Not hard to believe at all.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has released a darned good expose on how the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline Sept/2022. I sure do miss the days of investigative journalism.
If this were a criminal investigation, you'd have to agree that the US had motive, opportunity, and capability. Biden is on record saying he was going to do something about the pipeline. Doesn't require an inspector Jacques Clouseau to solve this mystery.
Moving 50 meters of that pipe would require thousands of pounds of explosives — not something a team of divers can do. So it would appear that mines were laid. The pipe diameter is 48″, wall thickness is 1.6″, each section is 39′ and weighs 48,000lbs. 164′ of pipe has been displaced/removed/shredded - no longer in the trench were it was laid. There is about 100' separation between pipes - 3 of the 4 pipes were destroyed. A very big bunch of KABOOMS indeed.
I would imagine those responsible for planning this were worried mostly about the blowback from Germany, as the Germans are in the midst of a cold winter without Russian natural gas.
Edward Snowden, now a citizen of Russia, commented in support of Hersh's theory. Sad that so few challenge our biased media and Government disinformation. The Twitter files have shown us how far the FBI and DHS will go to censor stories and people — why would any thinking person doubt that the Biden administration would lie about their deed. Pre-Musk, Twitter would've suspended Hersh's account at the Government's request.
Russia is a tiny economy and is powerless to punish the US. However Germany is Europe's largest economy and could do something — if they wanted to. Somehow I suspect we're selling them LNG at a very good price.
