    Biden really is the most green President in history.

    Top oil, top LNG, and many of his investment initiatives have divested basically no money.

    • And after they blew it up they blamed Russia and denied denied denied.

      Biden is also after Gaza’s natural gas which is why he is bankrolling the genocide there

    Blowing up Nord Stream and selling LNG to Europe at jacked-up prices is Bidenomics.

        Yes. Seymour Hersh has provided everything we can expect to get short of the CIA and Joint Chiefs declassifying their documentation.

            LMAO Hersh undersells it, he uses intelligence sources and shit, so Snopes just has to be like “erm we don’t think so”. Christ

              Are people assuming I’m pushing a conclusion about who blew up the pipes? I literally just heard about Hersh 2 hours ago and posted some links I found for others who are new to the subject too. Lol take it easy people.

                No I’m just asking why you’re incredulous at the idea. You’re right I can’t expect you to know who Hersh is but he’s a hi-profile investigative journalist who has a patronage relationship with intelligence agencies.

                To me it comes down to whether we believe the deep state source that UK & Ukraine acted more on their own volition and this wasn’t a joint NATO intelligence kind of thing, or we assume they’re just trying to push away blame considering that Germans have to pretend to believe we didn’t bend them over.

                  That’s your assumption. I was just gathering information, that’s all. Maybe you expected me to swallow the thesis without question, idk. You seem to know what you’re talking about so it might just be that you’re surprised that what’s so clear to you after doing dozens of hours of reading is still a nebulous idea to me after 15 minutes of reading.

                  It seems a handful of people had the same assumption as you but I still hold that it was an unfounded assumption as I never expressed an opinion either way.

                  I do appreciate our dialogue and the new information you pointed me to, though.

            And we should believe Snopes over Hersh why exactly? Maybe explain to us why western governments prevented an independent investigation into the bombing, and why the German government sealed the documents from their own MPs?

              Who said we should? Y’all are insane with your assumptions.

                You’re the one who threw in “Snopes article saying his claim is bogus”. So, I’m asking you to elaborate on why it is you believe this Snopes statement to be important. The only thing insane here is how defensive you get when asked a simple question.

            Before we talk about the smoking gun evidence, the tacit admissions by Blinken and Biden, the obvious incentives for the US to do this.

            Have you ever doubted a claim made about Russia based on anonymous sources in your life? Name one

                There are many other stories about Russia that have gotten Snopes approval that relied on the exact same kind of sourcing from AP, Reuters, NYT, Guardian, BBC, France24, all the main shit that has a veneer of legitimacy which gets rated positively by the orgs that give articles disinformation ratings. You know, Apple News filler.

                Snopes is a ridiculous website.
