Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bo again. So today we are going to talk about

Putin's response to the idea that Ukraine was behind what happened to the pipelines because he had a pretty short and

sweet response to that storyline.

And that response was its sheer nonsense.

He does not appear to believe the recent reporting saying that six people from

from Ukraine were behind the hit on the pipeline.

Now, we have a question about that. Putin just dismissing the idea that Ukraine did the

pipeline just makes me believe it. It doesn't really make sense for him to say Ukraine didn't do it. It

seems like it would motivate his troops and give him justifications. Why would

he say they didn't do it? Putin now has a reputation in the West as just basically anything he says is a lie.

And that's, I think that's... is a lie.

I think that's weighing heavily on how people are reading this.

I think the reason he said that he thinks it's sheer nonsense is because he thinks it's sheer nonsense.

Keep in mind the plot line, the idea that six non-state actors pulled that off with no assistance, no help from anybody,

it's possible. I don't know that it's likely and I think that the reason Putin

responded the way he did is because he doesn't believe it. I don't know that this is a situation where he should

attribute him being deceitful to it. He very well might have just said it sheer nonsense

because he believes it's sheer nonsense. And then from the other side of it, I honestly think that if he did believe it,

he would still say that it's sheer nonsense. I don't think that Putin's messaging is helped by

the idea that six random Ukrainians pulled this off.

From Putin's perspective, he wants Russians at home

to feel safe. He doesn't want them to think that, you know, the war could come to them.
