Recap
I really did not plan to continue this topic beyond Part 3... but here we are.
In the previous three segments I talked about the expanding energy crisis in Europe, which continues to get worse, and the continuing drought.
Nord Stream Destroyed
The Euro energy crisis is now guaranteed to last until 2024 at the earliest... perhaps until 2026!
The Nord Stream pipelines were blown up in what seems to be an act of sabotage by unknown actors. It is known that both of the Nord Stream 1 pipes were destroyed. At least one, and possibly both, of the Nord Stream 2 pipes were damaged or destroyed.
Evidence for sabotage comes from the Swedish Seismic Network which recorded two large underwater explosions in the area where there is now a massive gas leak roiling in the Baltic. (Click the pic) The leak is so large that there is a churning bubble of methane 1/2 mile in diameter.

What Next?
There is no immediate effect on Europe since Russia had already shut off the flow of gas in retaliation to Euro-American sanctions. (Note, the pipes had to remain pressurized although no gas was being delivered).
However, the destruction of the pipelines means that there is no possibility of re-establishing the supply if Europe were to reach a reconciliation with Russia. Since Europe previously received about 40% of its NatGas supply from Russia, the coming winter will be bleak and many key industries (and jobs) will remain shut down indefinitely.
In an act of irony (or Karma) the Europeans are devastating their forests in a desperate attempt to stockpile firewood. They are quite literally destroying the Environment today because of their misguided policies to save the Climate of the future.
I have my theories on who is responsible.
