I can indeed deduce what I wish. Now that is exactly what Ukraine are fighting for and why I and most people in the West support them.
It is really not hard to understand is it. The Russian Federation are hell bent on reimposing an Empire. An Empire of lies and intimidation, of mass poverty and of a super rich oligarchy - a soul less culture poor innovation vacuum where nobodies lives mean anything.
So yes sorry about your bills. But it is a price that has to be paid.
I hope you were holding on tight to your desk when you typed that, quite a sharp turn of topic direction away from just why it was utterly obvious Russia was behind the pipe attacks/sabotage/unfortunate leaking/underwater pushed off a balcony.
I'd replace Russian Federation with Putin tbh, despite what you may think his support isn't as whole as you would believe. You only have to look at the protests that have taken place since this all started to understand the people are not 100% behind the man, ergo by design the people are not at fault for what is happening. You can't blame the people for the government's decisions, if you do then I hope you hold all such folk in the same light - Israelis', Nth Korean's, Chinese, Americans, not to mention British - everyone's government has been a taco at some point.
Oh, and though it is a totally separate conversation, one could say that just by replacing ""Empire"'" with "country" you would be able to lump in 80% of the world into that quote - a sad state of affairs tbh, but most countries have their intrinsic sub-culture of lies and intimidation along with abject poverty and a super-rich elite.
Anyhoo, I digress, I've been thinking about the pipeline and maybe it was done by Russia as a "look what we can do" threat - we're capable of doing this so watch out for your pipelines sort of thing. But that is the only one I can surmise.
And even in that instance, if they can do this then why haven't they done the same to the undersea internet cables etc that run into Ukraine, I'm sure there must be some. I mean if I'd started this whole brickshow, in this day and age one of the first things I would do is tamper with the undersea cables for comms etc - hell Russia has even started, and I believe quite a way fwd with, their splinternet to decouple from the rest of the delightful interweb so they won't affect themselves so much.
Aah, bills are bills - besides, I can't take the money with me when I pop my clogs.
