    "anyone who still or ever needed anyone to "explain" why or if the US blew up the pipeline must be terminally retarded or 5 years old(max)."

    Or just simply listening to what all Western leaders and media repeatedly tell them is the case... Most of the time you seem to miss the point of this site. The power of the media controls more than the mere "terminally retarded" or "under 5's"...it permeates the entire spectrum: the middle class are particularly prone because they read more than the working class and are therefore more exposed to the very media designed to convince them of the "correct views" to take. The propaganda vehicles used for this job such as the Guardian are particularly insidious. The middle classes likewise occupy the majority of positions in politics, government and indeed the media itself and thus the loop of persuasive group-thinking closes its noose in a tight circle.

    In short its not the retarded nor five year olds we need to be worrying about but the decision makers convinced by the likes of "socialists" Monbiot and Jones that Ukraine is some kind of moral crusade and that throwing guns bombs and planes at this war is aiding the righteous in some Manichean divide between Good and Evil.
