February 10: It was Joe, with the Torpedo, in the Strait!?!
In which, the Biden administration may have started a secret, illegal war with Russia.
It was Joe, with the Torpedo, in the Strait!?!
Back in September, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline connecting Germany with Russia gas and oil was taken offline by powerful explosions. Repairs restored one pipeline, but two remain pretty ruined and inoperable.
While everyone pretty quickly assumed sabotage, there was a question as to who would do such a thing. Of course, the US and Russia blamed each other, but Danish investigators concluded that they couldn’t identify the culprit. The mystery remained… until yesterday.
Veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh posted a long piece alleging that not only was the sabotage carried out by the CIA and US Navy in cooperation with Sweden and Norway, but that the planning for the op began even before the Russian invasion on the orders of President Biden himself!
Now, you may be wondering, can this Hersh guy be trusted? Well, he’s made a career out of exposing US military and intelligence coverups and secret operations, so I think he’s got a pretty good nose for this stuff. Hersh has also been off before; and it’s hard not to do this kind of work without developing a fundamental mistrust of whatever the government says, which could create an unhelpful bias here (that may be why you’re not seeing this story on major news platforms… yet).
While Hersh has made a solid argument, I would wait to call this fact until its been confirmed by a second source.
If true, though, such an act of sabotage would be an act of war. President Biden’s team would’ve gone about starting an absolutely needless war with a nuclear power by circumventing Congressional oversight and legal restrictions on such operations. In other words, President Biden would have committed an illegal act of war that both escalated conflict with a nuclear power AND undermined the American constitutional system. That’s Mr. Unity for you…
