It's only a hidden history because the NATO news engine buried the lede and treated the diplomatic negotiations as Russian propaganda

Harm reduction is when you vote for a fascist who arms and funds Nazis in Ukraine, while arming and funding the mass murder of innocent children. Harm reduction is when we decide that genocide is not a red line, this time

Kind of weird question maybe, I'm up unreasonably late, but is there a term for the thought process that leads someone to a probably true conclusion (such as the US, Norway, and Ukraine collaborated on the nordstream demolition) due to inference/pattern recognition/intuition, without undeniable evidence?

The wings carry fuel and they're made of carbon fiber and aluminum, lightweight materials. They have to be light relative to the overall mass of the plane to minimize wing loading.

The fuselage contains landing gear, bulkheads, cargo, fuel, APU, and so on, which are not lightweight and not made of cardboard (WTF?) and the body is oriented longitudinally so it drives all that mass into a smaller cross section, whereas the wings distribute their impact over a wider area.

Also, there were conspicuous scorch marks on the wall in the shape of the wings, with a bigger, deeper mark where the engines were, which you'd expect if the fuel in the wings exploded and the entire wing assemblies disintegrated. Also, it doesn't really make sense that the Pentagon would attack itself with a missile. If they want to assassinate people they'll just kill them through covert means. If they need to destroy evidence they'll burn it.

The more incredible story is the missile one, you have to suspend critical thinking and ignore important facts to believe it.

sets the precedent that the only way to be truly safe from wars of aggression

This precedent had already been established before the SMO, compare NATO treatment of Libya with its approach to Korea.

Ok, Asian here and rice eater here also and I think the right way to respond to racist cliches is with hostility, same way we ought to respond to Nazism and other forms of fascism. if you want to reclaim the word, fine whatever. But you're drawing a false equivalence between westerners trying to self-criticize their use of chauvinistic language, and the imperial governments that enforce that chauvinism in the first place (wtf?)
