100m diameter bubbles :O. Hope some good video footage comes out at some point!

I remember watching some TV documentary years ago where they hypothesised that some ships that went missing in certain areas sank due to large gas bubbles being released from the ocean floor... I bet any ships unlucky enough to have been sailing over the leaks would have had a very bad time....

Seems like a funny one in terms of motivation. Can't see any reason for any Western countries to damage it... Unless [conspiracy time] the USA's worried about Germany going soft in Russia and starting up supply again or something?

Or is this kind of a show of force from Russia that they have the ability to damage underwater infrastructure and could do the same to say some power interconnectors or trans-atlantic fibre optic cables etc? Maybe they think the pipeline won't ever be fully used again in future so might as well use it as a demonstration?

It's almost as if the leadership changed in the 8 years since that happened and got rid of the more extreme parts of the Government.

If anything today the ukrainian government have more extreme elements.

You guys need to admit that nato is backing(for the last decade) nazis in ukraine, in order to infiltrate the government and attack the Russians that live in the east ukraine.

It said bubbles were seen across an area of 100m^2, not that the bubbles were that big. I think I saw the doc you mentioned. Bermuda Triangle thing, I think.

I remember watching that too. They did experiments and it was a feasible theory. Although they did say this in no way explained aircraft going missing.
 
I reckon this is work of a Russian submarine and torpedo's. The size of the bubbles mean the holes in the pipes must be very large.

Putin knows he's boned with regards to sending gas via these pipelines so he's damaged them as a statement to show he can do the same with the new norwegian under-sea pipeline about to open or any other infrastructure such as fibre optic cables and keep potential deniability as it's arguably an act of war.

They need to get diver's down there and try to find evidence and proof it was a russian torpedo, then things will ramp up.

The odd thing is; Are Russia continuing to send gas down the pipe from their end?
Unburned gas is an environmental disaster at the rate it''s being pumped out, it's an ongoing hazard for shipping but I guess Russia just want's to stir up yet more trouble.

The Russians in Donbas are under attack from all loyal Ukranians for trying to gain independence from Ukraine, not because they are Russian. They should have moved to Russia.

Stopping gas flow is sort of unprecedented, and probably not really something they thought they'd ever have to do.

In theory the pipe is still full of gas but should remain pressurised, and no new gas should be getting pumped into it.

In which case the gas is being displaced by seawater, not a bad outcome.
