Speaking in a YouTube interview with the Consortium News outlet on Friday, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who exposed the CIA’s purported sabotage attempt on the Nord Stream pipeline, accused the Biden administration of making “so many bad mistakes,” that “it’s impossible to believe just how dumb this leadership was.”
“It was suicidal to think you can win that war, that Ukraine can win the war [against Russia]. There’s just too much corruption. That was a very, very bad decision. We should have been pushing for peace, we should have made an agreement,” the former Pulitzer Prize winner insisted.
US President Joe Biden basically “blew off NATO in Europe” by telling allies that he is backing Ukraine with its “totally corrupt government,” Hersh added. The journalist also pointed out how Kiev glorifies Stepan Bandera, “the great pro-Nazi who killed Jews like crazy during World War II.”
“It’s just silly not to right away assure the Russian government that we weren’t interested in making Ukraine a member of NATO,” Hersh stated, referring to long-standing concerns in Moscow. “NATO didn’t want Ukraine anyway because of the corruption.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as well as Under Secretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, are all “very hawkish,” Hersh said. The trio “pushed Biden very hard” to go ahead with the sabotage because “they have long-standing incredible hatred for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. It’s almost personal, I would guess,” Hersh claimed.

What was the rocket scientist dude with the bald head that liked other people’s things name again? He’s so special.
We have a DOD/CIA/State Dept. apparatus displaying full blown Dunning-Kreuger type systemic failure. A full assessment of an adversary's capabilities is not necessary if your cause is just. They simply follow NEOCON vampires without a single pang of conscience.
RE: how dumb this leadership was
“What kind of a fool do you take me for?”
“Why, is there more than one kind??”

Sammy ‘pls move away from the carousel’ Brinton,
The people of Ukraine, I think, would’ve been better off under Russian rule, they wouldn’t be taking the pounding they’re getting now.
Flame me if you want, I don’t care. Look what it’s costing us.
👍👍👍
Why should I care what Sy Hersh has to say about peace or war matters?
It truly is. Disheartening to watch ignorance and apathy causing your country go down the drain like this.
The Founding Fathers must be weeping.
Hersh: “Impossible to Believe How Dumb this Leadership Was”
“WAS?” Past tense, I think it should read still is as nothing has changed.
Nobody asked you to. But yet you ask. Why?
Buy a clue.
“ they have long-standing incredible hatred for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. It’s almost personal, I would guess,” Hersh claimed.”
It has zero to do with Putin.
The Czar was mean to their ancestors.
Didn’t know they were for sale.
There are some incredibly stupid people who blindly follow and worship Joe Biden as he leads us to become the nation that will be the “one World Government” which fulfills all prophecy. Which means we could be the Whore of Babylon. We have a leader that believes, promotes and advocates the worst of Americans and wants all Americans and the world for that matter to embrace all the immorality and lusts and greed there is here. We are about to be judged as a nation. It is so clear as day to see.
“...they have long-standing incredible hatred for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. It’s almost personal, I would guess,” Hersh claimed.”
A possible "trigger".

The Russian federal law "for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating a Denial of Traditional Family Values", also referred to in English-language media as Russia's gay propaganda law[1] or anti-gay law,[2][3][4][5] is a bill that was unanimously approved by the State Duma on 11 June 2013 (with just one MP abstaining—Ilya Ponomarev),[4] then unanimously approved by the Federation Council on 27 June 2013[6] and was signed into law by President Vladimir Putin on 30 June 2013.[3]
Why? I dunno, a good solid accurate track record going all the way back to the era when we landed on the moon?
Because if what he says is true, we have a recklessly irresponsible regime in charge of our foreign policy that could never easily push us into nuclear war or WWIII.
Good for Hersh..
Lets go Brandon!
Many here know what your dirty secrrt is.
Only in the minds of the left who see themselves as all wise. I and I imagine a good number here knew Brandon was a moron from way back and would get the US into all sorts of crap. The only surprise I have is that things aren’t worse than they are.
