Not surprising - this is as I fully expected. Got down-voted to oblivion when I suggested the formal story would change in a month - as it now has. It will likely change even more in a couple of months when more details come to light. We already saw how all this played out with Nordstream reporting - with American media fully blaming Russia and hysterical American HN readers calling for a nuclear response against Moscow. All for a NATO sabotage operation carrying out the threat promised on TV by President Biden. Fully detailed by Seymour Hersh.

Of course you would expect this, considering your comment history is full of defending Putin's actions. In real world however, Finnish officials still see sabotage as the most likely cause of these "accidents". Poorly staffed and maintained Russian ships have been sailing the Baltic for a long time, why would they only start breaking cables now? All this proves is that Washington Post can't be trusted, and is likely compromised by Russia like the US government.

  > All this proves is that Washington Post can't be trusted, and is likely compromised by Russia like the US government. This statement utterly boggles one's mind. I am amazed at the levels of delusion required to imagine that a paper that has been rah-rah Ukraine for the last 3 years is now suddenly compromised by the Russian government, because it published an article that challenged one's beliefs. You conveniently never addressed the Nordstream sabotage where Russia was fully assigned the blame by the American media until investigators actually did the job of investigation. The truth was too inconvenient for some - with the Polish PM even explicitly calling for burying the investigation.

    It shows that propaganda works. Its a classic case of "don't confuse me with the facts my mind's made up." The lame stream media are just a propaganda arm of western governments. And its remarkably effective. Just to be clear, I concur with your arguments.
