Good. It should’ve never existed. I hope whoever is responsible for its untimely demise gets a medal.

With allies like this, who really needs Russia as an enemy.

If, after Russia attacked Georgia and Ukraine in Crimea and Donbas, Germany has decided to team up and provide Russia with a steady stream of cash in exchange for gas, it's on Germany. It can't go all surprised Pickachu when the pipeline suddenly blows up.

Ukraine indirectly funds Russia by buying diesel from India who bought it from Russia. Maybe they should start with cutting off themselves before going after allies.

>Russia attacked Georgia

"Georgia started war with Russia: EU-backed report.

An independent report blamed Georgia on Wednesday for starting last year's five-day war with Russia, but said Moscow's military response went beyond reasonable limits and violated international law." [0]

The Russian exercise was named Caucasus 2008 and units of the North Caucasus Military District, including the 58th Army, took part. The exercise included training to aid peacekeeping forces stationed in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.[135] During exercises, a pamphlet named "Soldier! Know your probable enemy!" was circulated among the Russian soldiers. The pamphlet described the Georgian Armed Forces.[136] Russian troops stayed near the border with Georgia after the end of their exercise on 2 August, instead of going back to their barracks.[113] Later, Dale Herspring, an expert on Russian military affairs at Kansas State University, described the Russian exercise as "exactly what they executed in Georgia just a few weeks later [...] a complete dress rehearsal."[134]

what a coincidence. Georgia started the war just after the "exercises" where russia rehearsed just that war.

You shouldn't be calling for violence in response to a political disagreement.

Blowing up a pipeline in a war isn't violence, it's warfare, and thus IMHO Ukraine had every right to destroy a piece of infrastructure that could be used as political leverage and source of income for its invaders.

It's a popular page in the playbook these days.
