Sure, there are probably some holes/slight inaccuracies in Hersh's story. This particular "debunking" is mostly nitpicking. The tweet about the minesweeper path is a head-scratcher, because it sure looks like the boat slowed down/loitered near both blast sites. It is interesting that the White House, CIA, State Department, and establishment media class all found the need to promptly respond to what they characterized as a "blog post" and "conspiracy theory" from a "discredited former journalist". Thousands of such speculations are published every day on the internet, and the government does not find the need to respond. It is also interesting that none of the above government organizations volunteered an alternative explanation for who bombed their ally's critical infrastructure. You would think that the #1 intelligence service in the world would be able to offer some explanation on the matter, almost half a year later, to quell the speculation.

Hersh is well connected to the Russian intelligence agencies and has been for his entire career, including before the recently very viable "Debunking" of his Syria story-line (another story that benefited Russia). He's publicly stated he is close friends with Scott Ritter, who recently called for Ukraine's "annihilation", and both are regular guests on propaganda organ RT. Hersh's previous activity played a key role in eliminating support for anti-Russian forces in Syria. Hundreds of thousands are dying in Ukraine right now. I think it's pretty obvious exactly why Russia would want want to pin these explosions on the USA, and why the USA would take steps to ensure the truth came out,

    No. There were pro-democratic forces.. forces that were basically abandoned by the USA and other, and quickly exterminated following Obama’s capitulation to Putin in 2013.
