I'm skeptical of that claim. It is sourced entirely from an autobiography, and there's no corroborating evidence of the explosion from any other source.

> Russia has been pressuring Germany to re-open NordStrom 2 for weeks now.

Maybe, but Germany hasn't been close to yielding to that pressure.

It doesn't have to be close to yielding, or even particularly likely to be close in the future. Planning and accounting for unlikely contingencies is prudent.

Suppose analysts calculated a mere 5% chance Germany considers yielding to pressure this winter. Why take that risk? Blow up the pipe and bring that risk down to 0%.

Spread of Stuxnet is easily tracked: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet

Iran had the most infections and the virus is designed to attack centrifuges. Israel took over the code base during the Obama administration and made the virus more viral, but the targeting remained the same.

Essentially what you've written here is not only inaccurate but I'd say a conspiracy theory in that you're implying the US took custodianship of the code back and began using it again, which is entirely unfounded.

Have you read what you're linking to? :D

"The Siberian pipeline" article is pretty much disproving what you're claiming.
