re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Except that the idea that the US blew up Nord Stream is abysmally stupid. The Biden administration is so afraid of "escalation" that we lecture Ukraine about why they shouldn't hit Russian oil refineries. We set Ukraine up for losses in the Kharkiv region because Russia is allowed to mass forces in their side of the border and Ukraine can't hit them. The Biden administration projects weakness in every way, and yet we are somehow supposed to believe that they blew up Nord Stream? On the basis of zero evidence? Remember that Sy Hersch's folly was completely exposed -- there are tons of commercially available satellite images showing that ships were not where his story claimed.
