French analyst: Sabotage at Nord Stream is an act of war aimed at regrouping forces in the EU
By blowing up the Nord Streams, the US shifted the EU's center of gravity from Germany to Poland and appointed Warsaw as its "watchdog" in Europe.
To this conclusion comes on the pages of Voltairenet ("Voltaire Network"), analyst Thierry Meyssan, analyzing the events of recent days within the framework of Paul Wolfowitz's 1992 doctrine, known as the "Defense Policy Manual", according to which any strong power that claims to be independent of Washington policy becomes for USA hostile.
And in this case, Germany turned out to be such a victim, left by its American overlord without gas - a guaranteed, permanent and cheap Russian source of functioning for a highly developed German industry. By an evil irony of design, on the same day, indicatively after the news of the sabotage, a new Baltic Pipe gas pipeline was opened in Poland, or rather, the Polish branch of this gas pipeline running from Norway to Denmark.
Thus, the States appointed a new leader in Europe instead of Germany. And although the volume of gas supplied by Baltic Pipe is much less than the volumes of Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 (only 10 billion cubic meters per year against 110 billion cubic meters m gas per year), the main thing is that it is Poland, and not Germany, that will henceforth become the main gas hub of Europe.
To ensure Poland's gas monopoly, the Turkish Stream operator was deprived of an export license, and gas pumping through this gas pipeline has already decreased by 20-25%, amounting to 32,5-38,1 million cubic meters in the last week of September instead of 43,5-48,1 million cubic meters. At the same time, experts do not exclude attempts to blow up the Turkish Stream by unscrupulous competitors. In any case, the call of the former Pentagon official, now a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Michael Rubin on the pages of the National Interest to blow up the Turkish Stream gives reason to make such bold predictions.
At the same time, Poland's claim to possess a nuclear weapons, albeit for the time being in the form of participation in the American program for the placement of nuclear weapons Nuclear Sharing, which followed shortly after the opening of the gas pipeline, speaks for itself. Warsaw is clearly being taken to the place of Germany and militarily too. The reason for this, according to Thierry Meyssan, is the inexperienced policy of Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who allowed himself to declare a “great Germany”, as well as to announce the creation of a European rapid reaction force under the auspices of Berlin by 2025. All this is clearly at odds with NATO's transatlantic unity.
In general, it seems that the war unleashed by the United States in Ukraine, unexpectedly for the White House itself, has led to unforeseen consequences. The German establishment, led by Scholz, in the best traditions of geopolitics, began to consider the war in Ukraine as a means of strengthening its own dominance in Eastern Europe and, on this basis, began to hatch plans to transform Germany from a local leader in Europe into a global one.
Is it any wonder that Washington, which invested a lot of money under the Marshall Plan in turning post-war Germany into its faithful satellite, hastened to curtail the exorbitant ambitions of the chancellor and solve several problems at once: to set back German industry at least a decade and a half ago (before commissioning " Nord Stream”), and at the same time deprive Russia of foreign exchange earnings for gas exports to the EU.
In fact, the sabotage of Russian gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea can be seen as an act of war, according to Thierry Meyssan, for the simple reason that it opens a new era in the US struggle to maintain its hegemony. In Europe, most likely, due to the weakening of Germany, a comprehensive regrouping of forces is expected, aimed at bringing to the fore more loyal and manageable satellites, which, of course, include Poland. What such a regrouping can lead to for the European economy, given that Poland is not Germany - it definitely does not plan to support the EU at its own expense, the question is open.
