Isn’t immigration from Africa basically inevitable due to the amount of corruption/mismanagement/wealth disparities mean that in many places they simply aren’t going to support the sheer number of people being born…?

I'm totally open to the possibility that someone in the West blew up Nord Stream. Any evidence that may exist is not in the public domain. For good reasons, because it might be embarrassing, might cause a diplomatic incident, or it could be a trigger for a wider war.
