Russia diplomat says Ukraine wouldn't have attacked Nord Stream without US approval in c/[email protected]

Mods are not Gods. We do not have universal knowledge. If someone is spouting garbage, point why, preferably back it up with evidence, and above all do so respectfully.

Far as I can tell they were arguing that the pipe sabotage was pointless as the pipes were mostly unused, and that it harms relations with a friendly and prominent nation and consequently jeopardizes NATO/EU membership. Sounds like a cogent argument that I personally don't like but am not going to censor unless they are rude.

Next time: show that the pipes were in use (they obviously were), that the perpetrators have not been shown to be sanctioned by the UA government as of yet, and that despite the damage Germany has been a faithful supporter even beyond discovery of who the agents were believed to be. Just do so without using direct insults. Not difficult or unreasonable.

The message wasn't the issue. It was how it was said. Share your opinions freely so long as they aren't pro-invader and are respectful.

Reuters vs Aljazeera... I wonder which is the more believable news source, particularly with regards to Israel events.

edit: Without getting into the weeds Liberalism and Left/Right are usually considered separate spectrums and the definition varies wildly depending on where you're from.

In the future, it's better to link to the original news article rather than a derivative citing it. Particularly when the derivative also needs translation.

Had he stated anything about what the SOF in Ukraine were doing I would agree with you. I believe the consensus is they are there training Ukraine troops.

MOSCOW, July 25 (Reuters) - The Kremlin signalled on Thursday it was open to negotiations with Ukraine on ending the conflict while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy remains in power despite publicly doubting his legitimacy to rule.

Nothing to get excited about. Although, it seems to me a sign Russia is really starting to feel the pain.
