  1. Why is that shocking? Such faces must be extremely uncommon.

  2. What do you mean? It's as obvious as "I see your username" so "you must be from India".

  3. Yup, just look at the comment section here. If it was pointing towards Russians, 9/10 comments would be crying in pain over how evil they are.

  4.  @Blackgriffonphoenixg  "who have no concept of long-term infrastructure maintenance" This sentence is so dumb I assume it's entirely futile trying to hold a rational discussion with you

  5. ​ @panthermodern6572 You do know that Ukraine was formerly known as Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and thus had red stars on ALL of its military vehicles? Not saying the drone is Ukrainian, because I find it a bit weird that they would be flying over Romania, Hungary and Croatia. I'm just saying your point is extremely dumb.

  8. Aight, then... Time to stop crying about Russia hitting Ukraine's civilian infrastructure with that "logic".

  9. Perhaps because cooperation and economic integration makes war less likely. There has been a lot less international wars fought with the growth of globalisation. I can't even remember the last time two EU states fought a war. Or US states fighting each other. In general, Germany seems to have been the least politically Russophobe country in EU.

  11.  @panthermodern6572  Wow, really? Good for you! But did you know that all Tupolev Tu-141 UAVs were made between 1979 and 1989? In other words, they were made by the Soviet Union, for the Soviet Union. So all of them were initially painted and delivered with a red star on its tail fin, regardless of who owns them today and what they've done to them.

  12. Interesting points, but.. Why does ownership matter? Isn't the main consideration whoever benefits their existence - that being Germany and Russia (at least economically), which in turn implies that they are not the immediate first suspects? Why would the land based pipelines be a better target? Those inside Ukraine would've been obvious who sabotaged, and those outside it are a lot less accessible to saboteurs than those lying in international waters. Furthermore, all land based pipelines to the EU benefits pretty Russophobic countries economically through transit fees. NS, on the other hand, was largely built to circumvent these fees. If these Germans were making propaganda for Americans, the video would probably point towards Russians instead of relying on information from provided openly from German media and government. I assume Fern used yard cause most of their audience lives in the US.

  13.  @melange78  Imagine for a second that Iran buys the rights and property of the Eiffel Tower, though with the stipulation that 50% of its income must be shared with the French government. If the Americans then blew it up, the French people would be extremely unlikely to settle with this being just an attack on Iran. The tower is a symbol of Paris and France, it's still a source of income for them, it's on French soil, the likelihood of such an attack hurting French citizens was high, what gives the US the right to meddle such heavily in a deal between France and Iran, etc. This is just an illustrative example to reiterate the point that ownership isn't everything here. That said, I'd question your sources and/or knowledge on/understanding of this situation. NS1 is owned and operated by Nord Stream AG - which is owned by Gazprom (51%, Russian), E.ON (15.5%, German), Wintershell Dea (15.5%, German), Engie (9%, French) and Gasunie (9% Dutch). NS2 is owned and operated by Nord Stream 2 AG - which is 100% owned by Gazprom. However, any disruption in the operation of NS2 would heavily affect Uniper, Wintershall Dea, OMV, Engie, Shell, the European oil and gas market and the German public too. “Russia had stopped paying for NS1, meaning it was no longer Russia who owned it.” This is just wrong - Russia owns 51% of it. Additionally, it’s unclear what you mean by claiming that “Russia stopped paying” for it, and how that affects ownership in any way. “NS2 was only partially damanged and happened to be 100% owned by Russia.” I understand how that makes your brain scream conspiracy, but it seems that you haven’t considered that the reason NS2’s output was only partially damaged was because whoever did it hit one of the two NS2 pipelines twice, instead of hitting both once. Occam’s razor: this was purely a mistake. “if it was Russian [owned] then it makes more sense for Ukraine to target it at a time when they really didn't want to upset the German public” This goes against your own logic. Whoever did this destroyed 100% of NS1 (which wasn’t owned by Russia according to you, and 51% owned by Gazprom according to everyone else), yet destroyed only 50% of NS2 (which was fully owned by Gazprom). According to your logic, if it was Ukrainian sabotage mission, only NS2 would be hit. And if it was Russian false-flag, they should’ve hit only NS1 because “that doesn’t affect Russia at all” (according to you). All in all, if this was a false flag operation by Russia, it’d make more sense to sabotage something on land in Ust-Luga. 1) It’d be near impossible for western media to verify or debunk any claims by the Russian government, 2) It’d be a lot quicker and cheaper to restart operation post-war, and 3) the sabotage (both a real and a fake one) would’ve been a lot less complex to perform, e.g. by only targeting one spot instead of four, and to be operating unseen on Russian territory instead of in a highly surveilled area within the EEZ’ of Denmark and Sweden. “I am not implying that Fern is knowingly doing a propaganda piece but that Fern is being played by Russian propaganda.” When did they start using yards in Russia? Jesus… Their sources for this piece are German. All the info they got was written in the metric system. They chose to change it to yards for some reason.

  14. ​ @melange78  You're not making sense. You're poorly regurgitating things you have read. Russia/Gazprom is the largest long-term loser on the sabotage. I'd actually prefer if you'd just call me Ivan or Russian bot, because this "discussion" is futile.

  15.  @melange78  "No, Russia had stopped paying for the loans, meaning the financing banks had taken over ownership of the NS1 pipeline." Source? "Russia only owned NS2 which was only partially damaged." Again, cause they blew up the same pipe twice, instead of both pipes once. Again, an obvious mistake. "You also don't take into consideration the indemnifications on the order of billions of Euros per week for having shut down the pipeline several weeks earlier." This is the only point you've made that makes sense, but no.. I have taken it into consideration.

  16.  @Nate_o_eight  If there was concrete evidence against Russia, it would've been a lot different

  17. Somewhat unrelated, but the existence of pipeline provided one of many clear (economic) reasons for ending the war. Thus, with it gone, it's easier to keep it going. The exact opposite of Tsu's "golden bridge".

  18. It's clear that Urk was more beloved than Buruk. Show me the latter on a map.

  21. Well, it was pretty expensive to just close the pipes off, as they were contractually obligated to deliver gas. In fact, when it was blown up, Russians were holding back oil and Germans was demanding fees, which is a common argument used by those wanting to blame the Russians. However, if this was the motivation for Russian sabotage, they'd surely sabotage in a way that would've been relatively quick and cheap to reverse instead of catastrophically fuck them up in this matter. So, yeah.. In my opinion, there's no logically sound arguments pointing towards Russians (unless they're Anti-Putin Russians ofc).

  22. It's not impossible the US would've been behind something like this - at least it's more likely than it being Russians. That said, the current evidence point towards the Andromeda plot, and I suspect it would've been a lot better hidden if the American government was involved.

  23.  @charlesburgoyne-probyn6044  Bro, keep up. The new narrative is that Russia was behind 9/11. They were so good at it that they managed to frame both Taliban and the Jews at the same time. This happened only 21 months after Putin became president. And what's 9+11? Well, 20, but there were some confusion regarding different time zones etc., so they became one month delayed.

  24. What does the percentages in the graphic at 4:34 mean? I thought it was estimated percentage of the world total occurrence of said mineral, but that was easy to disprove. E.g. Spain does not have all of the world's Strontium. So what does it mean? It's also not share of global production, as Iran produces just as much as Spain.

  25. This is the truth which can often be hidden behind a veil of perceived freedom. We are so quick to judge authoritarian regimes, like North-Korea, for the lack of freedom provided to its citizens. And while that is not entirely unfounded, many of us fail to realise that just as much (if not more) pain, suffering and injustice fester in their polar opposite: the virtually unrestricted capitalism you'll find in some countries. As with [mostly?] everything else, the solution naturally lies somewhere in the middle.

  29.  @domerame5913  You don't have to be Russian to be anti-US... Most of us Europeans were outraged over this when the media was portraying Russians as the most likely culprit. You calling it "based" now that it turns out it's most likely Ukrainians is just cope.

  32.  @pullingonthestrings  Because blowing up a pipeline on their own soil 1) hurts them, because they earn a lot of money in transit fees, and 2) it would've been obvious who'd done it. Please let others do the thinking for you in the future.

  34. 16:00 Anyone know what's the deal with the "RET 500 ml"- and "RET 2.5 l"-bottles? I'm guessing they are glass bottles, but why would they be so much cheaper?
