The points in favor of trusting the source here are:

  1. Tons of circumstantial evidence pointing in the same direction
  2. The significant history of the journalist breaking/reporting on similar stories
  3. It’s presumably someone inside the U.S. government being critical of it, meaning less incentive to make up this kind of story

Democrats will reject the story for obvious reasons. The Republicans, however, will reject the story because the source said of Biden “I gotta admit the guy has a pair of balls. He said he was going to do it, and he did.”

I mean it really does take balls to point a proverbial shotgun at your foot and pull your finger

Blowing up the pipeline hurt Russia and Europe. The U.S. now gets to sell gas to Europe at inflated prices and prolong the war it (not most of Europe) wants.

Once it’s done what is anyone going to do? The EU would more or less have to form a united front with Russia against the US to retaliate and that’s a pretty big ask given that the US owns so much of the EU’s politicians.
