    I read all the theories. All I can muster is ‘oh no, not Russia’s pipeline.’ Seems like however you cut it, Russia did this to themselves by invading Ukraine. They were kind of on a more decent path towards meaningful integration for a minute. Would have been good for common Russians and everyone else if they’d stayed on that path. But, instead their leadership decided on extreme aggression.

      If America did blow up the pipelines, it would have been a NATO country blowing up critical infrastructure (an act of war) of another NATO country (Germany).

      That would, in fact, be a very fucking big deal.

      It is (or rather was, before America destroyed it) also German infrastructure, it’s not just “Russia’s pipeline”.

      Spot the yank. You terrorist scumbags started this war to “weaken Russia” and carried out this sabotage to make sure Europeans were forced to buy your stinking environmentally destructive LPG. It was Russia and Europe’s pipeline.

      You can’t compete in the free market, you can’t compete in war with anyone, so all you’ve got is bullshit like this and terrorist scumbaggery.

        Lol, sure, the US started the war by making Russia invade Ukraine. It’s amazing how many US spies there are in Russia to be able to make them invade another sovereign country on US’s behalf.
