Sabotaged Pipelines and a Mystery: Who Did It? (Was It Russia?)“
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/28/world/europe/pipeline-sabotage-mystery-russia.html?campaign_id=2&emc=edit_th_20220929&instance_id=73219&nl=todaysheadlines®i_id=64819499&segment_id=108413&user_id=22908bead5afd33f3d13be8f59b99707
even suggesting that Russia may have blown up their own pipeline, the NYT is killing its last vestige of credibility.
You know exactly this is a lie.
The only force that has a vital interest in doing so is the US / NATO conglomerate – to make sure, there is no way Germany could change their mind and go back on their decision to let their people freeze to death this winter, and to economically destroy Germany, THE economic force and leader of Europe.
You and your analysts know that.
Unfortunately, there is no common people’s influence on our reporting. There are stronger forces that have bought into your mind-bending journalism.
Still, once a supporter of the NYT, I feel I want to tell you.

Russian Proxies in Ukraine Push Moscow to Annex Occupied Regions

Vladimir Putin will sign agreements on Friday to take over four Ukrainian regions, the Kremlin said, after votes widely denounced as a sham
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/09/29/world/russia-ukraine-war-news?emc=edit_na_20220929&ref=headline&nl=breaking-news#putin-will-sign-agreements-on-friday-that-will-allow-takeover-of-ukrainian-regions-the-kremlin-says
Here too, these are not “proxy” Russians who signed a sham petition to be annexed to Russia. You know it very well.
These are real Russians, living in the far Eastern part of Ukraine, the Donbas area mostly, who have been discriminated ever since the US instigated Maidan coup on 22 February 2014 – when a neo-Nazi government was installed that let the Nazi Asov Battalions literally slaughter Ukraine’s own people in Donbas — at least 14,000 were reported killed – about half of them children – in the eight years since the “Victoria ‘Fuck the Europe’ Nuland” coup.
See this https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 .
We are talking about the same Asov Battalions, that helped Hitler during WWII fight against Russia.
Already in 2014 / 2015 the Donbas districts wanted to join Russia. President Putin did not allow it, because at that time he still believed in the “Minsk” Agreements, sponsored by France and Germany.
These agreements were principally meant to protect the Donbas people, as well as to demilitarize – de-Nazify – Ukraine, and to keep NATO out of Ukraine. None of the conditions of the Minsk Agreements (September 2014 and April 2015) were ever adhered to.
If truth-seeking geopolitical analysts around the globe know the real background, you, Editor-in-chief of the NYT, and your journalists, know the real story too. Still, you report lies and half-truths to further influence and promote people’s opinion against Russia.
The New York Times has become weaponized against Russia and China, by your mere reporting.
Don’t you think that this will eventually backfire?
