“How America Took Out the Nord Stream Pipeline,” by renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh ... reports that President Joe Biden, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland devised a covert plan to destroy the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline, a project that would have delivered Russian natural gas to Germany and the rest of Europe.
According to Hersh’s sources, the U.S. Navy’s deep-sea divers planted explosives on the pipeline in June near the Danish Island of Bornholm, using the cover of a joint NATO exercise to disguise their activities, then remotely detonated the bombs in September, just as the European appetite for continuing the endless trains of money and war materiel to Ukraine was beginning to fade.
“As long as Europe remained dependent on the pipelines for cheap natural gas, Washington was afraid that countries like Germany would be reluctant to supply Ukraine with the money and weapons it needed to defeat Russia,” Hersh wrote.
The import of this story should not be lost on Americans. It appears that our government has attacked the civilian infrastructure of an allied country and a member of the NATO alliance—Germany—for the purposes of maintaining a geostrategic advantage over both Europe and Russia.
Such an attack would be many things: an act of international terrorism, a war crime, a betrayal of an ally and of the NATO treaty, an attack on a nuclear superpower, and an impeachable offense by President Biden.
Above all, it would be an evil action, revealing the utter moral bankruptcy of the claim, oft repeated by both neoliberals and neoconservatives, that the United States government acts as a moral force in the world, spreading abroad freedom, democracy, and the high principles of the American Founding Fathers.

And from a Canadian no less....
There was a time President Trump sanctioned the Norstream2 pipeline. There was another time when Russia and Germany corruptly colluded to bust those sanctions. But facts never get in the way of a good America hating tantrum from the Chomskyite fringe of politics.
We need to impeach both Joe Biden and Kamella Harris. Biden exhibits clear dementia and Kamella is incompetent!
Yes, we can leave. But we Americans who were born here have a right to expect better of our government. We also have a right to excoriate our nation if we think it's become evil.
I assure you, the modern Left supports America’s warmongering abroad, just as it supports America’s suppression of dissent at home.
I'm sick of the American Empire sanctioning this or that nation, dictating who can and cannot trade. Often based on whether they support our globohomo agenda.
“the modern Left supports America’s warmongering abroad”
Nonsense:
Here are some headlines from the far left on the Ukraine War:
* Biden’s reckless escalation toward nuclear war with Russia
* Yale historian Timothy Snyder promotes anti-Russian racism
* The pseudo-left promotes imperialist war

has nothing to do with what the US wants
Germany is not trading with Russia because Germany recognizes the genuine danger a warmongering Russia represents ... i.e., after Ukraine, Germany could be Russia’s next target
that’s something you Russian shills just can’t comprehend
get lost Russian AH
Sorry, can’t help there. If you have got a beef with President Trump’s policies take it up with him and not me.
We did not blow up the pipeline. The Biden administration seems to have blown up the pipeline.
In divorcing America from the Democrats, I’ve found that I can no longer be shamed/blamed for a great many things: slavery, segregation, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, the Trail of Tears, losing the Vietnam war, voter fraud, and systemic racism, come to mind.
You should be banned from this forum at a minimum, but ideally you should be banned from living.
If you are cheering on russia, that means you are cheering on genocide
Says the guy from the United States northern suburb
It's a classic Russian op to sow discord in NATO. Hersh simply let his America-hating, treasonous disposition get the better of his judgment. He should have been hanged 50 years ago.

That’s just how obtuse you are. You probably still deny his work here:

He’s not only relying on his single source. He’s also relying on statements made by this corrupt administration. He’s also relying on verification he’s received from other miners who are familiar with it.
There’s only about 3 countries that had the capability to do it.
Biden, promised to destroy it and he did:
“If Russia invades, that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”
When asked how, the president says, “I promise you, we will be able do that.”

It’s an act of war against both Russia an Germany. It also violated neutrality in the active WWIII in the Ukraine area and now Russia has every right to retaliate...to fight their opponent.
alliteration always alarms altruistic alpacas.
You don’t think that anybody involved would’ve decided “hey This immoral and highly illegal I got to tell somebody”
Hard to prove or disprove at this point. But given our government and it's current trajectory, not far fetched.
“America didn’t blow it up. Biden did, and it is no longer accurate to say the president represents the nation. Biden represents the deep state.”
