So, we make up whatever narrative we want that aligns with our existing biases even when it makes no sense?

We don't make anything up. We try to stick to facts rather than psychoanalyze fallible, impulsive, irrational humans.

The facts are that the two countries that stand to gain the most from blowing up the pipeline are the Ukraine and the United States. Russia has very little to gain.

The facts are that your account is 81 days old and you say, "the Ukraine". Given these facts someone might conclude that you're a shill. You could be, but it doesn't necessarily follow.

This is an unhinged reply. Also people say "the Ukraine", so? And what would I be shilling? I'd suggest common sense, but the terminally online seem hungry for war and global conflict these days so they all seem to be checking that at the door.

Facts like these?

> It must be some Russian separatist groups in Ukraine pretending to be pro-Ukraine had sabotaged the pipelines. We are in the midst of another disinformation campaign by Russia.
