The General & The Journalist · Who really blew up the Nord Stream pipeline? · 9 Sep 2026 podcast

Let's get on to who done it then, who who was behind all this, because there was a feeling this had to be done by a government, wasn't there?

A government must have ordered it and and and run the operation because of its complexity.

It was condemned by everybody at the time.

So NATO called it a reckless act of sabotage.

Russia called a special meeting of the UN Security Council to protest about it.

Sweden, Denmark, Germany, they all launched their own investigations.

I guess there are three chief

Suspects that emerged from from all this so through the days and days of finger pointing afterwards.

So the first place the finger was pointed at was Russia.

Why did suspicion originally fall of Russia and what would have been in it for the first time?

America, the United States.

So chief suspect number three, Ukraine.

And you can certainly see why the Ukrainians might want to blow up Nord Stream.

It would deny the Russians this huge pipeline of cash.

But also, motivations for Ukraine to do this i high risk.

Because if you do this, you run the risk and get caught for doing this, you run the risk of alienating Germany and all those big European powers that whose help you really need.

So why might Ukraine have done it?

Well it ended up being the German police, German investigators who ended up taking on the criminal investigation, and it took them some months, a lot of this finger pointing going on while they were doing it, but they did eventually identify some suspects via an intelligence tip off.

After the break, the clues, the arrests, and the race to uncover who really did blow up the Nord Stream pipeline and why the controversy continues today.

This episode of The Journal and the Journalist is brought to you by Team Orion.
