Baltic Pipeline Discussion (Current Events)

So it was Ukrainians all along then?
Rather convenient ...... (at least according to the evidence)

Convenient for whom?

And your starting with a "So ... " implies that my Oct 2025 post to which you were responding had introduced a new point that changed the discussion - it hadn't. We were discussing Ukraine as a, if not the most for several posters, serious contender all the way back in early 2023.

Please stop being oblique; if you are making a serious point that advances the discourse, I've not been able to extract it from your post.

Yours just happened to be the last post on this subject; "convenient" was not directed at you

It does seem that the "needle of suspicion" in this case has swung from Russia itself (false flag ops), US (Seymour Hersh's account, though excoriated here as it was without clinching evidence), to Ukraine (legal charges being framed after detailed investigations)

My question is also Cui Bono?
Could it be (obviously evidence has to be adduced), that the perfidious Ukrainian(s) were merely the executor and not the ultimate beneficiary?

The US are making up most of the shortfall of Russian gas imports into the EU, though I'd say that's mostly due to the sanctions, with the pipeline problem being a contributing factor at best.

Ukraine benefits from that, too.
