the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. I doubt this is true. I think Russia did it.

But... why?...

Even the US stopped pretending that Russia did it because everyone understood that it made no sense.

Why would Russia sabotage one of their main sources of revenue in the middle of a war?

They blew up most of their sources of revenue by going into a war.

I'm willing to entertain this notion if you extend it to America doing Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and the Unabomber. Oh, and also Ukraine did the Ukraine war by shelling and raiding the Donbas for 8 years.

That's a lotta bullshit in 2 sentences.

You know that Russia until today still pumps gas through pipes in Ukraine and sells it to Europe? Why wouldn't they start with or at least close/bomb that pipe too then?
