      I've been avoiding thinking about the fact that people think it was Russia cause it truly breaks my brain that anyone would think that. I'm not even saying that I know it was the US (but come on), I just know that it's not Russia cause obviously.

          The "tbf" I have in this is that the decision by Russia to invade seems like it was about as irrational as I thought it was in the beginning (which is why I didn't think it was gonna happen).

            I disagree it's irrational, I think the invasion is a pretty natural result of years of failed diplomacy with Ukraine and NATO. The security concerns are rational and the economic pressure Russia is putting on Europe might finally break themselves out of Western economic hegemony.

      Could have been the Ukrainian state, or some random faction who got their hands on a shitton of explosives? Building a big ass shaped charge and towing it in place with a boat a few weeks before detonation doesn't require the resources of a super power.

        Posted above in thread but there is video footage of this exchange in the WH press room:

        Biden: We will bring an end to the Nord Stream pipeline.

        Reporter: uhhh, how would you do that?

        Biden: Trust me, we can and we will.

    Germany -"I consent"

    Denmark -"I consent"

      It could also be the case that NATO spy agencies doesn't trust their Danish counterpart. Denmark has had quite a few embarrassing shenanigans recently with ministers and intelligence chiefs being unable to keep their mouths shut about clandestine US spying on internet traffic.

        Considering that Denmark pretty much was the leader of local American espionage efforts in Scandinavia from the cold war omwards, that's pretty insane. Why are they biting thw hand that feeds now?

    Why did they even investigate to begin with? I figured surely the people at the top hadn't swallowed their own Koolaid and didn't actually believe Russia did it.

    I can't believe China would do such a widespread cover-up operation.

    Remember there is video footage of this, JFC:

    Biden: We will bring an end to the Nord Stream pipeline.

    Reporter: uhhh, how would you do that?
