“The story last night was on fox news. it showed both biden and a high state department official saying on camera in January that nordstream would be targeted in the event of a russian invasion.”
I remember Biden talking about that. Biden had gotten assurances from Germany before the war started that Germany would shut NS 2 down if RuZZia invaded.
Earlier it was reported that the zelensky and putin back in april had a deal worked out for russian withdrawal in exchange for ukranian promise to not join nato. (Its unclear as to whether the russian withdrawal included lands conquered in 2014. likely not.)
The US killed that deal. why? The US wants regime in Russia.
The same state dept people who were in charge of regime change in iraq are now in charge of regime change in russia.
this is why putin’s government is making such over the top statements. they’re afraid of being taken out. what’s more everything they do makes their demise ever more probable.
I just don’t see how any good can come from completely destablizing the russian federation. I don’t see how that can do anyone any good.
but that’s what’s happening. Long lines of russia’s best leaving the country? oh man. every move of russian’s leadership just makes things worse.
