The UN Security Council voted Monday against a Russian effort to get an independent investigation into the bombings of the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines that connect Russia to Germany.
The only members of the Council that voted in favor of the resolution were Russia, China, and Brazil. The remaining 12 members abstained from the vote, including the US, the likely culprit of the attacks.
The resolution had little chance of passing since it needed at least nine votes in favor and no veto from any of the five permanent members of the Security Council: the US, China, Russia, Britain, and France.
Russia has been pushing for an international inquiry into the Nord Stream sabotage since investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a bombshell report in February that alleged President Biden ordered the bombings.
Hersh’s report said US Navy divers planted explosives on the pipelines in June 2022 under the cover of NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea. The operation was carried out with Norway, and a Norwegian spy plane dropped a sonar buoy on September 26, 2022, that detonated the explosives.
The US has denied responsibility for the bombing, and The New York Times recently published a story that claimed US officials believe a “pro-Ukrainian group” might be responsible for the sabotage. But according to Hersh, the new narrative was planted by the CIA after members of the spy agency were ordered to concoct a cover story to point responsibility away from the US following a meeting between President Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
If they thought it was Russia there would be no stopping them. What a joke it all is. Global endemic corruption.

What does Biden fear? The truth? Yes and foreign snoopers into CIA.
Biden has nothing to fear, he is a senile old man, but his administration does not have that excuse. They are fully responsible war criminals. Nuland, Blinken, and Sullivan and all the others that give and execute illegal orders.
The big surprise would have been if the UN Security Council would investigate the Nord Stream Bombing. The UN is controlled by the US and they know the US did it.
The UN HAS NO CREDIBILITY LEFT, THE OFFICIALS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT THEIR PAY CHECKS.
Why else would the U.N. be in New York?
The absurd NYT, and Die Zeit story only confirmed Seymour Hersh.
Hersch allegation confirmed.
Did the US veto it – oh wait they did not, so not really a confirmation.
biden literally said that the US would “end the nord stream pipeline” = his exact words. and then surprise! it mysteriously blew up, but of course the US did not do it, right? anyway the only ones hurt by that are the germany who depend on that gas supply. but i’m sure that uncle sam has assured germany that the US will supply them with all the gas that they need.
Of course, but with LNG at double to triple the price of Nordstream oil. This meets the neocon goal of crippling Germany, our “ally”.
Yes saying that they would end it and actually doing it is however two very different things. The gain for the US in blowing it up by September where it was no longer in use was minimal while the risk was just as big as it was in March. The Germans have weathered the first winter and there is all signs that they will do so with the next as-well – and yes by late 2023 they will have the LNG capacity to cope.
A chance to prove Seymour wrong but they pass? I wonder why.
This is the Admission of Guilt by US and its EU allies….! and the independent investigation of bombing is already done by Seymour Hersh….!
