Charlie Kirk says "they're going to have to prove to us it wasn't them."

His Them is the United States. So who does he mean by "us"?

Point of science. You can't prove a negative.

He put his own flourish on it, baselessly suggesting the pipeline explosions might have been a "mid-term operation." We are not sure how the neurons firing in his skull think that makes sense, but sure why not.

Because it’s exactly what he would do if, Jeebus forbid, he was ever in a position to do it.

Snowden is a coward. He’s probably already googled “how to break your own arm at home.”

I was reading that these pipelines are 1.6" steel walls and encased in steel reinforced concrete, the blasts required were strong enough to show up on seismographs in Sweden. Governments aren't the only possibilities, there are a LOT of corporations and even really wealthy individuals who could build an underwater remotely operated vehicle capable of delivering sufficient payload to do that from one of the nearby islands. There are probably underwater versions of the steerable smart bombs that can be kicked off a passing ship. Hardhat divers would require support vessels parked overhead, so that's unlikely. A torpedo would have been heard en route. The charges could have been placed weeks to months ago, since the pipelines are only inspected yearly.

I seriously doubt that we'll ever know what really happened with any confidence.

The hurricane season is not over yet.

Florida could easily catch another storm or three in that time.

We Boomers get a lot of grief, but, when we accused the United States of doing some horrendous shit, we picked things where they were actively involved. This is just, "Something bad happened to a country we like, the Democrats must have done it."
