- Just think about it -
NATO said: "...it would retaliate for any attacks on the critical infrastructure..."
Question arises: Why did it not happen?
Wait a moment!: Did they actually mean they would counter a "Russian retaliation"?
But then that must mean: They know that it was done by one of its member states!?
29 Sept 2022 - NATO Threatens Retaliation After Gas Leaks It Says Were Likely Sabotage
The NATO military alliance warned Thursday it would retaliate for any attacks on the critical infrastructure of its 30 member countries and joined other Western officials in citing sabotage as the likely cause of damage to two natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.
The official NATO statement
29 Sept 2022 - The NATO Invitees associate themselves with this Statement.
1. The damage to the Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 pipelines in international waters in the Baltic Sea is of deep concern. All currently available information indicates that this is the result of deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage. These leaks are causing risks to shipping and substantial environmental damage. We support the investigations underway to determine the origin of the damage.
2. We, as Allies, have committed to prepare for, deter and defend against the coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors. Any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.
[MRT: The statement just does not make any sense. NATO can not retaliate against own member attacking its infrastructure.So what was this statement about? Could it be that NATO was aware who has executed the mission and was worrying against Russian retaliation?]
