Exactly this. They are where they are ordered and paid to be.

Also, bonus fact. A lot of the anti oil sands environmental groups in Canada (which oppose Canadian fossil fuels) were funded by Russia (not sure what happened after the Russia/Ukraine conflict but I would not be shocked if they are still allowed to fund them). The obvious motivation for Russia was that if Canada produced less fossil fuels, the gap in supply will allow Russia to make more money through higher crude prices and the ability to sell more oil. The benefit to the activists is that they make money. I'm not sure if they ever question why they are being funded by another major oil producer. It might be that they don't actually care about the environment they are supposedly so dedicated to protecting. Also, WEF/CCP run Canadian government was never bothered by this either. Did nothing about it and made sure the public was kept in the dark through their control of the legacy media. Technically, whenever one of these groups attacks a pipeline, it should be considered terrorism but it never has been. Just goes to show how corrupt the Canadian government is. It's only terrorism when they don't like the people doing it or they can use it to grab more power.
