This is truly a “black swan” sort of event, in that

now its precluded for Europe and Russia to agree in some way

to turn the pipes back on and deliver the gas

over the upcoming winter.

Without a means of delivery

it doesn’t matter what you want to do; you simply can’t do it.  And while I’m sure the damage can be repaired that’s not a “few day” or “couple of weeks” problem in a circumstance like this.”

That’s the key. Who wants to preclude Europe

from reaching an agreement with Russia?

That would be the self appointed guardians of

the self defined “rules-based order.

Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, and the rest of the gang. If the EU breaks ranks, then NATO collapses. It’s in Russia’s interest to keep that practical possibility open;

it’s in Neocon/Globalist interests to keep the EU—and especially Germany

in subjugation to the rules-based order. 

Besides, we have Zhou’s word

that the US will engage in this type of economic terrorism:
