oh yeah 100%, Russian espionage is legendary. I hope you aren't implying that I'm a Russian troll like that meme says about people who mention the CIA, that wasn't really the intention. But judging by the downvotes I got, it seems people are thinking that, haha.

I was trying to make the point that a lot of different nations are capable and have reason to do it.

You underestimate how many Russian "civilians" spy on military bases and factories. Some recently attacked two Albanian soldiers with pepper spray because they were asked to leave a factory area. Similar tactics are used by their puppet states. For example Serbia during the 1999 bombing. They spied on Italian airbases.

Why didn't they react after the US "did" it. Simple! The Russians did it themselves. It was a warning to the West about Russia's naval capabilities. Why not blow up a pipeline that wasn't going to be used again after what Russia did in Ukraine.

it’s not a matter of belief. you can already see this with himars. russia is unable to destroy these launchers, as they outrange russian artillery and russian planes can’t get overhead them either. so himars is invulnerable. the damage ukraine is able to inflict with himars is only limited by himars ammunition and the number of launchers they have, which is both low. nato has hundreds of himars launchers and virtually unlimited ammo. that’s just one weapon system….

Reply to Ukraine: deliberate destruction of culture must stop, say rights experts by BurstYourBubbles

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 78%. (I'm a bot)

> The UN-appointed independent rights experts also expressed concern at the "Continued denigration of the history and identity of Ukrainian people as a justification for war and hatred".

> More than 240 Ukrainian heritage sites are estimated to have been damaged since the Russian invasion on 24 February last year, according to the UN cultural, educational and scientific agency UNESCO. But the true number of attacks could be over 1,000, the rights experts said.

> Special Rapporteurs and independent experts are appointed by the Geneva-based Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a specific human rights theme or a country situation.

I believe the very desire to get into these word games means you are already tricked. It's the wrong approach.

You know the Aesop's fable of "The Wolf and the Lamb"? https://read.gov/aesop/063.html

When talking to a wolf, it is not about the word games. It is about whether you look like a lamb, or a grizzly bear.
