Will be interesting days ahead of us. If it’s Russia then shit will start no doubt.

Or a false flag, perhaps? Seems more likely with the amount of muscle talk coming from the EU right now.
But if it is a US plot, and we can find out and prove it, this might be one of the dumbest things they did. Fucking with your ally?
How many times has the USA been caught spying on European leaders and the public in the last ten years? How many times have they got caught funding terrorists or hurting us in other ways? This entire war with Ukraine is the USA hurting us in their quest to hurt Russia (And of course Ukraine suffers the most).
I’d love to see a strong response condemning the USA, sanctions, cutting ties, demanding reparations, the whole thing, but what I expect to see is some finger wagging at Russia while saying under our breath “(It’s okay we know you didn’t do it…)”.

We’ve been treating Germany badly for a while now. Ally isn’t the greatest word for it. Maybe supra-colony?
Isn’t out of the norm for the U.S
