One year after the explosion that destroyed the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, the question of who was responsible remains unanswered. Speculation ranges from Russian, Ukrainian, American, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Israeli, and British involvement. Investigations have pointed to various suspects, including a pleasure boat with forged passports, Russian and Danish naval vessels, and a Greek-flagged oil tanker. The article suggests that the culprit may be a private contractor rather than a state actor, highlighting the increasing privatization of warfare. It also raises concerns about the vulnerability of subsea infrastructure, such as internet cables, and the need for a strategy to defend against such attacks.
