Present the evidence that supports that the US can't be trusted to have not been involved in an attack that we were actively warning the Russians about.
I also disagree that Ukraine has motive. If anything this would hurt them. Nearly every modern military study has found that that attacks on civilians do nothing but strengthen the resolve of the attacked country. Ukraine wants Russian civilians to be disenchanted with fighting a pointless, economically catastrophic war. Killing Russian civilians indiscriminately would hurt this strategy.
You keep trying to assert that I’m claiming bizarre things to try to and discredit me. This isn’t the Daily Show where you create silly straw man scenarios to feel smart.
I would be surprised if the US was involved. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukrainians were. I doubt Ukrainians were, but it is possible. If they had evidence someone they wanted dead was there or some rogue Ukrainian taking an opportunity. The point is we don’t know.
ISIS hasn’t been aggressive like this with Putin. Russias role in Syria with ISIS could be a contributor.
aside from the fact that his WH Press Secretary has consistently told whoppers to misinform the public, his state department officials have been called out in real time for misleading the public, and Biden himself has lied- here’s a specific example related to Biden not telling the truth about Russia.
Nordstream Pipeline
(CNN)
President Joe Biden on Friday called the
leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines a "deliberate act of sabotage" and accused Russia and President Vladimir Putin of "pumping out disinformation and lies," though he did not directly accuse Moscow for the leaks.
Biden's strong words mark the first time he's directly asserted that the leaks were a result of sabotage, pushing back on Russia's narrative about the incident amid Moscow's escalating efforts to assert its claim over Ukrainian territory.
Three months before saboteurs bombed the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, the Biden administration learned from a close ally that the Ukrainian military had planned a covert attack on the undersea network, using a small team of divers who reported directly to the commander in chief of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Now this isn’t as directly dishonest as some of his staffs claims, but it shows that Biden has zero issue spewing bullshit after an event in Russia.
Nobody should trust anything the State Department or White House says on this
