DISINFO: The truth about Nord Stream sabotage by the US could destroy NATO

SUMMARY

NATO has always allowed the United States to control Europe’s military policy. Now it’s dictating its energy policy, too.

Denmark refrains from pointing a finger at a likely culprit of the Nord Stream sabotage. And the reason is because the likeliest culprit is the United States. But Denmark, Sweden, everybody is afraid to say it. Once people admit what happened, NATO essentially goes up in air because an alliance is not a scheme for one member to attack another. It's a mutual defense pact, and the US violated it in spades. It is an explosion of the heart of the Western alliance – it will completely destroy the Western alliance. There is no way that NATO can survive this blow once it becomes too big to ignore.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the Nord Stream 2 sabotage, NATO and Europe’s alleged lack of sovereignty.

There is no evidence that the US was involved in the Nord Stream sabotage. However, this disinformation story abounds on this narrative as if it was an established fact. The Danish authorities closed the investigation because they assessed that there is not the sufficient grounds to pursue a criminal case in Denmark.

Allegations about Europe's submission to the US or NATO are also baseless.

See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that Nord Stream sabotage indicates loss of European sovereignty, that the US blew up Nord Stream so that the EU would arm Ukraine, that the West rejects investigating the Nord Stream explosions, or that Washington scapegoats Kyiv for Nord Stream explosion to restore relations with Germany.
