> The Minsk agreements were a settlement to the previous war — which said that Ukraine would respect Russian heritage and allow those regions to be semi-autonomous. Where’s Ukraines settlement for Russia breaking the Budapest accords for the past 8 years?. According to you they should get their nukes back now right?. > Instead, they banned the Russian language and shelled those regions for a decade. Russia then invaded after those shelled-for-a-decade regions formally asked for help. Russia installed Russian backed agents to start a civil war, its strange that this has happened, to what 3? Post soviet states it’s as if Russia keeps doing it intentionally. > I think the evidence points to a clear culprit: You are correct on this there is a clear culprit but it’s russia not america. Russia had ships in the area at the time, and Russia benefits from trying to force Germany to certify the Nord stream 2 pipeline that was left undamaged. Additionally Russia gets out of any damages for not supplying gas to countries via claiming force majeure. You should also know that Gazprom had robots that could have quite easily transported these explosives internally in the gas pipes without needing to be in the area.
