And all this time I thought it was an US operation so that Europe would have to start buying gas from the USA
That always seemed like a lot of risk to me for marginal gain from a US perspective. Ukraine on the other hand can argue justification as this is critical infrastructure for a nation they are at war with.
Yeah, that was my intuition. The US has a lot of other levers to get its way, chiefly by diplomacy and leading the way in weapons donations. It would be devastating if the US was found out to have done this. A few people in Ukraine’s military just makes more sense, particularly if they don’t have any connection to high ranking leaders.
The pipeline was already completely shut down. I doubt Europe will be too keen on exposing itself to the risk that Russia poses again.
Perhaps, but I’m sure we’ll find a worse partner in the coming years
I see no problem with the human rights record of Qatar.
