The “Biden didn’t blow up the Nord Stream pipeline” saga continued on June 5 with a Washington Post article, “U.S. had intelligence of detailed Ukrainian plan to attack Nord Stream pipeline,” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/06/06/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-ukraine-russia/. This comes from the “DISCORD leaks” of intelligence documents by Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira to his online circle, which the Post has been collecting from that circle and trolling through for months. The paper at first says the report in this particular document was sourced to “a European intelligence agency,” but then admits that the agency in turn sourced it only to “a Ukrainian individual.”
As with other terrorist actions like last night’s sabotage of a major hydroelectric dam in Russian-held territory in Ukraine, the Nord Stream pipelines’ destruction in late September 2022 was at first blamed (by media, “intelligence analysts,” and Ukraine) on Russia. It was then considered, briefly, a “bad action"—shock energy loss for Germany, ecological damages, terrorism. By now it can be recalled in all NATO circles as a “good action"—setback for Russia, shock energy loss for Germany, ecological damages, terrorism. But Biden, though happily congratulated for it at the time by NATO friends in Europe like Radek Sikorski and Liz Truss, can’t admit it without admitting that investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was right, once again, about a major, hidden scandal of NATO and the military-industrial complex.
