    I have no idea. I will note Germany has not been the best NATO partner during the Ukraine crisis.

    There is proof. It is in the basement of the pizza parlour along with the rest of hunter biden’s millions he made off of his dad’s connections. Get with the program

    So basically no direct proof that the US has anything to do with the pipelines.

    and no direct proof Russia has anything to do with the pipeline explosion.

    I'm honestly not even sure what we're debating

    Just when you think the Biden Administration can't do anything dumber... they go out and blow up Russia's pipeline to Europe. It's almost as though they are TRYING to set off WW3.

    Keep in mind this is the same set of foreign policy stalwarts that brought us the botched evacuation from Afghanistan and the completely unnecessary provocations towards Russia (NATO expansion) from last November... which then set off Russia's invasion of Ukraine. These people are IDIOTS. What's sad is that the quality of life of literally billions of people across the world has been downgraded severely because of these bellicose actions. Every single instinct the Biden Administration has is wrong. Which is why inflation is through the roof, the stock market is tanking, the border is a wide open turnstile, and the world is ablaze with war. These people F up everything they touch!

    True there isn’t direct proof any country is invoked. It could be an accident. I was asking the poster who posted a tweet that accused Biden of being involved if there is any proof.

    I’ll ask you the question then do you have any direct proof the US was involved?

    Interesting that the MAGA crowd immediately blames the United States. We already effectively stopped Nord Stream 2, and the Russians were blackmailing Europe to switch from Nord Stream to Nord Stream 2. What more effective mechanism than destroying NS1, although from the reports NS2 was collateral and now there is no NS. Instead Russia can just pump natural gas in the sea instead of paying for storage because there are fewer and fewer buyers.

    Do you know what would end this war immediately? Russia withdrawing to 2014 Ukraine borders. Everything else is appeasement.

    Should rename MAGA movement to BLAF. Blame America First.

    Well, Biden himself predicted it. The Polish politician confirmed it today. And the USS Kearsarge was in the area of the explosion this week.

    There you go.

    Also, you have to ask yourself, why would Russia bomb THEIR OWN PIPELINE, rendering it unusable? That's just absurd on its face. They can already achieve the same gas price result by simply shutting off supply. Bombing the pipeline only makes sense if someone wants to attack Russia's interests.

    Damn now Biden has caused inflation the world over. Never ANY grey with some people. Always white or black.

    I’d like to add don’t take anyone serious that labels posts for years as “premium” and “educational”

    Because it's Putin's Russia. All he knows is terror. His reign literally began when FSB did a false flag bombing of the Moscow apartments https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-russia-president-1999-chechnya-apartment-bombings/30097551.html

    Seriously -- Put down the RT and start reading respectable conservative outlets like National Review https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-nord-stream-whodunit/

    "The best argument for the Kremlin’s ordering this operation is that destroying Russian-owned infrastructure in international waters wouldn’t be an attack on NATO countries or NATO assets — with all the fallout that might entail — but could still be seen as a capability demonstration and a threat to Western energy infrastructure, such as to the major pipeline systems originating in Norway that provide much of the U.K.’s and Western Europe’s remaining gas supplies."

    Hell: Russia denied it had invaded Ukraine up to the point of "limited" mobilization of every army ready male
