"In December of 2021, two months before the first Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Jake Sullivan convened a meeting of a newly formed task force—men and women from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the State and Treasury Departments—and asked for recommendations about how to respond to Putin’s impending invasion.
It would be the first of a series of top-secret meetings, in a secure room on a top floor of the Old Executive Office Building, adjacent to the White House, that was also the home of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB). There was the usual back and forth chatter that eventually led to a crucial preliminary question: Would the recommendation forwarded by the group to the President be reversible—such as another layer of sanctions and currency restrictions—or irreversible—that is, kinetic actions, which could not be undone?
What became clear to participants, according to the source with direct knowledge of the process, is that Sullivan intended for the group to come up with a plan for the destruction of the two Nord Stream pipelines—and that he was delivering on the desires of the President.” (read more)
As the article notes, initially in the planning stage, Joe Biden and his administration were all-in for the operation, assuming of course the resulting action -essentially a declaration of war- came with plausible deniability.

Not buying it. Who leaked? How was the attack carried out?
Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the German people respond to this revelation. I doubt they will be happy to put it mildly. Just how much of a lackey are they willing to be?
War games were done over Nordstream in summer, the timed bombs blew up 3 months later.
It will be interesting to see if the WH has any comments on this (and if true, how they address it).
The propaganda behind the "Putin bad, 'murica good" campaign is relentless, so an act of American aggression presents no small hurdle for it to overcome.
Come on Putin, nuke the Whitehouse, I will cheer!
Where are Islamic suicidal bombers when we need them?
That’s an amazingly reckless act of war.
No, I am not remotely a Putin fan.
But this was an unprovoked attack on the assets of a sovereign nation in international waters.
Completely insane.
I’m not buying it because it was written by Seymour Hersh. He’s the same guy who ran a story that GWB was running covert actions in Iran prior to the 2008 election was going to go full bore war with Iran before he left office: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/07/07/preparing-the-battlefield
Many of already knew it was the US, Biden and Nuland both voiced a promise to take out Nordstream2 if Putin invaded Ukraine. The US is the only one who benefits from this action. Something like this is an act of war and a pretty big deal, and yet there’s few responses on here when Hersh’s article was posted earlier.
Uncle Sam or the Mossad is my bet
“Come on Putin, nuke the Whitehouse, I will cheer!
Where are Islamic suicidal bombers when we need them?”
And this passes for fr patriotism these days.
No wonder fr is having fundraising struggles.
And trump threatened to annihilate moscow.
Who is the war monger,?
:The US is the only one who benefits from this action”
Ametica first! No problem with me@
Well Sy Hersh was one of the few journalists courageous enough to come forward and say Seth Rich provided Wikileaks with Hillary’s emails and was probably murdered for that. He’s not a simple dem shill.

Get lost troll.
*PING*
That's why everyone from Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Schiff, Milley and much of Washington DC tried to remove him. They eventually succeeded.
