Sweden's National Seismology Center recorded underwater blasts in the area near the pipelines with magnitude readings of 1.9 and 2.3. Joe Biden, the CIA, and Victoria Nuland of the State Department all said months ago that this very incident would happen. The Senate just advanced a spending bill with $35 million for the Department of Energy to "prepare for and respond to potential nuclear and radiological incidents in Ukraine." The spending bill also brings the total US expenditure for Ukraine to $67 billion.

Tucker Carlson reported that a new pipeline, the Baltic Pipe, was unveiled on September 27, the same day as the explosions, that carries non-Russian natural gas and stretches from Norway through Denmark to Poland and other countries nearby.
