interesting to watch the usual suspects try different approaches on this
1) ad hominem attacks
2) demand ‘proof’
3) redirect to the current price of gas in europe (ignoring the legal implications of the attack)
4) simply not post on these threads at all (no script yet?)
we will see if overnite a more cohesive set of ‘debate’ points gets out and they can do better.
as far as the incident itself, it was pretty obvious very early to all who were not determined to see it. cuo boni to the polish MP thanking the US to 2 admin officials openly stating NS2 would not go operational ever in event of war seemed a pretty simple case.
it is, of course, an act of war against germany too but germany is crate-trained and will behave. Russia is unlikely to be baited into anything without some premeditation, and likely they know more than Hersch revealed already.
I assume Putin will have something to say about this **** after he finishes dealing with ukraine...
