Why would I want to deflect blame from Biden? I’m telling you that I’m a European and I don’t care who’s in charge in the US or which president did what.

Why did you feel the need to say that you don't care about internal US politics when I didn't say shit about internal US politics?

All I did was post a clip of the US president promising that he'll stop NordStream if Russia invaded Ukraine, despite not having the legal authority to do so. Then, of course, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the NordStream pipeline mysteriously got stopped (could be anyone, really!)

because that sabotage was very convenient for every party

It certainly wasn't convenient for Russia or Germany.

You mentioned that I may want to deflect the responsibility from Biden. -> I don’t have such interests.

I doubt that it would have been politically acceptable to switch to more expensive gas without blowing up the Nordstream. Whoever did it knew that it was essential to steer the EU against Russia.

Again, why did you feel the need to say that you don’t care about internal US politics when I didn’t say shit about internal US politics?

Whoever did it

Yeah, could be Russia's biggest geopolitical rival that directly benefited both politically and economically by forcing Europe to buy their gas instead and which said that it would do that exact thing under those exact conditions and easily have the means to do it, or it could've been anyone, really.

It could have been Ukraine as the current investigation suggests. I would not be surprised of EU support either.
