Nordstream pipeline explosions: until we have more credible theory the best we have is Seymour Hirsch

I’ve read Seymour Hersh’s article describing how the U.S. blew up three of four Nordstream gas pipelines, with Norwegian support.

I agree with Jeffrey Sachs, above. Hersh’s is the best and most comprehensive theory we have. Especially since Joe Biden [Here] and State Department Ukraine boss, Victoria Nuland [Hereas much as admitted it before the pipelines were destroyed. An ex Polish Minister tweeted “Thank you, USA”. The US was the only one with both the ability and the motive to blow them up. The idea that it was Russia is absurd on its face. Poland and Ukraine had motive but not the ability. Germany had neither. 

Sachs also has a go at the New York Times. As a five-decades-long subscriber myself, I agree with his critique. We’re not getting the full story. On anything, especially Ukraine. Misinformation by omission, at the very least. 

ADDED: June 6 2023 article in WaPo says Ukrainians did it, and that the U.S. was advised as early as June 2022. If true, then the US ran cover for them by blaming Russia. I also wonder what this does to the Seymour Hersh theory above, given that he has a history of being right, of being able to suss out credible anonymous sources. I put weight on his theory — that U.S. deep sea explosion experts did it — because he’s Seymour Hersh. Maybe the U.S. guys worked with the Ukrainians.
