Russia would love to pick up where they left off when all this is said and done. Oil to Europe is a primary revenue stream. They may be a lot of things but not that stupid.
Seems to me the media is winning the propaganda war and nationalism is clouding judgment. The good versus evil narrative seems to have swept a lot of inconvenient details under the carpet.
I never understood how German people could support Hitler when I was younger, but the brainwashing spin of the media is a very powerful force. I guess it even applied back then. Good people can be manipulated in to believing whatever a country wants it to.
I am open minded as to who destroyed the pipeline. I guess perhaps with the politics involved it is a conversation best avoided.
