The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now
The U.S. Navy’s Diving and Salvage Center can be found in a location as obscure as its name—down what was once a country lane in rural Panama City, a now-booming resort city in the southwestern panhandle of Florida, 70 miles south of the Alabama border. The center’s complex is as nondescript as its location—a drab concrete post-World War II structure that has the look of a vocational high school on the west side of Chicago. A coin-operated laundromat and a dance school are across what is now a four-lane road.
The center has been training highly skilled deep-water divers for decades who, once assigned to American military units worldwide, are capable of technical diving to do the good—using C4 explosives to clear harbors and beaches of debris and unexploded ordinance—as well as the bad, like blowing up foreign oil rigs, fouling intake valves for undersea power plants, destroying locks on crucial shipping canals. The Panama City center, which boasts the second largest indoor pool in America, was the perfect place to recruit the best, and most taciturn, graduates of the diving school who successfully did last summer what they had been authorized to do 260 feet under the surface of the Baltic Sea.

Worth reading every word of it.
Seymour Hiroshima the crazy communist.
Except he is exactly right on this one.
Have you even read the article?
Sure he is.
I did.
It reads like poorly written fiction.
Which is odd. Enough so I wonder if he wrote it.
Seymour Hiroshima the crazy communist.
And?
What is Brandon?
this is all irrelevant now, since NordStream isn’t needed anymore, Europe is doing fine without Russian gas

Why deny it?
For neocons, its something to be proud of! As the T-shirt slogan says: F*** with us, and find out!
When you are at war with Russia, and potentially China, its something the world needs to know.
This was an ACT OF WAR against the largely German owned pipeline network. America is NOT legally at war with either Germany (a supposed ally) or Russia.
Seymour Hersh and unnamed “sources with direct knowledge.” 🙄
FYI!
Thanks to SmokingJoe for posting this.
Why don’t you go for getting your own country nuked and leave us out of it.
LOL
nobody’s getting nuked
Ping. Blinken and Nuland fans will deny. After Hersh broke the My Lai he was on the NSA watchlist. Also wrote that Obama lied about the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Hardly. It's Hersh, who ought to have hanged for treason decades ago.
Given how the US leaks like a sieve, the notion the US could hide such an operation is ludicrous.
