(Apologies for the somewhat late reply, was preparing for a new year's party.)
Before I start, I'd like to add that I made a mistake in my previous post. The points where Nordstream was hit was in the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden - not in international waters.
Sorry 'bout that.

Here's some yankee politicians from some time before the conflict in Ukraine with a similar take which as you can see hasn't changed their tune from two years ago.
Given all of this, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually turns out that the US government had a hand in the attacks.
Of course, I concede that I could also be wrong, and that too is fine. Time will tell all.
they literally tell you their plans right in front of you yet leftists refuse to believe USA can do no wrong!!!
You're dealing with people who are indoctrinated to the point they're willing to hate on command. In this this future where all their naively-cobbled narratives are collapsing in real-time, isolated echo chambers under their control where they can repeat their own gossip to themselves with impunity are their only refuge. It's to be expected - pitiful, yes, but not surprising.
So, don't let their self-imposed ignorance get to you.
After all, the only thing they can do when their misguided rhetoric is faced with hard facts they cannot refute at all is to demand complete censorship, failing to understand that the very purpose of internet forums is multi-directional communication.
And I think that's why they truly fear open discourse between peoples of all nations. In a world where the free exchange of ideas and equal, unhindered communications between peoples is the norm, their propaganda would come under immediate scrutiny, and following that, total breakdown.
I think it's the same kind of fear that resulted in the creation of the great firewall of china.
Best thing to do when they try to start shit with you is to laugh - because if you relax and take a look at the responses, you'll notice how they desperately ignore the crux of the argument, resorting immediately to pathetic personal attacks in an attempt to hide the fact that their feeble excuses don't actually make any sense, and actually fails to justify the behavior of the dimwit politicians at all.
Lets apply their excuse to a hypothetical scenario and see how it goes; if I was a bandit boss and said "that boy is going to get lynched if he's not out of town by sundown", someone asks "how are you going to do that?" and I respond with "I promise you: We will be able to do it." - big shocker, when that boy does get lynched, all suspicion would rightly fall on me and my gang no matter how much anyone on my side says "it was just a threat to get the boy to leave town".
So yeah, I'm gonna sit back, relax, watch the propagandists make fools of themselves and wait and see what kind of comedic blunders happen next. Hey, the "big guy" has made some amusing admissions before, so I'm thinking 2023 will be pretty entertaining too.
Happy (early?) new year!
