Then why wouldn't Western intel point the finger?

@purcitron : Obviously. But why would you push back against the most likely scenario? What's motivating your contrarianism?

@purcitron : No, I'm definitely not.

@purcitron : Not sure what to tell you. 🤷 Far more plausible that UKR with the help of POL and maybe ELL blew the pipeline to limit GER/EUR calculus. That scenario is much more explanatory than any alternative I've heard. If West has evidence of RUS sabotage, why haven't they revealed it? Most likely they would. If West has evidence of UKR/POL sabotage, why wouldn't they reveal it? We can imagine several reasons the wouldn't; reasons that don't require any rhetorical gymnastics.

@purcitron : I don't believe the public "has a right to know everything." Quite the contrary. So we're left to speculate. The most likely NS saboteurs are some combination of UKR/POL/ELL. No need to invoke Cortes analogy or otherwise attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole.

@purcitron : Tsk. You're still taking the contrarian position. COULD it have been extraterrestrials? Sure. Was it most likely UKR/POL? That's what the evidence suggests.
