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.

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?
