I will not accuse anyone in this post given the gravity of the situation.
Tucker is laying out the motives the US could have, ill leave that to him, i do believe Russia COULD have a motive also if they can convince us the US did it.
After all, this would amount to a declaration of war against both Germany AND Russia alike. Yes, it may be feasible that this could get us to work together again. At risk of their own economy and leverage. But that could be a motive.
The issue with that theory, of course, would be that Russia really did not have access to that area of the sea whereas the US Navy was doing exercises right above it.
If that does ends up where it is going, i know your average citizen did not do this. Can we just turn around and deal with our own respective leaders? Actually, i am surrounded by other germans so being real here that's not going to happen here i do not think. France, can you lend us some technical help? I know one of your physicians invented a way to solve that issue some time what 300ish years ago?
