He believes that the Nord Streams were damaged in order to “finish off completely” the European economy.

Sachs added that there is information that US military helicopters based in Gdansk, Poland, were in the emergency area.

He also said that Washington had previously threatened to end the Nord Stream.

The economist said that his interlocutors from around the world believe that the United States is responsible for what happened. 

“Even our newspaper reporters who deal with this topic have privately confessed to me: “Yes, of course it is, it’s just that our media is silent about it,” Sacks said.
