"Ukraine" being the name of the American citizen who they ordered to carry out the bombing?
Now I'm imagining the scene in Leningrad Cowboys where the singer incompetently tries to convince the concert promoter over the phone that he's a "real American", except in reverse.
Ah man, I told him not to do it man. I was like bro that's a bad call. I mean you know we're making the best of it, been good for business, but man it's crazy he went through it after I told him not to. Gotta respect the balls on that though bro.
It's either going to be this as next weeks headline or the eventual "We told them not to because we already had far more capable people handling it, and we'd just have to supply these dipshits with munitions anyway."
We warned them not to do it ( because we knew they couldn't really do it anyway ), so then we did it and used the warning as a way to cover our exposed asses.
It doesn't have to be plausible. I've already seen NAFO-brained radlibs switch from "Putin is so unhinged he blew up his own pipeline" to "Ukraine should also blow up pipelines leading to China and India so Russia can't sell gas to them either." It's honestly frightening how baby brained these people are.
They choose to be baby brained because the alternative is admitting they're wrong and the "bad guys"

they've started to try and provoke Russia into attacking Europe to provoke a NATO response. Ukraine has very much become a liability
They're running operations out of "friendly" countries and I feel like they might not be 100% open about some of them.
there's one general which is attacking Russian friendly countries in an effort to force Russia to retaliate by attacking a NATO country in return.
Basically the guy is desperate to escalate the situation into a world war. To their credit the Americans are sick of him and are in near constant communication with Russia to ensure the situation doesn't lead to a mutual war
Being a leftist is being Cassandra.
We are always right, every time, but our prophecies are ignored and ridiculed.
Every fucking time man.
i think the technical term is forex trading
goddamn libs won't even let people bet on wars without abstracting it all away behind arcane market mechanisms
Except the whole Russia invasion thing. 99% of people here were dead certain it wouldn't happen
yeah, you got me. i actually thought we wouldn't see another "real" direct country vs country boots-on-the-ground war for another couple decades at least
Not me, I changed my mind about two weeks before the invasion when Ukrainian mobilization picked up and they started shelling Donetsk
In December and January the Russians were about as mobilized as they were during the worst fighting in 2015, so it was easy to write it off as just another bad episode, but those last three weeks in February came fast and lots of folks who wrote it off in Jan got caught with their pants down
Tbh I always thought Russia will just send troops to Donetsk and Lushank just not in february
"Hey, did you know that there are critical gas pipelines under the sea here? Don't use these explosives here to sabotage them."
I've never claimed Ukraine did it, and have in fact claimed that Ukraine lacked the capability, but I guess I am owned.
i think america is throwing ukraine under the bus for this, personally.
people were calling this within days of the explosion in the news thread. blow it up then wait to blame it on ukraine once it's time to bail on them
i always claimed there was no way it was russia and additionally it was done by people who were trained not some gung-ho nationalists who just thought one day theyd blow up a pipeline
