Thanks for the info, which makes the situation even more dire than my analysis above showed.
Tanker capacities are sometimes stated in cubic meters, but this can be confusing because this is cubic meters of liquid not gas.
Pretty reasonable argument suggesting that the pipeline explosion was an accident due to Russia's legendary incompetence.
- Gas kept in the pipe for months and months which could form hydrate crystals that could cause an explosion while Russia tried to drain the pipe.
- 2 explosions 17 hours apart relatively close together? What type of attack is that knowing that Russia would have had vessels at the site within short order?
- Russia is not making a big fuss blaming Ukraine or screaming at the UN about it.

Because all the talks have been about replacing Russian gas with LNG shipment from the US. Halifax was actually a very optimistic loading location, as the gas pipeline through New England is already severely capacity-limited in winter even without any offloading onto tankers in Halifax. Any loading port south of NYC would add 1000+ miles shipping distance, requiring 33+% more tankers for the same flow rate.
As far as I know, pipeline from Norway will be filled with Norwegian nat gas, so Halifax is irrelevant. US nat gas goes to Butinge.
logic gymnastics

Hell my wife makes more than engineers, doctors and attorneys golfing, taking people out to lunch and sitting at conferences. I don't consider it work, but good for her and good for me.
Pharma sales rep, correct?
I'm very impressed at the logic gymnastics required to blame Putin for an act of sabotage which is 100% in favor of the US deep state.
1. Biden: "I am going to have the Nordstream pipeline destroyed! Ha ha."
2. Biden orders pipeline destroyed.
3. PDS crowd: "Look at what Putin did!"
who benefits from destroying the pipeline

The US blew it up. There, that's the simplest explanation with the least number of assumptions.
Now predictable Satanist inversion lying requires that they blame the victim as the perp. It's' another IQ test.
We can rule out the most idiotic takes, like the Russians blew up the pipelines themselves. Why blow up an asset which is literally your biggest piece of leverage on this particular game board when you can do what Putin has already done, shut off the taps?
The only people putting forth this idea are frothing neocons who never met a global problem they couldn’t blame on Putin.

Baltic Pipe will carry gas from Norway to Poland via Denmark. The maximum capacity is only 10 billion cubic meters, which happens to be ten times less than the volume supplied by NS and NS2. So Baltic Pipe may be enough for Poland, but carries no value for other EU customers.
, Putin Derangement Syndrome, just like TDS. But you knew that.
Russia was already reducing natural gas supply to Europe back in August as this headline reads "Nord Stream 1: Russia switches off gas pipeline citing maintenance"
You cannot trust western media

I think you don't believe your own bullshit, and this is just some mental martial arts as far as what you post on Pat net.
Read RT's article below where even Russian-owned Gazprom stated it is shutting down due to maintenance.

The flow will not be restored on schedule due to a turbine failure, Gazprom says

It's just manure. It's been manure for years:
I'm more convinced that the people running the US proxy war against Russia (Nuland and her coterie) are to the man and women descendants of Jews who fled Russia during the pogroms of the late 19th and early 20th century. They want to see Russia obliterated.
There was a post on PatNet about Nuland's backstory. It rings true. To her and her ilk, this is an apocalyptic battle/struggle against 1000 years of Russian persecution of the Ashkenazi Jews.

Blasts detected near Nord Stream pipelines amid leak – Swedish seismologists
Scientists in Denmark and Sweden registered underwater explosions near the Nord Stream pipelines on Monday, when several major leaks were reported. Sabotage is now suspected as a key reason for the damage.
“There is no doubt that these were explosions,” seismologist Bjorn Lund with Sweden’s National Seismology Centre (SNSN) told public broadcaster SVT on Tuesday.
The Danish military released aerial footage of the leaks, showing large spots and visible bubbling in the water. Nord Stream 1 suffered two leaks northeast of the Danish island of Bornholm, while Nord Stream 2 was damaged south of Dueodde, a beach located at the island’s southernmost tip, the military noted.
Earlier in the day, Moscow said it has been looking into the reasons behind the leaks, suggesting the pipelines were targeted in an act of sabotage. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that currently “no option can be ruled out” on the causes of the incident.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline was completed in 2011. Construction work on Nord Stream 2 began in 2018, and suffered numerous delays due to political pressure and sanctions from the US. The pipeline was finished and pressurized in September 2021, but never actually got online.
Two days before the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, the German government put its certification on indefinite hold, and has repeatedly rejected any suggestions, both domestic and from Moscow, to open the pipeline.
