"Any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response."
Excuse my confusion: is this pipeline Russia's critical infrastructure or "Allies" critical infrastructure.
Also excuse me but isn't "Allies" the WWII term against "Axis" countries.
So which is Germany these days?
Within the context of a NATO communique, the term "Allies" would be the natural reference to the members of the NATO alliance.
My reading of the communique was that NATO is more concerned with infrastructures within the Baltic that are demonstrably NOT Russian in any capacity (e.g., the Baltic Pipeline just opened between Norway and Poland).
One of the challenges the Nord Stream attack poses is what does one do about such an attack, even if the responsible party can be provably identified? In the globalist mindset that has dominated geopolitical thinking particularly in Europe for decades, this sort of attack just doesn't happen--it cuts against the very premise of a globalist integrated economy.
One of the realities of the Nord Stream attack is that it shows unmistakably that the era of globalism is fading, and fading fast. How the world manages international infrastructures such as pipelines in a deglobalized political environment is a question no one has yet contemplated (or answered).
Unless you see the blowing up of the pipeline as being in line with Globalists' agenda to make energy scarce and expensive, and thus kill off some more people.
