@spoonful I didn't even know there was a blog post about it.
I do know that #JoeBiden promised to get rid of the pipeline if #Russia invaded #Ukraine though.

#Nordstream2 is an oil pipeline between #Germany and #Russia; Occam's Razor would point to either the #USA or #Ukraine being the culprits here, but more money on the #USA of course since it is something that we promised to do.
@realcaseyrollins @spoonful
Blowing the pipeline was unnecessary. The US and Germany could turn it off where it came out of the water. This was Russia's doing because only they have demonstrated zero regard for environmental damage from their actions.

> This was Russia's doing because only they have demonstrated zero regard for environmental damage from their actions.
LOL! There's not even a connection between the two. That's like blaming #China for wildfires in #Canada because they've demonstrated that they don't care about pollution.
Is there any actual evidence linking #Russia to destroying what is, may I remind you, their own oil pipeline?
I feel like we're getting a bit too involved here. With so little evidence either way it's hard to make any reasonable conclusion.
Also note that you should not apply reason to anything Russia does. Much of their strategy is basically the "chaos is a ladder" meme from game of thrones.
@spoonful Why are you afraid to say that the person who blew up #Russia's pipeline just might happen to be the country that, let's all remember, *is at war with them at the moment*
"Japan got hit with a nuke? Well, let's not make hasty judgements. Maybe the Japanese did it!"
I'm not afraid there's just literally zero convincing data either way.
@spoonful Still, you can use logic to make a reasonable guess if you want to.
Like, I could say, "well, I think the dog poop in the backyard belongs to my dog, even though I didn't see him drop the dookie"
@realcaseyrollins
Just a small correction: It's a gas pipeline, no oil there.
