Well, the old man didn’t lie about one thing for sure. They certainly were able to do that.
On the other note, it’s funny how in our day and age one can wipe ass with whatever damn agreements and international rules. Just come up into someone’s territorial waters. Drop some kamikaze drones. Blow up multi-billion multi-country project up. Then leave with no fucking consequences. NOBODY WILL EVEN CONSIDER SUSPECTING YOU, HOLY COW.
Exactly this. If Russia had actually done this, the imperial core would be up in arms saying “what’s next? Our communications?”
But because it was a pipeline benefitting Russia and the US’s German dog, people have to swallow 20 billion dollars in destroyed infrastructure.
I would argue that in this case lying only works because of the threat of force. Allow me to use a human example, and yes I know these tend to be cringe.
There’s a case in British history, of two gangsters (Cray brothers) starting a massive fight (IIRC even a gunfight) in broad daylight on a busy street. Not a single person claimed eyewitness. There were dozens of people who must have at least heard something - but everyone was just too scared of being targeted by those mobsters.
Same principle here. USA gets away with blatant in-your-face lying because everyone is worried what would happen if you call them out. Plenty of examples.
Liberals: Russia are trying to confuse us with nonsensical actions like shelling a nuclear power plant!! Don’t fall for the more reasonable and grounded possibility.
My favorite explanation is :He has Cancer, he’s a man with nothing to lose. Like WTF he has a goddamn WAR to lose, why would he ever shell a nuclear plant? And one that he has under control at that?
It’s been a lib talking point in Russia ever since February. IIRC Peskov or someone else up there even had to make an official statement that no, he does not have terminal cancer.
Which was interpreted as “he must have it for certain then, if they have to deny it!”. Because that’s how we roll yo.
I heard that when putin received his diagnosis he personally swam from Moscow to the nord2 steam sabotage site and ripped the pipes apart with his bare hands.
ABC News (@ABC)
President Biden: “If Russia invades… then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
Reporter: “But how will you do that, exactly, since… the project is in Germany’s control?”
Biden: “I promise you, we will be able to do that.”

Liberals creating their own reality. Classic.
