This story seems likely to be true. NO QUESTION, the US was at the center of it; but very likely, it wasn't a US citizen who actually "pulled the trigger"; US officials wanted someone else to do it, and no doubt the British were happy to oblige.

@giselapfeifer4666 Zelensky doesn't do anything.... ANYTHING... of consequence without getting approval from the US government first (and he's VERY well paid, so he's not complaining).

@truthteller2237 I'm not saying that it's "new". I'm just pointing out the duplicity of the US government. The US government is trying to present itself as a paragon of virtue, wanting only to preserve the "rules-based order", while (arguing that) that evil monster.... Vladimir Putin.... only wants to kill people. Meanwhile, the VERY LAST thing the US politicians care about is morality, or honesty or international law. And no, it's "nothing new", but there are still a lot of people out there who are believing the official narratives coming out of the US government, and out of the mainstream media.

@GenZsucks Who's crying? I think the main issue here is that of the deception and hypocrisy of the US and the UK. The US is going around acting like they're a bunch of choir boys who want nothing more than to spread peace and love around the world.... or at least, that they think that governments should follow a "rules-based order". At the same time that they're spewing this horsecr@p, they're going around sabotaging Russia's infrastructure. So if the US government would come out and admit that they're just as greedy and power-hungry as the Russians are..... and that moral standards impose no impediment .... I would say TERRIFIC!! FANTASTIC!!!!! At least then, we'd have some honesty. For me the issue is much more that of deception and hypocrisy (on the part of the US and the UK) than about any sabotage of infrastructure.

@alastairreed7314 you're saying that the pipeline that the UK (allegedly) blew up supplied natural gas to the UK...? Got a link for that?

@alastairreed7314 Any economic harm to the UK.... from the pipeline sabotage..... should be minimal (it's the people of Germany who will really be hurt). The UK government did not (allegedly) blow up the pipeline in order to IMPROVE their economy; this is primarily about harming Russia. The US and the UK are intent on causing as much economic harm to Russia as is possible (and then there's also the fact that the "greenies" hate fossil fuels, regardless of their source).

@licheam2007 Yeah, I think that's it in a nutshell.

@cnccarving "responsibility". What about the responsibility of the ballot-counters to count the votes accurately.... and to refrain from fabricating votes by the millions?

I wouldn't say that the war in Ukraine has "nothing to do" with the British. The situation is that the US is the primary hegemon in the world, and the UK is a very close ally of the US. Russia and China are now threatening the hegemonic status of the US. Politicians in the US and UK believe that a weaker Russia is in their interests. In any case, WHATEVER the war in Ukraine is about, it is NOTHING to do with the official narrative being put out by the US and the UK.
