💬 WWII-era ordnance on the Baltic Sea floor is complicating the investigation into the suggested acts of subversion on the #NordStream1 and #NordStream2 gas pipelines, according to Danish Defence Minister Morten Bødskov, who was speaking before a NATO meeting. He said the region is known for having WWII-era ordnance, both exploded and unexploded, and given the amount on the seabed, it is not easy to conduct an investigation.
I have a few questions for the Danish Defence Minister:
1. WWII-era ordnance did not interfere with the laying of the pipeline, did it?
2. Can you explain what a modern NATO mine destroyer was doing under the Nord Stream 1 pipeline in 2015?
3. Does Mr Bodskov know that all the forest in Moscow’s northern suburbs, which the Germans advanced through, is still littered with ordnance from WWII? But this doesn’t prevent us from building housing, factories and roads.
