As it should be. We need to act like we are dealing with a country at war with us by proxy.

Have I missed something or you (who are 'we', btw?) are at war with Germany which owns half of Nord Stream? I think German citizens need to know who is their real enemy.

Your comment is definitive but your reference is to a Wikipedia section labelled as "speculation".

The commenter you're responding to is a complete Russian apologist, and always shows up in these threads with whataboutism, other logical fallacies, and Russian propaganda.

It might be beneficial for discussion to lay out this argument in a facts-based manner instead of by namecalling.

It might be but as someone who attempts that in many discussions: it's fucking exhausting to take the high road all the time against apologists, propaganda-fed brains, etc.

Namecalling is a natural evolution of said exhaustion. Bullshit will always take orders of magnitude more effort to fight than to spew it.

The commenter you insulted simply mentioned the Nordstream sabotage, which is now forbidden and flagged by the NATO brigades here.

It is not "bullshit" at all and you are the one engaging in propaganda.

I'll listen when you aren't posting cowardly behind a throwaway, thank you very much.

A reminder that the US president PLEDGED to end Nord stream 2 if Russia invades.

Additionally, the only ones to gain from such an action would be US & Ukraine.

An action that risked the livelihood of millions of supposed "allies". Germany would be in shambles if the winter of 22-23 wasn't as mild as it was.
