Another one of those interesting discussions that the news seems to have forgotten. It seems Ukraine had the most to gain, but from my limited understanding it's not so easy to robotically place explosives at the bottom of the sea in a precise, destructive manner unless you have a really well-funded naval force.

It kind of reminds me of the polonium poisoning that has become a Russian signature move. Despite not taking credit, the number of actors who have the capability to do it is so limited that it's basically outing them regardless.

No one seems to want to bring up the press conference where Biden said that if Russia invaded Ukraine there would no longer be a nord stream pipeline. When asked to clarify he said something like " oh youll see"

Everyone just forgot that happened. Strange.

Nobody "forgot". Germany shut it down in February[1], like he said they would. The White House celebrated those words coming true literally the day after.[2]
