosions!”

No military is going to arrange for two pipes in the same general area to be destroyed 17 hours apart....
Pipelines running methane, under saltwater, require PMCS* quicker than you’d think, and more often than you’d believe.
I would bet a cup of coffee that any of the required weekly and monthly checks and services since the Russians took over have been pencil-whipped. (See Andreev Bay 1982.)...
  • Yeah, there’s problems with those lines. And these are the same folks that PMCS’d Chernobyl...
