That's just 16.8 B in military aid. There are large humanitarian and economic aid numbers as well.Ukraine takes back dozens of 'annexed' towns; Putin says Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant belongs to Russia
Ukraine's counteroffensives in the south and east continue to make headway, with President Zelenskyy announcing dozens of liberated settlements.www.google.com
The Biden administration announced another $625 million military aid package for Ukraine on Tuesday, bringing the U.S. commitment to more than $16.8 billion since Russia invaded the country in late February.
Putin doesn't believe they did...he claims they did. It seems almost certain it was him doing this so he can play these types of games.
Where are you getting this conspiracy theory from? Russia intentionally hurts their own infrastructure to justify what exactly?
Conspiracy theory?

So that's where it stops making sense. The sanctions stopped it from being used. Blowing it up stops it from being turned on should the situation deescalate. This means less money for Russia in that event and isn't logical. Putin could gain "Sympathy" in plenty of other ways should that have been his goal.Conspiracy theory?
I believe there is a whole thread about this. As well as this...
Russian warships and submarines spotted near sabotaged Nord Stream pipeline
Sightings of naval vessels on Monday, Tuesday and last week revealed as sateillite images of Russian boats in area in June are published
Russian warships, submarines spotted near Nord Stream gas leak sites, reports CNN
Russian navy vessels were spotted near the sites of the gas leaks in the Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2 pipelines on Sept. 26 and 27, CNN reported with reference to sources in Western intelligence agencies.www.yahoo.com
Seems there is more stuff like that linking Russia doing it to put more pressure on things...as well as play the blame game with the West to gain sympathy for himself...far more than any connection to the US doing this.
Ending the pipeline...as discussed the entire thread dedicated to this topic...was already pretty much done between sanctions and other pressures. He was discussing Nord 2 with that...which sat abandoned since the invasion.

Both Nord Streams are two pipelines, there's still one pipeline of Nord Stream 2 operational.So that's where it stops making sense. The sanctions stopped it from being used. Blowing it up stops it from being turned on should the situation deescalate. This means less money for Russia in that event and isn't logical. Putin could gain "Sympathy" in plenty of other ways should that have been his goal.Conspiracy theory?

Europe is hurt the most by it and now the US is in a prime position to supply liquified natural gas to Europe this winter and use this a strategic opportunity to pull Europe away from Russian energy dependence.
If this was Russia, it was one of the dumber moves they could make. If this was western actions, it was one of the best things that could have happened for them.
So ignore their boats...ignore it fits everything Putin has done (including having read its similar to how he came into power)...ignore its always pushing propaganda to blame the West for things to gain him support.
I think Russia did it. If Biden did do it he’s more gangster than I thought.I'll add Jeffery Sach's take. Right, wrong, or indifferent.
Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs yanked off air after accusing US of sabotaging Nord Stream pipeline
Columbia Professor Jeffrey Sachs has accused the US of sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea, prompting television hosts to pull the plug on his TV interview.
Only Russia pushes propaganda. We all know this. US intelligence and western media have an impeccable track record with these things.
Europe wasn’t going to turn it back on with him being crazy. If Russia some how stops acting like a maniac this thing will be repaired and turned back on.
Its going to be a cold winter in Europe. In reality they need these pipelines more than Russia will over the next 6 months. I wish them the best figuring it out.

They weren’t turning this one on as long as Russia was in Ukraine. That shipped seem to sail a ways back.

Who is saying impossible? Im saying improbable vs Putin being the far more likely culprit.
Why do you think my comment was directed at you?
I stated my position...after asking you who is saying its impossible. So...who is?
I was making a statement. If I was accusing a specific poster, I would have quoted them.
Is nobody allowed to comment on your post because it wasn't directed to a specific poster?
Not at all, especially if you disagree with what I said. But I made a general comment and one that sho apparently agreed with. But instead of ignoring it or hitting like or responding in agreement, he turns it into whatever it is now. Sorry but that's the type of silliness that makes it hard to actually post here.
I have faith the US and NATO would find it if they started looking. The phone example is a little off because the phone needs to ping a tower to work and we can see it updating. Sub hunting is more like finding someone using a walkie talkie or CB radio to communicate. You need to be in the right radius to find it.
would you agree that they probably are looking i mean they have to be right take that to the bank brohans
Found it or never lost track of it?
which side would you prefer to be on. with your new hawkness......I suspect ours.
You think I’m a Tucker Carlson alias or something?
It left port and no one knew where it was until it was spotted on satellite.
