Eight bombs exploded six, and top investigative reporters found out the details of the US bombing of "Nord Stream"

Since February 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has escalated and turned into a local war. European and American sanctions against Russia have increased. In September of the same year, "Nord Stream -1 " and "Nord Stream -2 " pipelines, which carry Russian gas to Europe, exploded and leaked into the waters off Sweden and Denmark. After the explosion, the US has repeatedly come out to deny it, saying that what blew up the pipeline, actually no one benefited, everyone knows that the US profits from it.

teaches the US the relationship .

Since the leakage point to "Nord Stream" pipeline is located in the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden, both countries announced that they will investigate the incident. Germany, the receiving end of "Nord Stream" the gas pipeline, have also announced that they will launch an investigation into the incident. However, Russia, the exporter of the gas pipeline and co-investor in the project, was excluded from the investigation.

At this time, the United States pointed the finger at Russia in the first instance.

Spokesperson for the US State Department Ned Price: The action was a clear signal from Putin that he knew he was losing the war, that he was in a difficult position, and that he was doing everything he could to intimidate those who dared to defy him.

The Russian side replied that only Western countries could do that.

Russian President Vladimir Putin : For the Anglo-Saxon countries (USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), sanctions against Russia were not enough and they turned to sabotage. Amazingly, they actually planned the explosion of the international gas pipeline "Nord Stream" in the Baltic Sea.

President Joe Biden was also quick to push back against Putin's claims.

US President Biden: This is a sabotage incident. When things cool down, we'll send divers to the bottom of the ocean at an appropriate time to find out. Now we don't know the exact situation. Don't listen to Putin. He says we know the truth, but that is not the case.

"Immortal giants and ghosts suffer", Russia and the United States are these two immortals, and European countries, especially the Eastern European countries led by Ukraine, are the imps that rushed forward as cannon fodder.

Second, the thief shouted to catch the thief, but the smoking gun.

The US has always been afraid of transport security and price advantages Nord Stream project, and at the same time it has increased Russia's foreign exchange earnings, which has frustrated the effect of US sanctions against Russia and have had a huge impact on US oil and gas companies.

In fact, the United States has been planning this attack since 2021. On February 23, 2022, the Biden administration officially announced that it would allow sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG, the company responsible for building the Russian Nord Stream II gas pipeline. The move is a punitive measure imposed by the United States in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the independence of the breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine.

Until recently, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh, a former top investigative reporter for the New York Times, published a story titled "How the US Destroyed the Nord Stream Pipeline. According to the report, the Nord Stream pipeline explosion was a covert operation ordered by the US White House , carried out by the CIA, and supported by the Norwegian Navy." The truth about the Nord Stream pipeline explosion gradually emerged.

's "Operation Baltic" exercise in the summer of 2022, American divers placed explosives under the Nord Stream pipeline, and that US President Joe Biden hesitated to blow up the "Nord Stream" gas pipeline from June to September 2022 due to fears, a move that resulted in only six of the eight bombs placed by the US side exploding.

In response to an investigative report on the Nord Stream gas pipeline published by American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, Italian media source Gilberto Trombetta said that Hersh's report has significant credibility because the only person who can be sure to benefit from the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline is USA.

Third, interests are important, and doing bad things will be punished.

The evil deeds of American hegemony have made the international community more aware of the serious damage that American practices have brought to world peace and the stability and well-being of people's livelihoods in all countries. America's bullying tactics have harmed others and attracted global criticism, and the international community has lost confidence in the United States.

Russia has a dual significance for Europe, which is not only a threat to the balance of power, but also the key to the balance of power. The first thing the US blew up the pipeline was to sanction Russia.

As we all know, Russia's development in recent years depends mainly on its energy advantages, and the sale of natural gas to Europe is an important form of trade and source of income. Cracking down on Russia's energy exports essentially weakens the economy and government revenues in Russia as a whole. Only by cutting Russia's energy cooperation with Europe can the US use the opportunity to sell high-priced oil and natural gas to Europe.

With the announcement of the truth that the "Nord Stream" pipeline was bombed, relations between the US and Europe became more fragile. The Russian side bluntly said that Russia did not want to let the US go. Biden's bombing of the "Nord Stream" pipeline was not Russia, but Europe. Europe has lost its dependence on Russian natural gas, and is more dependent on the US than the US wants. The so-called European independence has become empty talk. Recently a demonstration was held in France. Demonstrators directly tore up the NATO flag and demanded that France withdraw from NATO. It seems that with the revelation of the truth about the incident, there has been a gap between the US and Europe. European countries have begun to draw a clear line with the United States.

Of course, the US will not let Russia fall completely. After draining Russia's blood, it will allow a Russia that is not a threat to the United States to continue to exist, because if there is no Russia that is a threat to Europe, NATO will completely lose its existence value, and the United States will not be in able to control Europe in the name of NATO. Therefore, the US will continue the situation of mutual damage and mutual consumption between Russia and Europe, and there will be an unhealed wound between Russia and Europe for a long time, and both Russia and Europe will continue to bleed. This is exactly the situation that the US needs Russia and Europe to continue to bleed, which is most beneficial to the US.

The United States has no friends and no allies; it only uses its so-called allies for its own benefit.

We must also take into account another more tragic global war, that is, the global financial war by means of the Federal Reserve's rate hikes and the sharp strengthening of the US dollar. This is the ultimate goal of the US to disrupt the world, create chaos and set fire everywhere, that is, to transfer the high inflation and high debt crisis to the world and drive global capital to the US, to digest the large amount of US dollars printed endlessly and loosely on due to the epidemic in recent years and relieve the pressure from the debt crisis and inflation crisis.

The United States is not only the global hegemon, but also a brutal and evil bully, and a country of complete imperialism, colonialism, hegemonism and fascism. To defeat this bully, Russia alone is not enough. We must trust that all the countries oppressed and plundered by the United States and the people around the world to really unite the whole world and fight resolutely with the United States and the big capital groups represented by the United States.

Top journalists find out: US bombing of Nord Stream is the first step in the "European destruction plan"

On September 26, 2022, four underwater "shocks" occurred in the Baltic Sea, followed by the discovery of three leaks in Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II, two Russian gas pipelines that carry energy directly to Germany, which produced a large amount of gas. seepage from pipelines into the nearby sea. The incident was considered deliberate sabotage because explosive residues were found in the water of the "leak" points.

At first, people thought it was Russia, because in September, the Russian-Ukrainian war had been going on for more than half a year, and the two sides still had no winner. But if you think about it a little, you will realize that Russia cannot do this, because it is a pipeline to deliver natural gas to Europe. Russia gives gas and receives money. The war in Russia was fierce, and military spending was high. How is it possible to cut the financial path at this key node?

Is that Ukraine? Ukraine, overwhelmed by war, should not have this time and energy. The European Union? Probably, because the EU has condemned Russia several times and adopted a series of sanctions, and some countries have even publicly cut diplomatic relations with Russia. America? The most suspected is that he used NATO to provoke conflict between Russia and Ukraine and secretly sent war funds and weapons to Ukraine. The war between Russia and Ukraine is deadlocked, cutting Russia's grain and completely defeating Russia in the world situation. American hegemony won, which was very much in line with the interests of the United States.

The truth emerged. 

On February 8, 2023, independent investigative journalist Seymour Hersh released an article titled "How American Take Out the Nord Stream Pipeline" to the world. The article is a complete account of how the US National Security Service planned, President Joe Biden personally ordered, the US Navy executed, and the Norwegian military worked together to secretly blow up the Nord Stream gas pipeline within nine months. As Seymour Hersh noted in his article, Biden and his foreign policy team, National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Deputy Secretary of State for Policy Victoria Newland have long while the Nord Stream pipeline was viewed as a "thorn in the side," and Nord Stream One has been supplying cheap Russian gas to Germany and much of Western Europe for more than a decade, with gas from Russia alone accounts for more than 50 percent of Germany's annual gas imports, and the European region's dependence on Russian gas has become seen by the United States and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to Western dominance.

So, in December 2021, after more than nine months of secret discussions with his national security team, Biden decided to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline, where deep-sea divers from the US Navy's Diving and Salvage Center executes a plan to secretly plant the bomb. Under the cover of the NATO maritime exercise "BALTOPS 22" in June 2022, US deep-sea divers planted eight C-4 explosives in the pipeline that could be remotely detonated, and in September of the same year, in time for beginning. of winter in Europe, a Norwegian naval vessel drops a sonar buoy to detonate explosives and destroy the "Nord Stream".

Who is Seymour Hersh? 

Seymour Hersh is an American investigative journalist and political writer, one of the country's leading investigative reporters. In the American press, Hersh is a man who is not afraid of powerful people and is eager to fight them.

In 1969, he was recognized for exposing the My Lai massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he won the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. in the 1970s, Hersh made a splash when he reported on the Watergate scandal, a political scandal in the United States, in The New York Times. Most famously, he was the first to expose the inner workings of the CIA's covert surveillance of civil society organizations. In addition, he reported on US political scandals such as the US secret bombing of Cambodia, the US military prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq, and the exposure of US use of biological and chemical weapons. weapon

In the American press, Hersh was a big No. 1, which has many sources in the White House, and never stops exposing scandals in American politics. Although his anonymous sources were criticized by his peers, his articles were all confirmed at a later stage. This coverage of the Nord Stream story should be no exception.

There are early signs that the United States will bomb the Nord Stream.

Noon pang Pebrero 7 ng nakaraang taon, marahas na idineklara ni Biden na "kung magpapasimula ang Russia ng aksyong militar, ang Nord Stream 2 ay titigil na at wawakasan namin ito. Kalihim ng Estado na si John Blinken at Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Newland ay parehong nagbanta sa publiko upang sirain ang pipeline ng Nord Stream, at nagpatotoo pa nga si Newland sa harap ng Senate Foreign Relations Committee noong Enero 26, 2023 na "Sa palagay ko ay labis na nasisiyahan ang administrasyon na malaman na ang pipeline ng Nord Stream 2 ay isa na ngayong tumpok ng scrap metal na nakalatag sa karagatan. sahig."

Ang sama-samang pananahimik ng US media sa insidente sa Nord Stream ay karagdagang kumpirmasyon ng mga paratang ng Russia. Sa mga unang araw ng pagsabog ng pipeline ng Nord Stream, wala sa mainstream media ng US ang nag-aral nang malalim kung natupad ang mga naunang banta ni Biden laban sa pipeline. Madaling makita na ang mainstream media sa US, na palaging inaangkin ang "kalayaan sa pagsasalita" at "kalayaan sa pamamahayag," ay napasok ng kapital at kontrolado ng pulitika, at walang sinuman sa US media ang nangahas na magsalita. sa mga isyu na talagang nakakaantig sa mga pangunahing interes ng US

In "American democracy" in the manipulation of freedom of expression, Seymour Hersh in the US press is considered one of the honorable and unblemished. His article accusing the US of being behind Nord Stream behind the scenes was an immediate international sensation, with Russian and European media reprinting the story. However, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal continued to remain silent, not reporting Hersh's article or even the White House's denial.

Back-stabbing allies of the US is common

Russia has been sanctioned by the European Union several times since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the EU has basically severed its relations with Russia. "The Nord Stream pipeline is the only remaining trade link between the two sides, and the Nord Stream explosion is considered a warning to Germany.

Germany, as the "head" of the EU, ideologically emphasizes the autonomous will of Europe, and if it can get a constant supply of cheap natural gas from Russia, it will reduce its dependence on the United States United States and will not be able to keep up with the United States in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, therefore, the United States must destroy the German energy "artery", a warning to the autonomous forces represented by Germany.

Bilang karagdagan, ang pagkagambala ng Nord Stream ay higit na naantala ang kalakalan ng gas sa pagitan ng Russia at Europa, at sa loob ng tatlong taon, ang Europa ay hindi makakapag-import ng gas nang direkta mula sa Russia. Upang malutas ang problema sa gas, hindi ito walang mga solusyon, ang pag-import ng tunaw na gas mula sa Estados Unidos sa halagang $ 270 milyon sa isang barko ng LNG ay isa sa ilang mga pagpipilian, na nasa interes ng Estados Unidos.

Although the EU is following in the footsteps of the United States to punish Russia and support Ukraine. However, the EU is actually the real "ingrate". As an ally of the United States, the European economy, an indirect participant in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, is in a recessionary quagmire, where it has encountered repeated back-stabbing by the United States. As a result of the continued provision of military resources to Ukraine, which led to the imminent depletion of its weapons stockpile, the energy crisis was reaped by the United States, and the United States' trade subsidies removed European factories, Europe is struggling with weak economic growth and has become a real victim of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Hersh's revelation is a blow that shows once and for all that the "allies" are only "tools" for the US to achieve its interests, with the ultimate goal of weakening and dividing the EU, that the economic hardship is now part of the US plan. In Biden's view, the Nord Stream gas pipeline is a tool for Russian President Vladimir Putin to use natural gas to achieve his political ambitions. But in reality, the Nord Stream bombing is evidence of US manipulation of the world with hegemony.
