Seymour Hersh has dropped the most explosive bombshell piece of investigative journalism for the year so far. He presents evidence, detailed below, that the US Department of Defense blew up the Nordstream pipelines last year, to harm Russia’s energy exports, and to keep countries that were to use the energy, out of Russian influence. The usual suspects, such as the CIA were involved. Hersh cites unnamed sources who had direct knowledge of the operational planning, and who did what. Previously Sweden and Denmark, from their investigation, found that the pipelines we destroyed by acts of sabotage, but did not name the suspects. As well, Joe Biden said in a speech that the pipeline would not go ahead, and implied in questioning that the US would stop it, presumably by force.
