I bet his single source was a Russian GRU agent.

After all as a friend of mine put it:


"This story makes no sense. All of the purported advantages that the US stood to gain by blowing the pipeline up would have been achieved anyway.
The US and Norway were already making record LNG sales to Russia when this thing blew up.
Russia had already completely screwed up it's position in the European energy market by invading Ukraine.
Germany was already weaning itself from Russian energy at significant cost to it's economy.
The potential political fallout from making a move like this would have been spectacular - epoch forming, even so why the heck would you risk that for no foreseeable gain?"
