It is clearly the USA that nerfed Norf Stream, either using it's own forces (almost certain) or through allied or mercenary proxies

There is nothing that is clear right now. You couldn't even be able to reassure the world they weren't all in on it together. Russia could have done to send a message they are done and won't be looking back, especially if they get the full China market which is three quarters larger than the European market. It could, as he suggested, been done by the powers that be behind Germany, the EC, to send a message the era of getting gas from Russia is over. It could be the US but in retaliation for invading Ukraine I highly doubt. Nor that they can get a bigger piece of the pie than Trump got. Now if Russia had gone for those green energy mines they set up in Ukraine I could believe that it was because they invaded Ukraine. If the US did it than I am more inclined to believe it, as an editorial I came across the other day stated, to set back Germany from their expansionist foreign encroachments and give themselves more time to as John Kerry would put it, get ahead of the game because he stated we were so far behind in the green energy game. He also stated after the blast that the Inflation Reduction Act would help the US built an industry based on green energy. Once they can do that they can do as Germany has been doing for the last several years and peddle their goods and services through demands that development bank monies be used in part for exactly that if they want the money, in other words they will dictate demands upon countries needing money.

I like that Virgin ran that ad. It lets me know that Virgin is a vendor I should avoid. I appreciate useful information like that.

You have to keep an insight to the fact that these companies, much like we find ourselves being dictated to, are being forced to go woke, they are not doing it voluntarily. If they do not meet the demands of such as Black Rock, Fidelity and Vanguard they risk being proxied out, losing their voting power or expelled from listings on their sites.

Ardern is right about freedom of speech. It is the weapon that will win the ongoing war between overlords and society. She is right to oppose it, because humanity must oppose her and her ilk or perish abjectly, and we will forthrightly discuss that necessity in order to vanquish parasites.

Spot on, I couldn't have said it better.
