    It’s crazy how US will do terrorist attacks on Europe and the population is so brainwashed they’ll just accept it.
    Including the economic downsides, high electricity, inflation - doesn’t matter.

    lol wow, this is a doozy:

    • an article from Sputnik
    • crying crocodile tears for an AfD politician
    • where AfD is absolutely a fascist-aspirational party - were it not for Germany’s anti-Naziism laws that they’re usually careful to pay lip service to, they’d certainly be out in the streets sieg heiling
    • and calling a grey area military operation to compromise and/or destroy a Russian oil pipeline (yes, likely done by Ukraine) a “terrorist attack”
    • where the primary motivation for the attack was to compromise Russia’s economic footing vis a vis their expansionism and active invasion of Ukraine
    • juxtaposed with the fact that the Russian Navy and Russian shadow fleet vessels have a proven (though difficult to legally prove) pattern and practice of attempting to disrupt and destroy undersea communications arteries that are owned, used, and shared by pretty much all of the Baltic and Nordic states, all of whom are NATO members now.

    TL;DR: this is a comically theatrical level of geopolitical kabuki and a purely bad-faith argument, on multiple levels - on top of being categorical bullshit.
