Veteran investigative reporter Seymour Hersh charges the US military was behind the explosion. Ned Price dismisses claims despite US government statements. Says administration abides by WPR.
that was an outstanding series of questions in the midst of ridiculous pushback. i’m amazed they want to deny this, even prior to Sy’s piece. now it’s Theater Of The Absurd.
Sy Hersch has far more credibility than Ned Price or any other federal government spokesperson. The point Sy made is that neither CIA nor JSOC were used, which would have entailed Congressional oversight. I suspect these Florida divers were contractors and had no formal link to the military. They were directly controlled by the WH to maximize secrecy.
I believe Biden blew up Nordstream 2. There is no other context in which the threatening hints make sense. In spite of all the careful planning, too many were involved. No wonder the truth leaked out.
Thank you, Mr. Husseini. Great work! I laughed out loud when the worm says, "Beyond getting his facts entirely wrong, as he has before in very high-profile ways..." Haha!!!
Tony Blinken and Joe Biden need to be disbarred for lying, on their way to prison for this crime. This article should be investigated by Congress and it looks like it’s down to the GOP. For humankind sake, someone needs to uncover the truth. That is a massive crime.
Why are you ignoring the actual results of the poll (which show that a majority of Crimeans did *not* want to be annexed by Russia, and that only 40% of Crimeans identified as Russian)? Instead you insist that even conducting the poll is somehow suspicious.
"Expanding closer to Russia" meaning that Russia's neighbors spent 20 years begging and pleading to be allowed into NATO so they'd be protected against Russian invasion.
It's Russia that's desperately sending untrained and barely-equipped conscripts into battle to get slaughtered, with ethnic minorities being drafted at anywhere from 10 to an astonishing 100 times the rate of ethnic Russians.
No, Nordstream was built in an attempt to make Europe reliant on Russian gas, so that Russia could use it as a weapon against Europe. Russia hoped that it would make Germany submissive to them, and thus allow Russia to wage war as they see fit without Europe intervening.
Everything Russia has done for the past 20 years shows what a catastrophe it would've been if NATO had been broken up in 1991 like you suggest. If NATO didn't still exist, Russia would've already invaded the Baltic states and probably also Poland and Romania.
The people of Donbas *did not* request anything of the sort. The "vote" Russia held was a blatant sham, held quite literally at gunpoint. And ethnic Russians are a *minority* of the population in Donbas, so even if the ethnic Russians really do want to be part of Russia, they don't get to override the Ukrainian majority.
"It would not be typical for us to engage allies and partners on something that is utter and complete nonsense". So did they or didn't they?

Finally a Journalistic question. Ned Price''s body language show it all. He is lying

Direct questions, followed by US government tropes.
With so many American politicians on board for the destruction of that pipeline who did people think blew it up -- Tinkerbell?
just a note that sy hersh used this in his latest update and tease for his upcoming stuff. i’m just so glad there’s a few of you good guys left!

If the US did blow up the pipeline...GOOD.
Russia is not an ally.
Gazprom is Russia.
There was never any Ukrainian army that was building on Russia's border. It was Russia that massed *their* army on Ukraine's border. And then invaded.
Russia didn't "finish" anything in either Syria or Ukraine. All they do is bomb cities and massacre civilians.
The people in Crimea are not "Russia's people". And it's not up to Crimea whether Ukraine joins NATO.
Russia does *not* in fact control the Black Sea.
And that's a neat trick to have aircraft carrier "sitting off Serbia's coast", seeing as Serbia doesn't *have* a coast.
Again, Serbia is a landlocked country. How exactly do you imagine that aircraft carrier's presence has anything to do with Serbia?
Why are you ignoring the actual results of the poll (which show that a majority of Crimeans did *not* want to be annexed by Russia, and that only 40% of Crimeans identified as Russian)? Instead you insist that even conducting the poll is somehow suspicious.
Sorry to inform you of this, but Serbia just isn't that important.
It's Russia that's the imperialist nation. They're the ones that invaded Ukraine and seized Crimea.
How on Earth would that pipeline have brought about "peace with Russia"?
We're certainly not spending too much money. If anything, we're not spending *enough* money.
"Expanding closer to Russia" meaning that Russia's neighbors spent 20 years begging and pleading to be allowed into NATO so they'd be protected against Russian invasion.
Whenever Elon Musk says something, you can be sure that it's a lie. And he shills hard for Putin these days.
It's Russia that's desperately sending untrained and barely-equipped conscripts into battle to get slaughtered, with ethnic minorities being drafted at anywhere from 10 to an astonishing 100 times the rate of ethnic Russians.
There have been nowhere near "700,000 Ukrainians" killed. What Russian propaganda did you get that lie from?
And Russia doesn't get any "sanction relief" until every last Russian is out of Ukraine.
No, Nordstream was built in an attempt to make Europe reliant on Russian gas, so that Russia could use it as a weapon against Europe. Russia hoped that it would make Germany submissive to them, and thus allow Russia to wage war as they see fit without Europe intervening.

The only way to end the war is to defeat the fascist invader. And no, Crimea has not "been Russian since 1783".
Typical Russian lies. Claiming that building is a "villa" owned by Zelensky, when in fact he simply has a 3-room penthouse within the building.
That's rich, to bring up the Crimean Tatars, who are being oppressed under Russian rule as if they'd be opposed to Ukraine taking back Crimea.
The people of Donbas *did not* request anything of the sort. The "vote" Russia held was a blatant sham, held quite literally at gunpoint. And ethnic Russians are a *minority* of the population in Donbas, so even if the ethnic Russians really do want to be part of Russia, they don't get to override the Ukrainian majority.
I'm sure praise from someone like you means a lot to Sam, Matthew. Not many people are willing to resign for principle as you did.
