      1. I doubt that’s true, however, Oswald was a trained marksman as are all marines. The shooting was easily within his capabilities. Ever fired a rifle, yourself? I’m not a marine nor have I played one on TV but I’m fairly certain I could have made 2 out of three of those shots. 285 feet at a very slow moving, sitting duck. Very possible.

          My friend, an x navy seal says other wise, so do military weapons trainer, and the x spook I spoke to about this. See I’v read at least 40 books on this topic, did on line searches, and discussed ,on line , with other researchers. And NO LHO was not capable on doing such shootings accurately.

        2. ” I’m fairly certain I could have made 2 out of three of those shots. 285 feet at a very slow moving, sitting duck. Very possible.”

          With an incredible cheap and inaccurate rifle, bolt action with open sights? Doubtful.

        3. Go to dealy plaza and stand on the mark on the pavement, the building at the top of the hill follows the road down at a perfect angle. there’d be no side or vertical movement and aiming at a car driving towards the tunnel would be like shooting a fish in a barrel, no matter who did it

    3. Logic dictates that the only country with a weird reason to do such a think is the USA. Threats were made along those lines by Joe Biden himself. The Americans are among the very few that have the means to do such a thing,

      The desire of the American left to destroy Putin and Russia is destroying themselves in the effort. ‘

      Stupid, barely covers it … it’s insane.

      1. (Pres. Biden: “If Russia invades…then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
        Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since…the project is in Germany’s control?”
        Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”)
        ? If-IF he did this, More Methane gas has been released than all the cow farts in Canada and the world for the last two thousand years and I don’t want to hear anything else about global climate warning BullShit

    1. Funny how the Dems demand “regime change” in Russia and call it moral but howl bloody murder because of an unarmed “riot” on Jan 6.

      2. Same reason TurdHole sends the Toronto mounted patrol to trample grandmothers while cheering Iranians rioting. It’s all fine when it is someone else they are going after.

    1. PDJT used his WORDS to reason and argue with the Germans that they had become too beholden to Russian Energy blackmail. PDJT used … diplomatic … means to convince them.

      Bidinh has simply BOMBED his way to German compliance … imperiling their industrial base … and guaranteeing a punishing winter cold

  5. Interesting to see what ramifications this has in Germany. With the pipelines intact German opposition and the German population could have demanded the end of the sanctions, and end of the war. Now the German government can turn to their own people and say “What gas?”.

    This damages the German people the most and benefits the hawks in Europe the most. If the German people suspect this was a “Herman Cortes” moment(he burned his ships upon landing in the new world so his soldiers had no choice but to push forward), the German people could very much revolt.

    1. Aaron

      I like the Cortes no retreat example and have even used it in commenting about this event committing the Germans to keeping the taps off.

      That said, according to Fast Company’s consultant debunking unit, Cortes was not supposed to be on that beach and burning the ships prevented anybody sailing back to Havana and ratting him out for his unauthorized expedition.

    2. Aaron

      Interesting point. I don’t know who did it, but I’m not excluding the Germans.

      It could be a burn the boats moment, and indeed this may backfire.

      It could also have been done to force the Germans out of their complacency of relying on Russian gas. I was always wondering who Angela Merkel was really working for.

      1. Make sure you fit your e-car with photovoltaic cells in case the grid goes down.

        A Buddy was real proud of his new solar powered digital calibres. Until he went down in the potash mine to take some measurements on a hydraulic skid. Not enough photons I. His headlamp it seems.

  7. If the Americans did it on their own or with NATO approval – its either or – then its almost a declaration of war.
    I don’t think goading Putin is wise.
    Or maybe NATO and the Americans think this will precipitate a coup of Putin?
    High stakes poker with a billion lives. Nice.
    Dontcha just love the elites and their power?

  8. I still say it’s China. Back in 2010 a declassified report showed up out of the blue outlining China’s ambitious UUV programs. That’s underwater submarine drones. The conventional wisdom was that they were part of an effort to dominate the South China Sea. I don’t think that was the primary focus (or, at least, not the only focus).

    Oh, and looky here….China stockpiled natural gas, and is selling it to Europe:
    https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2022-09-03/China-sells-surplus-Liquified-Natural-Gas-to-Europe-1d0zlxJVHAQ/index.html

    1. Pure obfuscation.
      US assets capable of this were seen in the immediate area in the hourse leading up to the attack.
      Chinese assets were not.

      1. I have to think it’s US/NATO/EU/other acronyms approved at minimum, and probably done by those same folk.

        But let’s say it wasn’t. Let’s say it was the Chinese or the Russians. That surely would not speak to well to the security provided by those same letter agencies, afterall this occured in waters they should be safeguarding, especially at this time. This also must be disconcerting for a country whose southern border is wide open; agent provocatuers can waltz right in. Anyways, this will be my reply if I encounter someone insisting that the Russians/Chinese did it.

        1. This alphabet agencies are overrun with leftist academics and political ideologues. The number of missed signs and politically motivated analysis over the last decade is plentiful. 9/11 is a good example.

          That’s not even mentioning the cartwheels and flips done to avoid accusing China of the COVID issue.

      2. “US assets capable of this were seen in the immediate area in the hourse leading up to the attack.”

        Then it wasn’t them, was it? If the US were actually behind the attack, they would have taken care *not* to be seen.

        “Chinese assets were not.”

        Same problem: if it was China, they would not have been seen (like the US, they have that capability).

  9. While Norway supplies natural gas to “parts” of Europe this winter, would be the time for “someone” to retaliate and take the new pipeline out.

    Biden is an imbecile.

    1. Putin isn’t as evil as the west.
      You can tell which side is more evil by how many children they groom and/or mutilate.

  11. Yah, godda take those arrogant Krauts down and teach them a lesson BEFORE they go full Italy or Sweden.

  12. While everyone is expressing their thoughts on this, I’ll add mine. The type of explosion and the underwater place it occurred means it was a big money/state/ or country operation. I would not be surprised if it was the US, as I would also think that Biden is beholden to the WEF and their cronies. My bet is this was “requested” of Biden, or some other WEF entity/crony by the bosses at the WEF. Biden of course doesn’t even know what day of the week it is, so his back up team maybe.
    This is ALL DELIBERATE!

    But then, since my tin foil hat melted off, I see the WEF behind most conspiracies. Prove me wrong,…. please!

  13. “Facts ”

    Nope, mostly speculations, bullshit and often hilarious purposeful misinterpretation of facts. All written from the position that russia gets to crown Germany the vassal king of Europe. Not happening. But the hysterics and hypocrisy from Ho et al in the comments are amusing. RT has nothing on SDA lately.

    1. So… whodunnit and why?

      Most of us here are open to hearing contrary ideas then using our critical thinking skills to come to our own conclusions. In the end, our opinions are of little importance in these matters.

      1. I have no idea who whodunnit. Neither are all the people on SDA who claim with certainty that they do. US and russia know who is responsible. They’re not telling, they prefer to direct blame where it suits them regardless of truth. Ho and other resident mental midgets swallow the narrative that suits them without a single thought. Nothing changed since yesterday: https://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2022/09/27/down-the-primrose-path-22/#comment-1689266

        “Most of us here are open to hearing contrary ideas”

        Thanks, I needed a laugh.

        1. Bulverism (“The Becausery”) – A fallacy of distraction that assumes an opponent’s position is wrong by focusing the argument on how the opponent personally came to believe that position.

          Tu Quoque (“Appeal to Hypocrisy”) – A fallacy of distraction that attempts to discredit an opponent’s conclusion by irrelevantly appealing to supposed hypocrisy between argument and actions.

          2. On the contrary, I have pasted the floor with what passes for your brain, and yet you still come back for more.

            Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

            Your only hope is that the readers eat up your shite, just like many eat up Bidet’s and the Turd’s. One would hope that the readers here are a little brighter than that.

          3. “…I have pasted the floor with what passes for your brain, and yet you still come back for more….”

            and

            “Ad Hominem …”

            You’re really not that good at this.

          4. There’s a song about that. “Tu Quoques in the fountain, which one will the fountain bless?”

        2. Too bad I wasted my time returning here to read your response. You have no idea, so the it could have been the USA, which so far seems the most likely. Although, I have seen other info pointing to Poland, but this seems unlikely. Unfortunately, you have also done nothing to show any of the “facts” to be false or unreliable.

          Possible actors:
          Russia – Nothing to gain and much to loose.
          USA – Struggling to find ways to hurt Russia without getting directly involved in the war.
          China – Always mucking around in global affairs in extremely atrocious ways while never assuming responsibility for anything. If there was no information available China would be highest on my suspicion list.

    2. Fact: American warships and helicopters were seen in the immediate area in the hours leading up to the attack.
      Fact: Both Biden and Nuland said they would shut down NordStream.
      Fact: Former Minister of Defense of Poland, Radek Sikorski tweeted his thanks to the USA for the attack.

      Another fact, in case you forgot: Soros’s Open Society Foundation fomented the coup in the Ukraine in 2014. The admit as much on their website.

      1. “Fact: American warships and helicopters were seen in the immediate area in the hours leading up to the attack.”

        Yes they were seen from … russian ships. None of it indicates anything other than they were there and so were russians.

        “Fact: Both Biden and Nuland said they would shut down NordStream.”

        And it was shut down before the attack.

        “Fact: Former Minister of Defense of Poland, Radek Sikorski tweeted his thanks to the USA for the attack.”

        LOL yes he did, he is a troll and a political whore. Platforma Obywatelska (PO) aka Civic Platform was pro russia and pro Germany and pro EU before they realized that public sentiments in Poland were opposite, so they have done an instant 180 accused current Polish government of being russian agents and overnight painted themselves the hawkiest of hawks. Only low information cretins take his twitter trolling as evidence of anything.

        “Another fact, in case you forgot: Soros’s Open Society Foundation fomented the coup in the Ukraine in 2014. The admit as much on their website.”

        Yaw, Soros can take credit for whatever he wants, 2014 was not his doing.

        As I said many times before, you know nothing and are a worthless demagogue.

        1. You just cannot stop lying, can you?
          American assets were seen by Swedes and Danes.
          “you know nothing and are a worthless demagogue.”
          Your self-awareness level is staggeringly low.

          But still, the Americans said they’d do it, had the assets in place to do it, and did it.
          Means, motive and opportunity.
          Russia has no motive to do this, throw away a billion buck worth of fuel, severely damage stuff they own and destroy a big, big bargaining chip.
          Anyone who even tries to make a case for Russia is either numerically illiterate, blind, retarded or all three, like yourself.

          1. “You just cannot stop lying, can you?”

            I haven’t lied once. You on the other hand are pathologically unable to to address opposite point without consciously twisting it out of context. For example:

            “American assets were seen by Swedes and Danes.”

            And? Yes, them too. A Seahawk was for example spotted flying between two russian ships. Point isn’t that russians done it, point is that there were multiple actors on the scene and presence of US and russian ships shadowing each other, as they routinely do, proves not a goddamn thing, you pathetic demagogue. Moreover, presence of anyone in busy international waters at any time proves nothing. Two russian training tall ships were very slowly sailing through those waters, a perfect cover for a sub, OMG it is proof they must have done it. No it isn’t, not anymore than your bullshit.

            “Americans said they’d do it, had the assets in place to do it, and did it.”

            Yes they have done it, by “it” meaning strong-armed Germany without blowing anything up. You again are twisting out of context what they said, and then conclude they did the act as if you had facts. You can’t help it.

            And, once again for the cheap seats: I am not claiming that russians did that. I am not claiming that Americans haven’t. I am stating that you got nothing to prove your claims. That is a fact. Also, I am stating that you’re a disingenuous demagogue at an organic, even cellular level.

          2. Means, motive and opportunity.
            USA/NATO has all 3. No other group does.
            You are now just grasping at straws, trying to obfuscate things, in order to save your precious narrative, and its both amusing and pathetic.

          4. Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

        2. “Fact: Former Minister of Defense of Poland, Radek Sikorski tweeted his thanks to the USA for the attack.”

          I just want to comeback to this, because this is a jewel of a poof, for the uniformed and mentally challenged.

          Radek Sikorski is often nicknamed Zdradek, it is play on words “zdrada” translates to “treason” or “betrayal” in Polish, is indeed a former foreign minister.

          For whom you might ask?

          Well now this gets interesting, he was foreign minister in the Civic Platform government of Donald Tusk who later become a … wait for it … President of the European Council. Yes, Sikorski was historically a member of the most pro EU, pro Brussels, pro integration, pro russia, Polish government. A government that tried everything to make Poland dependent on russian gas resold to Poland at a premium by Germany. His party tried repeatedly to sabotage and stall Baltic Pipe. Him now thanking US for Nordstream attack is a proof only that he is a troll. He has no way of knowing what happened.

          Also, only in recent weeks Civic Platform made a desperate gambit and reinvented themselves again, this time as the great hawkish champions of Ukraine, while simultaneously accusing the current Polish government of being on Pootin’s payroll.

          I said “reinvented again” as, in other times in history, they run as economic libertarians, progressive socialists, EU autocrats and now defense hawks. A party of political chameleons. A twit by a former foreign minster for party that lost power in 2015 is a proof to Ho. Because really, he of all people, would be consulted on this. Let that sink in.

          1. He’s now an EU MP.
            Predictable of you to neglect that FACT.
            Poland is not without guilt in this terror attack, in fact, they stood to gain an awfull lot. Time will tell if the German gov’t is beholden to Germans, or the WEF globalists, because if its the former, Poland is in deep doodoo, and rightfully so.
            It’ll be funny and tragic to see an ex-pat Pollack war-hawk like yourself see the policies you espouse destroy your home country. I hope the Poles have more sense than you.
            The Earth is round, and soon you’re gonna have to deal with that fact.

          2. “He’s now an EU MP.
            Predictable of you to neglect that FACT.”

            Because it is irrelevant. Because you focused on him being a former minister, you dolt. How is him being an EU MP important here? Do you know how many EU MPs are there? What is his unique function, that he supposedly has intel on Biden’s plans that he then announces on Twitter? Again I have explained who Sikorski is, case closed, you’re a moron.

            “Poland is not without guilt in this terror attack,…”

            Do tell. This will be good.

            “Time will tell if the German gov’t is beholden to Germans, or the WEF globalists,..”

            Called it: https://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2022/09/28/things-that-go-boom-2/#comment-1689792 Damn it is easy, took mere minutes, it is like kicking cripples.

          4. So now it is a Polish/Danish/Swedish conspiracy only coordinated by US. Not US warships. Can’t wait for reptilians.

          5. Argument from Personal Incredulity (“Common Sense Fallacy”, “Divine Fallacy”) – a fallacy of distraction that denies a conclusion solely based on personal belief.

            You just can’t stop yourself, can you?

    3. COLON R~4
      You are one of the most emotional posters on SDA, and therefore most likely a liberal, who’s lost it’s way. Years ago I read an interesting article about liberals who think they are conservatives and vote conservative , and cons who think they are liberals , and vote that way. In mid 1990T’s when I was on a social blog there was an airhead (female) who lived in Severn Falls, she was a big fan of Harper, but every position she took politically or socially was liberal. I noticed that, as did others.

      1. Emotional? I am having an absolute blast, watching Ho getting more and more deranged with every post.

        1. Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

          2. Tu Quoque (“Appeal to Hypocrisy”) – A fallacy of distraction that attempts to discredit an opponent’s conclusion by irrelevantly appealing to supposed hypocrisy between argument and actions.

    1. Facepalm. Yes, exercises that are held every year, by navies of sixteen nations, that included close to fifty warships (including Germans) and almost a hundred aircraft (again including Germans) that were constantly shadowed by russians and ended in June is a proof. That’s it, it was clearly Biden.

      1. Colon-o-scopy won’t think that any proof is valid.
        He’s waiting for signed affidavits in triplicate from the guilty parties before he commits, and even then, if it said NATO/USA were the terrorists, he’d say its fabricated evidence, part of Pooootin’s evil plans.
        Means, motive and opportunity.
        Who has all three, and who doesn’t?

      2. Nice try at more obfuscation in the face of yet more evidence.
        Nooooo proooof! Noooo proooof!
        You wouldn’t accept signed confessions on video as proof, you disgusting piece of war-hawk excrement.
        UnMe/Allan S/Colon/Killer Marmot.

      3. Irrelevant Thesis (“Ignoring the Issue”, “Ignoratio Elenchi”) – a fallacy of distraction that addresses a tangentially related (and perhaps valid) point that is not the point under discussion.

        Red Herring (“Distraction by Reek”) – any fallacy of distraction that ultimately leads away from the truth of the matter.

          1. Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

  16. At this point, my own cynical/paranoid theory is that the Biden administration orchestrated this. Two reasons: 1) To punish Russia, and to help ensure that Germany and others don’t go wobbly on sanctions against Russia; and 2) [this may be the most important reason] To ensure that the Russia/Ukraine war gets somewhat more hot… what better way to declare a national emergency and further loosen protocols that would otherwise ensure the defeat of Democrat candidates?

    But maybe I’m just paranoid?

    1. DaveK
      There are those who think the white house, bidet’s handlers want to take Germany down a notch or two, just so they are easier to control!

      1. Can’t wait for you to twist your pretzel of an argument to declare that Merkel and Scholz are fighting globalists. It is coming, I know it, if not from you then from Ho.

        1. Straw Man (“Misrepresentation”, “Puppet beating”) – a fallacy of distraction that misrepresents or hyperbolizes an opponent’s position to make it much easier to defeat

          2. Bulverism (“The Becausery”) – A fallacy of distraction that assumes an opponent’s position is wrong by focusing the argument on how the opponent personally came to believe that position.

            And you did it to yourself! Amazing! You are a real pro at this logical fallacy stuff!

  17. Can’t help but notice how pretty much the entire western MSM had blamed it on the Russians, within just hours of the attack, which is, IMHO, more evidence in favor of NATO/USA culpability.
    Russia has no motive to do this: throw away a billion buck worth of fuel, severely damage stuff they own and destroy a big, big bargaining chip.

  19. Let’s lake a step back.

    Whodunnit? Have we checked Congresses (and spouces and kids and foundations) stock buys?

    Follow the LNG money honey.

    1. Be nice to see who invested in the Norwegian pipeline, which cannot supply Germany’s, much less Europe’s needs, by a factor of around 5.

      1. LOL, yes run Forest run, investigate. Comeback and tell us what you have found. ROFLMAO. Comedy gold.

        1. Yes, we all know that you think Europeans dying is funny.
          Just like you deny that anyone has died from inflation there, even though people died from the last heat-wave, and will die in the next cold-snap, people who couldn’t afford air conditioning, and people who won’t be able to afford to heat their homes.
          But, according to you, it isn’t happening, and people can just absorb a 5-10x increase in energy bills.
          You are one sick freak, all you care about is dead Russians, no matter how many dead Europeans your buddies at the WEF stack up.

          1. Yes yes I am an evil monster who eats russian babies baked in European virgin essence. But did you find out who paid for Baltic Pipe?

            Sherlock Ho is on the case.

          2. All you ever have is straw-men, ad-hominems, tu-quoce and appeal to emotion arguments. You are the perfect liberal, devoid of logic, using only logical fallacies as arguments.
            Means, motive, opportunity.
            I ask the question of you:
            Who has them, who doesn’t?

            I know all I can look forward to is more logical fallacies.

          4. Irrelevant Thesis (“Ignoring the Issue”, “Ignoratio Elenchi”) – a fallacy of distraction that addresses a tangentially related (and perhaps valid) point that is not the point under discussion.

      Ad Ignorantiam (“Proof by Lack of Evidence”, “The Gullible Dogmatic”) – a fallacy of distraction that argues for a proposition by pointing to absence of evidence to the contrary.

      Keep it up, you have a real talent in your colon!

      1. Perfectly relevant to the opening post. Just not something that is convenient for you so you’re trying to shout it down.

        1. Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

  21. The bottom line is:
    Means, motive and opportunity = some pretty damning evidence.
    No other actor in that theater has all three except for NATO/USA.
    Even the eco-terror line falls short, unless all the US/NATO ship and helicopter activity in the area somehow failed to see them both before and after the attack. Same goes for China.
    Proof will probably never exist, just like TWA flight 800, the JFK murder, Watergate, the Pee Tapes, COVID, etc.
    Most of us have brains, and should judge evidence as honestly we can.

    Beware those who demand undeniable proofs of things where the overwhelming evidence is not in their interests, and use logic to do so.

  22. The bottom line is:
    There is a difference between speculation and proof. Those unable to distinguish between the two, should stop embarrassing themselves.

    1. Ad Ignorantiam (“Proof by Lack of Evidence”, “The Gullible Dogmatic”) – a fallacy of distraction that argues for a proposition by pointing to absence of evidence to the contrary.

      Again, who, in that theater, had means, motive and opportunity?

      Next logical fallacy coming up in 3..2..1..

  23. Here is a fun hypothesis (just a hypothesis though not any less or more half baked than what passes for a proof around here): Germans did that. Why? In order to force their own hand. Now they can declare “energy emergency” and restart domestic energy generation old fashion way, while sidetracking the green (i.e. Kremlin financed) opposition. They know they have to, they know Trump was right, they don’t have political capital to burn fighting for it (pun intended), but if their hand is forced… Its ze German way.

    1. Red Herring (“Distraction by Reek”) – any fallacy of distraction that ultimately leads away from the truth of the matter.

  24. When you can beat a guy by just copying and pasting logical fallacies, you know you’ve won the argument.

    1. But when you lose every argument and then try the same strategy, you’re just spamming in a vain attempt to shout down your betters.

      1. Ad Hominem (“Poisoning the Well”, “Pit Spitting”) – A fallacy of distraction that attacks an opponent’s character when character is irrelevant to the argument.

        Gotta admit, you gots a real talent there, toots.

    1. Wow. You must be really lazy, or you’ve got a bad thumb.
      Allow me to help you by summing my position up:
      The bottom line is:
      Means, motive and opportunity = some pretty damning evidence.
      No other actor in that theater has all three except for NATO/USA.
      Even the eco-terror line falls short, unless all the US/NATO ship and helicopter activity in the area somehow failed to see them both before and after the attack. Same goes for China.

      Beware those who demand undeniable proofs of things where the overwhelming evidence is not in their interests, and use logic to do so.

    2. Guilty as charged, I had little too much fun. But it is hard to resist so comprehensively owning the resident demagogue, to the point that it was reduced to brainless copying and pasting.

        Even if Colon and HiHo have enjoyed their “cut n’ thrust” of debate, it’s getting really stale!

  26. Again:
    The bottom line is:
    Means, motive and opportunity = some pretty damning evidence.
    No other actor in that theater has all three except for NATO/USA.
    Even the eco-terror line falls short, unless all the US/NATO ship and helicopter activity in the area somehow failed to see them both before and after the attack. Same goes for China.
    Proof will probably never exist, just like TWA flight 800, the JFK murder, Watergate, the Pee Tapes, COVID, etc.
    Most of us have brains, and should judge evidence as honestly we can.

    Beware those who demand undeniable proofs of things where the overwhelming evidence is not in their interests, and use logic to do so.

    1. “Again:
      The bottom line is:…”

      …. that you so so so desperately want to have the last word?

  28. Another theory: Russians did it to have the “must have ben the same terrorists that hit Nord Stream” when attack western infrastructure targets like Baltic Pipe in a few day. About as provable as all other theories I have heard so far.

    Also, who says that blowing up Nord Stream is necessarily a bad thing?

    1. Except for the billion dollars worth of fuel in the line, and the worth of the lines.

      At least Colon is consistent:
      “Also, who says that blowing up Nord Stream is necessarily a bad thing?”
      What is next on these insane people’s minds?
      They are willing to declare open season on pipelines because “Putin bad.”

      1. “…open season on pipelines …”

        Not all pipelines, just the russian ones, just when it cannot be blamed on you. Ceteris paribus it is not a bad thing. It may not be wise for other reasons but in and of itself, can’t say why not.

        As for the billion dollars, LOL that’s nothing, just wait till Ukraine receives access to the frozen russian accounts in western banks…

        1. Look at this man revel in theft!
          These people are not your friends! They are the true enemies of civilization!

          1. Wait, so now I am a man again?

            Also, compensation for war crimes is not theft. All those reserves that were frozen, russia will not see single cent of them.

  29. One cannot help but notice that the vitriol aimed against Russia is about the same as that aimed against DeSantis, Poilievre and Trump. It’s like they only have so much smear time.
    Just goes to show that Chomski was right when it comes to broadcast media: Concision and sound bytes. Yeah, he’s a libtard, but so was Einstein. Truth is truth.

  30. You can see an argument for either side doing this act of sabotage, and I feel certain that both sides will be blaming the other within days. The public will believe what they want to believe.

    1. Colon may like that, but what you basically said is nothing, just like most of the media, except Tucker. Hek, even Stein backed down. I look forward to Ezra’s take.
      Your take, based on what we already know, OTOH, is just a wee bit less than useless.

  31. In Russia vs NATOstan, people on both sides will hold opposing opinions. Those on the sidelines see the shocking demise of old rules that held together the world order during the cold war years. Was this an act by rogue players or is this the new normal between nation-states?

    There will be an investigation to get to the truth with Russia sidelined. The contortions will be our best indicator which side is in on the act.

    If anyone, It’s the Germans who will be affected. It will be interesting to see how much more BS the German people will go along with as they freeze in the dark.
