When NordStream exploded, everybody blamed Russia. A year later we learned that it was Ukraine.

Who is to say the same isn’t going on now?

Maybe the answer isn‘t clear cut. The place is a warzone and the dam could be collateral damage. Both sides probably damaged the dam before it collapsed, unintentionally or not. Whether russia or ukraine dealt the last blow is still unknown. If it even was intentional we don‘t know. But of course both sides will point fingers with their respective propaganda. I refuse to believe anything unless there‘s proof.

In fairness, while both could have damaged it, if Russia weren’t there in the first place this wouldn’t have happened either so I’m fine with pointing fingers at them until proven otherwise in this case.

The European parliament is involved in the war with leopard tanks, only unafilliated parties can be are trustworthy.

A bit premature, since nobody seems to know what exactly happened. They’d need to actually do an investigation and build a case, instead they just do a vote based on vibes.

Europe is actively involved in the war, you can’t expect neutrality from them.

I look fowards to seeing them suddenly decide it wasn’t a war crime in six months when it comes out Ukraine did it. It’s hilarious how fast people have memory holed Nordstream.

Do you have an actual retort? Nordstream was the responsibility of the USA (and Ukraine by extension). Both of these instances seem very similar, and given that one party has a history of doing exactly this sort of thing and then proceeding to blame the other party, I’m not sure how you can be so certain one way or the other.

This is not to mention that the linked article (from what I skimmed on the horrible website) doesn’t even include any “evidence”; the vote was not based on facts or evidence turned up via investigation and was therefore premature and not founded in reality.

I don’t really care what Ukraine does to defend its country mate. We in Europe were depending too much on Russian oil, which directly funds the Russian government. And look, it was a few rough months with increased gas prices but that made governments all over Europe realise they had to diversify. Can’t blame Ukraine for trying everything in its power to stop the warmongers. It’s not like they’re bombing civilians.

But sure compare that to flooding complete cities.
