    Fronm anyone interested in the sources, that screenshot is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Nord_Stream_pipeline_sabotage

    It does not support the fact that the factthe “German government knew” anything - rather that there was a police investigation into evidence. Once again “Western Media” is a broad brush, but the coverage I see at the time certainly explored the idea that the Russians may have destoyed the pipeline as one possibility - at the same time point out that there was uncertainty. This is not “pushing a narrative” particularly - it’s trying to explain a mystery.

    As a wise person once said: “things are usually not as black and white. People who complain about misinformation/disinformation are usually guilty of it themselves.”
