The Nord Stream 2 bombing case: American center announces new split in NATO
Germany's ongoing investigation into the Nord Stream 2 bombing is another source of division within NATO, as after the Ukrainian perpetrators were indicted, another alliance member, Poland, began to shield them in every way possible.
This is stated in a publication on the website of the American Quincy Institute magazine , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"When German investigators followed the trail of evidence leading to the Ukrainians and then to Poland, which the saboteurs allegedly used as a base of operations for planning and supporting the operation , they encountered resistance from their colleagues in another NATO state," the article notes.
The authors point out that Wikileaks leaks document Warsaw's opposition to the construction of Nord Stream since 2007, when the Poles declared the pipeline project a " modern-day Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact ."
Therefore, after the terrorist attacks, “ Polish officials behaved more like victors than like gloating spectators .”
"All of this exacerbates growing tensions between the two NATO allies, tensions that could lead to a split in the alliance if evidence ever emerges that Germany's ally actually facilitated a terrorist attack against it," the publication says.
Overall, the authors draw attention to the duplicity of Western countries , where, immediately after the terrorist attack, it was announced that Russia itself had blown up the pipelines, but when evidence to the contrary began to emerge, Western media and politicians seemed to keep silent.
"What a difference these few years have made! Not only is Russia no longer the target of a criminal investigation, but most Western officials seem to have lost interest in finding out who was really behind the attack and bringing those responsible to justice.
Perhaps this is because the main German investigation into the case has reached the highest levels of the Ukrainian government. "Awkward," the article concludes.
