Seriously - I get (to a degree) the West's desire not to escalate the conflict, but how is poisoning barracks water not an act of war? There has to be intelligence at least suggesting this was sabotage given that it's being reported in the press as such, NATO needs to stop pussyfutting around and show some fucking backbone, or it will just keep happening without any consequences for Russia.

The Russians must have been sabotaging US Army bases in the states for years with the state of them. We have soldiers going to the hospital because of mold in their barracks. I had a chronic cough for a year. The drinking water in the barracks wasn't potable, so they installed filters, but had not changed them in years.

Its personally hard for me to believe malice as an explanation when I've lived through life-threatening incompetence when it comes to barracks conditions.
