Even the comments in this article you linked are criticising it pretty hard. Again, this is the guy who was consistently correct in decades, and the Nordstream issue is hottest potato since "Cuban" missile crisis, a literal attack on ally by USA and part of escalation which might as well lead to WW3. Of course a lot of people and institutions are gonna try to deflect it really hard.

United States would have to do to outweigh the atrocities that Russia has perpetrated

Russia horribly mischaracterized a political pressure cooker, and made it tremendously worse by invading. You are repeating that purposeful propaganda in this moment. Protecting ‘ethnic russians’ was never the goal.

Yawn, cut and slice and gotcha moment.

I suppose next you’ll tell me that the Crimean peninsula vote to join Russia was above board?

We really don't have anything to talk about.
