The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the US received intelligence in June 2022 about a Ukrainian plot to bomb the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline that connects Russia to Germany.
The report omitted the fact that investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has sources who said President Biden ordered the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines.
The Post report cited an intelligence assessment leaked to Discord by Airman Jack Teixeira but did not publish the document. The report said that an unnamed European country’s intelligence service shared information with the CIA about the alleged Ukrainian plot.
The Post said that the Ukrainian plotters were not rogue operatives but reported directly to Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces. The report said they initially planned to attack the pipelines at the end of NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea in June 2022, known as BALTOPS.
According to Hersh’s reporting, US Navy divers planted explosives on the Nord Stream pipelines during BALTOPS, and they were detonated by a Norwegian spy plane dropping a sonar buoy in the area on September 26, 2022.
The idea that the US suspected Ukrainian involvement in the Nord Stream bombings first surfaced in a New York Times report that was published on March 7. Sources told Hersh that the report was a cover-up planted in the paper by the CIA to discredit his story that points the finger at President Biden.
Hersh’s allegations about President Biden ordering the bombing have not been confirmed by other sources, but the US had a clear motive for the attack. The US had tried to stop the construction of Nord Stream 2 for years using sanctions. On February 7, 2022, President Biden vowed to “bring an end” to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine.
Biden was in the know, he must have told Scholz, he did not act even look surprised at all and had nothing to say when Biden let it slip. All the neocons involved knew they needed his permission or order to CYA.
Another BS CYA story to deflect from what is known. And WaPo does its duty and the Times did earlier. If they give Zel enough money, he’ll even admit to it, why not?
More likely more nonsense and misdirection but if true there is no other conclusion other than the same officials have been lying about pretending to be ignorant the past year.
Exactly. Previously, they were lying about knowing the truth; but now you can totally trust them about the truth they have decided to selectively release.
Sure. Russia wants to commit acts that greatly enhance the possibilities of keeping this “war” going by revving up the public’s ire against Russia! NATO/USA are losing this propagated war BIG TIME so the only strategy left, to keep that flow of money into the Ukraine’s war chest, is the USUAL lying! Truth is the first casualty of war.
“Hersh’s allegations about President Biden ordering the bombing have not been confirmed by other sources…” Yeah, we have gotten to unbelievable and unconceivable levels in rejecting the truth even when obvious. Even the blind don’t need their eyes to see the truth. (Sarcasm alert)
I find it extremely curious WaPo keeps claiming they have are merely reporting on Discord leaks that no one else has reported on little alone seen.
Who is feeding them this stuff really and what is the purpose behind the security state using one of their instruments, WaPo, to do so?
Or on bliwing up a dam, or Russian ammonia fertilizer pipeline. It has bern blown up because Russia was giving free fertilizers to African countries. This pipeline was blicked before, even though part of grain deal was to unblick pioelune. The next thing will be nuclear plant. Why not? Europe and US promised Ukraine a win. So laggards, you will get some skin in the game or Ukraine will release nuclear particles in the air to blanket Europe using prevailing winds.
Poison the planet? Why not.
Do we really know who are we dealing with?
Of course- if the Ukrainians did it, it’s an act of war. If the US did it, it’s an act of terrorism- and of course we can’t have that, can we?
Anyone with a brain knows it was the Americans who destroyed the NS2 pipe line .
Uh huh. I’m waiting for the WaPo to produce evidence that Ukraine stole the Beatles yellow submarine to destroy NordStream.
(Satire)
Don’t laugh … the WSJ has not been given their “scoop” yet … it’s their turn.
Sometimes it seems like they purposely want to prove to you how imbecilic they can make the MSM look …
yes, Ukraine has an awesome fleet of submarines just itching for something to do.
right uncle sam?
uncle sam = “i don’t know what you are talking about”
