> Opinion certainly varies, but it’s ridiculous to suggest I’m a Russian propagandist for disagreeing with you. I don’t have to like Russia to be more fearful of the US. Especially if you go to Eastern Europe you will encounter this view.
I never said you where a Russian propagandist I said you where using the same talking points a Russian propagandist, which is a fact.
> This “Russia did it” story is also getting more and more convoluted. The EU already sanctioned Russia and is avoiding buying their gas. Russia can simply not send gas if that’s what they want, what is the EU going to do, sanction them more?
It's been simple from day one, Russia is trying to send a message to Europe and avoid contract issues. The message is "your critical infrastructure is not safe", I wonder why we keep finding Russians with drones in Western European countries.
It's never gotten 'more complicated'.
> The US didn’t already have a way to stop the flow of gas besides sanctions. Since that may not be enough over winter, further discipline has now been administered.
This protects LNG profits and strengthens the US’s proxy in the area, Poland.
Sanctions are more than enough, it's clear that European countries see Russia for the terroristic regime they are.
I don't think LNG would change in Europe there aren't enough terminals for there to be any distinct difference.
> It shouldn’t be surprising that this happened after a pipeline from Norway to Poland was completed or that a Polish diplomat thanked the US after the blasts.
I don't think this is the evidence you think it is, if anything this is evidence that the US wasn't involved. You think a US - Polish joint super secret operation was leaked by a politician?.
Why do you think that one of the Nordstream 2 pipes was left undamaged if you think it was America?. Does it not benefit America to take out every pipe?.
