It seems like it was only yesterday that the Western media was blaming Vlad Putin for blowing up their own Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline. Never mind the logical point that Russia could have turned off the pipeline if it wanted! Now the going story is that the Ukraine blew it up, and the CIA knew this, but allowed the Russia lie to spread: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/breaking-ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelensky-approved-operation-blow/.
In any case the actual operation was done by a team of citizens, approved by Zelensky for the cost of about US $ 300,000, mainly for the explosives and underwater team. The idea in Mr Z's head was that Europe could freeze during a particularly bitter winter, people would die, and thus there would be more support for his corrupt regime. The interesting question, asked, but not answered byMattias Desmet, is why the Western elites are throwing Zelensky under a bus now?

Perhaps with a Middle East war, and coming war with China, the Ukraine may be regarded as a lost cause?
