My take on #NordStream explosions 💥 3 total leaks, 2 on #NS1, 1 on #NS2. Neither CURRENTLY in use to ship gas due to breakdown in relations btwn #Russia & #Europe over #RussiaUkraineWar 1/8

#NordStream leaks are near #Bornholm, #Denmark. 12 nautical miles from international waters, 70 meters deep = dive-able 🤿 2/8

Very hard to imagine that this was an accident, deep sea pipeline leaks are pretty rare. It is likely sabotage. Could be divers, likely not a spy submarine for a variety of reasons #NordStream 3/8

Implications are huge. Europe is already in #EnergyCrisis trying to divorce itself from #Russia #energy supplies. This is a clear signal that Russia is not going to deliver gas to Europe in the near future. Europe will have to get it elsewhere, & global market is tight 4/8
Infrastructure is vulnerable. Main principle ofRussian warfighting is attacking critical infrastructure #SODCIT.

European #energy infrastructure is vulnerable. New #BalticPipe between #Norway & #Poland (inaugurated today!) also critical #LNG import terminals. #NordStream 6/8

The #NordStream leak shows why spare energy capacity is CRITICAL for security. #Europe does not have this, & that is a big problem. #EnergySecurity 7/8

Big takeaway: #Europe-#Russia energy bridge is dead ☠️ in the water. No going back. RU pivot to Asia to sell #energy, Europe has to find it somewhere else. This is will have huge economic & societal impacts. Buckle up. 8/8
