As always, this channel has annoying clickbait thumbnails, but the information in the video is reasonably presented.

For all the Nordstream chat, if they wanted to keep using it, couldn’t they just, like, repair it?

As I understand it the biggest issue with that is seawater ingress into the pipelines due to there being, yknow a giant gaping hole in them. As you can imagine the sea water causes major corrosive damage so the sections of pipe that were affected need to be replaced.

As far as how long the affected sections are, I don't know. I don't know if there are any shutoff valves and at what intervals they're situated. Maybe the entire pipeline is affected and it all needs to be replaced?

The Russians have a pipe laying vessel (Fortuna) and a pipe production plant in Chelyabinsk so they might be able to do a lot of the work themselves, but remember that Nord Stream is a large part made using western technology, which they've lost access to. So they very likely won't be able to without outside help.

Also, if you remember when Russia was still using """Maintenance""" of NS1 as an excuse to blackmail Germany into opening NS2 by starving them of gas, they had a whole bit about a compressor that they couldn't get due to sanctions. You know, the compressor that was made by German company Siemens and was being serviced in Canada. My point being that they simply don't have the required domestic capability to support the pipelines.

As long as there are sanctions, they can't do anything to fix NS. And even if by some miracle they were to be lifted, Germany isn't ever trusting Russia with their energy security ever again, so Nord stream is dead and buried.

I doubt this. A lot of people expected that would happen when the Soviet Union broke up. Seems unlikely that it would happen after more than 30 years of independence if it didn't then.
Give it 5-10 years it'll happen. It depends on how the transnistria situation is resolved.

That's nice. Now try liberating Chasiv Yar, Konstantynivka, and Ivanivske nearby and tell everyone how many months that's going to take. Average it out for a month for each village, and maybe the Russians might be able to reach Sloviansk and Kramatorsk in a few years.

This legitimately seems to be the plan for the Russians. Keep inching forward until the West gets bored and stops supporting Ukraine.

I've been caught off guard by surprise terrible people before, like people who I mistakenly had good opinions of suddenly pulling super weird "facts" out of their rear end to defend surprisingly bad opinions that I was just plain flabbergasted that they apparently held, and being caught off guard I felt kind of dumb not having any easily demonstrable facts or arguments on hand to back up any counterclaims. Apparently, they got these opinions and nonfacts from somewhere before they ended up inside their arse hole, and had I been more open to dumb poo poo ahead of time, I would have been better prepared for this particular encounter, and might have been able to more easily show this person the poo poo coming out of their mouth for what it was, because I would have had the counter arguments on hand.

Yeah sure don't self-flagellate, that's useless. I'm arming myself.
