The mystery of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines continues to generate controversy months after the fact. Last week the Russians asked the United Nations Security Council to investigate the blasts as an act of war. Yesterday the council held a vote and declined to conduct such an investigation. The only members voting in favor of the resolution were China, Brazil, and, of course, Russia. Everyone else either abstained or voted no. Some of the members voting against the resolution actually offered a fairly good reason. There is already an investigation underway and it would be premature to jump into the middle of it before we know the results. But this definitely handed some additional ammunition to Moscow which continues to claim that it had nothing to do with it. (Associated Press)Read More
