Sweden plans to close its investigation into the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea in 2022 after apparently failing to identify a suspect, several German media outlets reported on Tuesday. According to information from the Sueddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit newspapers, and broadcasters NDR and WDR, the prosecutor leading Sweden's investigation will announce the end of the proceedings in the country in the coming days. The Swedish prosecutor's press spokesperson declined to comment on the media report, citing the ongoing investigation.
They went from blaming Putin for destroying his own pipeline, to blaming Ukranians- who by that logic may as well have sailed across the Black Sea, Med, and North Sea to probably plant the bombs from a rubber dinghy- to now once again pretending no one could know who did it (or who promised to do it, who had the means and motive to do it, was in the vicinity for naval exercises, was exposed by credible sources with receipts as to exactly how they did it, etc)…
I suppose if Europe and the west has been a plague upon the rest of humanity for the past 500 years, it is only right that they should be unable to change their ways even as they spiral to the grave. There’s certainly something very satisfying and undignified about all this. (obviously I’d prefer things to get better, but I’ll take what I get)
