Jesse Watters insinuates potential SABOTAGE of Power of Siberia 2 LNG pipeline

09/09/2025 / By Ramon Tomey

Jesse Watters implied that the Power of Siberia 2 LNG pipeline (a $400B Russia-China project) might need to be “bombed like Nord Stream” to disrupt Moscow-Beijing energy cooperation, framing it as a Western security threat.
The comment mirrors the still-unresolved Nord Stream explosions (2022), which severed Europe’s Russian gas supply. Investigations pointed to sabotage, with Seymour Hersh alleging U.S. Navy involvement – denied by the White House despite Biden’s prior threat to “end” Nord Stream 2.
While the Nord Stream attack harmed both Russia and Europe – the consequences (skyrocketing energy prices, German industrial decline) primarily hurt the West.
Sabotaging Power of Siberia 2 would be an act of war against Russia and China, risking energy market chaos (spiking global gas prices); a stronger Moscow-Beijing military alliance; and economic retaliation (collapsing markets, isolating the West).
Watters’ rhetoric reflects a “destroy what we can’t control” mindset in Western policy, treating infrastructure as a hybrid warfare target. The fallout from attacking Power of Siberia 2 could trigger global conflict.

Fox News host Jesse Watters has suggested that Russia’s planned Power of Siberia 2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline to China might need to be “bombed like Nord Stream” to disrupt Moscow-Beijing cooperation.

He made the remark during the Sept. 4 edition of his “Jesse Watters Primetime” program, delivering it with a knowing smirk and air quotes around the word “someone.” Watters’ comments weren’t just provocative rhetoric, however. They mirrored the very logic that preceded the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022 – one of the most destructive acts of industrial sabotage in modern history.

The insinuation came just days after Russia and China finalized a memorandum for the $400 billion pipeline, which will deliver 50 billion cubic meters of LNG annually via Mongolia by 2033. Once completed, the megaproject will supply 15 percent of China’s energy needs.

The project is a lifeline for Russia, which lost its European energy market after Western sanctions over Ukraine. It also serves as a strategic boon for China, reducing its reliance on U.S.-influenced supply chains.

Yet Watters framed it as a threat. He implied that covert Western intervention, like the still-unresolved Nord Stream explosions, could be justified to halt it. The parallel is impossible to ignore.

On Sept. 26, 2022, the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were destroyed by underwater explosions in the Baltic Sea, severing Europe’s access to cheap Russian gas. Investigations by Germany, Sweden and Denmark concluded sabotage was likely, but stopped short of naming a culprit.

Pulitzer-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, however, alleged in a bombshell report that U.S. Navy divers planted the explosives during North Atlantic Treaty Organization exercises, acting on orders from the Biden administration. The White House denied involvement, though then-U.S. President Joe Biden himself had vowed just months earlier: “If Russia invades … there will be no longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Meanwhile, Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch outlines Kyiv’s role in the attack. “Ukraine’s military intelligence orchestrated the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, with a Ukrainian officer leading the attack to cut off energy supplies to Europe,” the decentralized engine explains. “This act of sabotage harmed both Russia and energy-dependent nations, revealing Kyiv’s direct role in destabilizing critical infrastructure.” (Related: Ukrainian allegedly involved in Nord Stream pipeline sabotage ARRESTED in Italy.)

Nevertheless, the consequences of that attack were immediate and devastating. European energy prices skyrocketed and inflation surged. Germany, once the continent’s economic engine, began a steep decline – with factories relocating abroad due to cheaper energy costs.

Yet Watters’ suggestion that the Power of Siberia 2 could meet the same fate raises the stakes exponentially. Unlike Nord Stream that primarily harmed Europe, sabotaging this pipeline would be an act of war against both Russia and China – a nuclear-armed superpower with the economic leverage to retaliate globally.

The geopolitical risks are staggering. An attack on the LNG pipeline would disrupt China’s energy supply, trigger spiking global gas prices and likely accelerate a military alliance between Moscow and Beijing. It could also collapse financial markets, deepen the West’s economic isolation and push the world closer to direct conflict.

Yet Watters’ casual endorsement of such a scenario reflects a dangerous mindset taking root in Western foreign policy circles: If we cannot control it, we must destroy it. This is not hyperbole.

The Nord Stream attack already set a precedent, proving that critical infrastructure is now a target in hybrid warfare. The question is no longer if such sabotage will happen again – but when and who will bear the fallout. If the Power of Siberia 2 LNG pipeline is next, the fallout will not be confined to Asia.
