New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, a step toward determining responsibility for an act of sabotage that has confounded investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months.
U.S. officials said that they had no evidence President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials.
Doesn’t explain how, or really who, just some “pro Ukrainian group”
It is a bit odd that Ukraine, who doesn’t exactly have a top skill navy, would so happen to have a commando team skilled enough to do an underwater detonation covertly.
I didn’t get all the details of Hersh’s reporting but I think the German reporting doesn’t match up with what he said happened though.
I guess Russia has a strong incentive to not give up before 2024 and to meddle in the next presidential election. Someone tell them they need to take out DeSantis. Stay away from windows, Ron!
Right. The CIA works in mysterious ways. No matter who says anything about how it went down or who did it, it’ll always be the CIA was ultimately behind it, even if no one ever saw them do anything.
You’d have to be a real hardcore idiot to think the CIA aren’t likely to be involved in some capacity in important global events, seeing how they exist to do just that.
If you want to say it was good that the US blew up the pipeline then I think you’re wrong but who cares. The people who think like six Ukrainians rented a fucken schooner and drove it up to the the baltic sea and blew up the pipeline? I guess they’ll believe anything the government says, no matter how outlandish.
Why are you sure frogmen were involved? Couldn’t they just lower the explosives from the boat? A large explosive charge wouldn’t need to be in contact with the pipeline to destroy it.
Divers could have probably blown holes in the pipelines with only a few pounds of explosives. The fact that this was done with large explosions that could be detected from far away makes me think it wasn’t done by frogmen.
