  2.  @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.

  3.  @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.

  4.  @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.

  7. CLUMSY! Coming and going. Just clumsy. So disappointed in all of the "leadership."

  8. I wish Dr. Haas would stay off of _Morning Joe_. It's a deal with the devil. No, I can't propose an alternative. I don't know what the answer is. But that table is unwatchable.

  41. Watch the whole piece, morons in the comments. Think about it. Then edit your words, or just delete them.

  42. Yes, in hindsight, the West should have responded more forcefully to Putin's provocations. Those are past mistakes. We can argue endlessly about realism versus values versus dollars. But none of that matters right now, in this moment. Putin, with his NUKES, can't be permitted to behave this way. Period.

  48.  @dirtypure2023  Define the term "cold war," and then explain to me why that isn't a meaningful term to apply to this situation. Please.
