    This is absolutely non-news, pure conspiracy, at least in the first 8 minutes I managed to suffer through. Can we agree the guy needs to get to the point and not ramble? For anyone who watched the whole thing, any timestamps of note? Are there any facts or sources presented other than Biden saying “will stop the pipeline” months before anything happened that I may want to skip to?

    I’m not saying its not plausible, but just because someone may have done something doesn’t mean they absolutely did it.

    I’d say Betteridge’s law of headlines [0] applies in this case until proven otherwise.

    Edit: I see the site (rumble) is associated with truthsocial and locals.com - right wing hate/conspiracy sites. I’mma go ahead and blacklist 2 more domains, thanks for making me aware. 10K + employees at a global corp will no longer have access. Thanks for making me aware.

    Spread fact not conspiracy.

      The one entity that benefit the most from the attack is the US who is selling gas to EU at 20% price increase overnight. That is in the billions.

    It makes no sense for the US to have done this. The risk to reward ratio just doesn’t pencil out. Right now NATO is united behind Ukraine in a way it hasn’t been in decades. There is no need to burn the ships to keep other countries in line. Sabotage like this risks discovery, and discovery would break that unity. I am not saying it was Russia, but it doesn’t pass the sniff test of being the US.

    Unpopular opinion, but it was probably Poland. The only way Russia can send gas to Europe now is through the Yamal–Europe pipeline which they control

    Quite possible, both Russia, to put pressure on the West, and the US, to be able to sell their gas at prohibitive prices, have enough reasons for this sabotage.

        I think equating “damage to property” and “damage to human (or more-than-human) lives” under the same banner of “violence” is a capitalist ploy. It’s used to discredit riots and justify police killings because “both sides” did a violence

        The violence was done over the long term. Forcing people to be reliant on exploitation of mother earth for their own survival. All that happened was a bubble popped. We should focus on who made the bubble more than who popped it

          On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
