Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Well who didn't see this coming.


The first Russian assault on the capital of Ukraine had only recently been repelled when, in the spring of 2022, operatives from the CIA, America's foreign intelligence agency, met with Ukrainian specialists in covert sabotage operations in the Podil district of Kyiv. The group was apparently familiar with each other – they had known each other for years.

The Ukrainians, according to people familiar with the meeting, had brought an idea along with them: They wanted to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, the tubes that transported several billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia to Germany, thereby providing a source of financing for Moscow's war against their country. The Americans appeared to like the plan, Ukrainian participants in the meeting would later tell confidants.

This war would have been over before it started if the Germans stopped buying Russian gas from the pipelines that flow through Ukraine...heck, the if Ukraine had killed every line that flowed through their country (three major pipelines) it would have been over. But no, all of Western Europe essentially made it clear they'd keep buying Russian oil and that nothing better happen to those pipelines. Everyone is full of shit.
