Limited hangout to try and cover up that the US did it
It doesn't matter which nation produced the actors responsible, there is a ruling class of criminals who defy borders to create conditions wherein they can profit. The extent to which the constituent parts of this CIA/foreign intelligence services/business/organized crime network actually meet and speak frankly versus just generally being able to read the room is not important because the outcome is indistinguishable to us whether it's 10 guys in a smokey room or 10000 people acting as part of a system. It's a bad system either way and it should be replaced with one that makes any ruling class dictation impossible.
But I thought Ukraine didn't do it and Russia blew it up instead as a false-flag operation? 
I think that absurd line held in mainstream media for what, maybe two or three months until it was untenable and they started pretending that some Ukrainians did it in a tiny boat
I think that absurd line held in mainstream media for what, maybe two or three months until ~~it was untenable~~ regular people forgot Nord Stream even existed
Even worse that people will continue to believe it even after the truth comes out
they started pretending that some Ukrainians did it in a tiny boat
Looks like that's going to be the official line if they're looking to arrest a single guy and maybe a handful of others
It's absolutely absurd to believe that this was done by three people on a tiny fishing boat but that's what's going to enter the public record forever and anyone who disagrees is a tankie
Yup.
Russia blew up their own pipeline that was printing them money, so that they could lose lots of money AND anger the West more, instead of just turning it off. Or charging even more exorbitant prices. Or just not doing that.
So many levels of idiocy, and yet that obvious lie worked

It’s a short step to just say it was a Russian-sympathizing Ukrainian

but it's Zelensky wearing the glasses99% positive that the US paid some ukranian guy to steal a useless blastcap just to have evidence that a ukranian was involved
I did think immediately 'ah, they've found themselves a fall guy'
More info will come out in time, I suppose. Give it 50 years.
I'm certain that this guy is already at a CIA black site, if he hasn't been killed by them already.

This article left out the best part: the guy's called Volodymyr Z 
Can't believe that actually made me laugh out loud. I am truly poisoned.
The 'Ukrainian diver' is russian or Germany became tankie? /s
"The ukrainian diver is russian" is the most dominant theory on Reddit and I'm not joking
never forget the boston marathon bombing and the geniuses over on that site
I witnessed that shit live. I swear, every big terrorist attack in the US gets South Asians the big stick.
Al Qaeda hit the Towers? An Indian/Pakistani IT nerd gets whacked, bonus points if they’re Sikh.
Dagestani white dude bombs marathon? Where are the brown mother fuckers.
It’s always color pallette. All the time every time.
Dollars to donuts the propaganda posters against Russians will have them depictdd with brown skin
Besides the implication of Putin destroying a thing that he already posses been idiotic, the phrase "ukrainian diver is russian" is itself dumb.
If I was putin and I didn't want the pipe I would do the third dimension clever chess move of just turning it off, or like.. not building it.
the cope i saw on 
was that it would've been terrorism to not blow the pipeline up and this is good.
I can't tell if this is a bit

My head canon is that whoever did this may have been Ukrainian but they were for sure CIA asset and now the state department will begin their inevitable process of abandoning Ukraine and throwing them under the bus for their own failures in this conflict w/ Russia
yeah, CIA provided the planning and equipment and they just grabbed some local manpower so they can take the fall instead if necessary. Textbook plausible deniability. Looks like the Ukrainian operatives got away with it anyway with Poland's help (they are so rabidly anti Russian they for sure would help them and the US with this)
